WELL VISITS FOR HIM/HE/THEY
Talking with a health provider
Annual well visit exams should offer guidance towards optimal health and well-being behaviors, including screening tests, assessments of your health and life plans. During a Well Visit, health providers will check your weight, blood pressure, pulse and breathing rate, ask you about any health problems you have had in the past or are having now, find out about your health habits and provide guidance on what you can do to improve your health for today and for your future.
YOUR HEALTH PROVIDER SHOULD BE TALKING TO YOU ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS AND WHETHER YOU’D LIKE TO BECOME A FATHER WITHIN THE NEXT YEAR. DON’T BE SHY TO SHARE YOUR HONEST FEELINGS & PLANS WHETHER THEY ASK OR NOT.

Your health, life, and childbearing goals should be considered for discussion at each visit (even if this is not your annual visit and you’re at the clinic for another reason).
