It would be more accurate to say when should you see a doctor. The Answer is if your breasts are bothering you, or if you find a lump in your breast. The fibrocystic tendency itself doesn't need any specific treatment. The issue is to determine whether the lump, nipple discharge, tenderness or other problem might be due to fibrocystic disease or may be a sign of something more serious. So, if you are having a problem with your breast, you should see your physician.

You have probably already participated in a thyroid exam without even knowing it. A manual gland exam is part of every annual check-up, and often a part of your bi-annual dental hygiene appointments (that’s why they feel your neck). If you have a family history of thyroid conditions you should start getting thyroid blood tests at age 20, or earlier if you have symptoms — we see women in their late-teens and early 20’s with thyroid conditions.

Recent studies have caused me to believe that men should have an initial PSA test earlier than I previously recommended. All men should have an annual PSA test and a digital rectal exam beginning at age 40 to assess their risk of having prostate cancer or developing prostate cancer in the future. And if men have a family history of early age-at-onset prostate cancer, then the PSA should be tested at 35. I recommend biopsy for a suspicious DRE or a PSA of more than 2.5.

Genital herpes can be painful, inconvenient, and upsetting, but it's not considered a life-threatening condition. Even so, it may increase your risk of getting HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, because the sores are prime spots for HIV to get into your body.

Predictably perhaps they find it more difficult to talk to their daughters than their sons. Children develop at different rates and there is no magic age. However their questions should always be answered. Sometimes they pick up half the stories and get the whole thing wrong.
