[quote=Anonymous]It is very typical Male behavior that your hubby does not want to see a doctor - - many many (did I say many??!) men hate visiting their doctor’s office.

OP, you can only do so much.
At his age it is a wise idea for him to see a PCP to obtain a general physical.
At the very least he should get his bloodwork done.
It doesn’t take very long to draw blood & the results are very important.

I am fifty-seven (Female) ➕ I just had my labs done last month for the first time in yrs.
Turned out I had very high cholesterol and am now on a statin.
It’s a tiny little pill that I take daily and has zero side effect.
It is supposed to bring my levels down 50%.
High cholesterol is very dangerous as plaque built up in arteries can lead to heart issues.

I also learned that I am pre-diabetic & am on new medication for that as well.

I can understand your husband’s squeamishness over getting a colonoscopy however.
He may not need one &gt; TMI: He can first bring a stool sample into his Dr.[/quote]
