    For routine men's health examinations, the men's department is given priority. If the hospital does not have a separate men's department, you can choose the urology department. If you only do basic general screening, you can also consider a regular physical examination center.

    A while ago, I asked my cousin about registration. He is 35 years old and has been running business all year round. Recently, he has always felt soreness in his back and frequent urination. He wanted to do a complete men's health check-up. I first helped him check up on a tertiary hospital near his home. There happened to be an independent men's department and he checked in directly. During the consultation, the doctor also specifically asked him whether he had the habit of sitting for a long time or drinking. In addition to the routine blood and urine routine and prostate color ultrasound, he also added sex hormone and PSA screening. The whole process was very smooth.

    If the hospital you go to is not of a high level and the men's department is not separated from the urology department, don't worry. The urology department itself covers all diagnosis and treatment areas of male reproduction and urinary system, and routine health examinations can be fully covered. The community hospital downstairs in my house only has the urology department. The last time the neighbor boy had a pre-marital male examination, he registered there. The routine semen and infectious indicator screening can be done without any delay.

    Many people also think it is more convenient to go directly to the physical examination center without the need for an equal sign. This is indeed true. Last year, my colleague had an annual physical examination and specially added additional items related to male reproduction. It was found that the sperm motility was low. In the end, he took the report to the men's department and registered with a doctor for an adjustment plan. Therefore, if you just want to do a routine screening without follow-up diagnosis and treatment, the physical examination center is an easy choice. However, if you have uncomfortable symptoms or need targeted intervention after the examination, it is more secure to register with the clinical department.

    If you happen to be preparing for pregnancy and want to have a pre-pregnancy male health check-up, you can also choose the reproductive medicine department of some hospitals, especially if both husband and wife are doing the check-up together. Directly attending the reproductive department can save you having to go to both sides. The specific choice can be flexibly adjusted according to your own medical needs and the department settings of the local hospital. You don’t have to choose a certain department.
