Male hormones... Male hormones... Male hormones... Male hormones... Hello, everyone. We're at the hospital. I came with my honey Rayoon to get a checkup at the hospital. We're in our 30s. Born in 1993.

I was born in 1991, so I'm 34, and... - Two.
- She's 32. But we've been working out for more than 10 years and we always stayed on a diet while working out so let's see if our results say we're healthy.

My girlfriend said she's going to break up with me
if I don't have much male hormones. Male hormones are the most important - when building muscles, so...
- Yeah. I'm going to check my hormones, my blood, and the full checkup.

We'll take this opportunity to check if we're healthy in our 30s. You two are going to get checkups today so let me explain a bit about that. You both applied for the VIP checkup. We'll be checking for lung nodules

or pneumonia by having you undergo a CT scan. We're also going to do a chest X-ray as part of the basic procedure. The blood test for blood cancer screening includes checks for colon cancer, pancreatic cancer, and lung cancer. For men, we will also check your testosterone levels.

That's what he's most excited about. Really? I'm going to rank number one in this hospital. Sure. You'll have a carotid artery ultrasound and a thyroid ultrasound as well as upper abdominal, and lower abdominal ultrasounds.

For the upper abdomen, the ultrasound
will check the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas. For the lower abdomen, we'll check the prostate for men and the ovaries and uterus for women. Please go change. Is this the back?

Yes, that's the back. So when I'm laying down - do they open it like this?
- That's right. - The doctor does?
- Yes. Okay. It'll be easy for me to use the restroom. Do your clothes open up there too?

I was shocked after seeing that. I've never seen pants like these. Me too. They do look like matching pajamas though. I think it's going to feel weird. Why? No one's ever entered through the back, so... Even though I'll be under anesthesia

I heard you might react without
realizing it if a foreign object enters. Yeah. Let's head over to the InBody. See? I told you I was 179cm. I lost weight. 131 to 88. Seven. Two.

Four. Six. You got 1.4 and 0.9. You have to keep blowing. More! Put pressure on your stomach and more! More! More! Are you doing okay? Yeah. Can I do it again? I'll leave it to you.

You're so good with the needle. We just got some tests done. - Did we do about five right now?
- Yeah. But there is a problem. They found something wrong with the both of us. I have a nodule on my

- thyroid...
- thyroid. It's this big. Isn't that pretty big? It was this big when I saw it on the ultrasound. Where? Where is it? Really? This is why people need checkups. And I have two polyps

in my gallbladder. We still have to get a colonoscopy and an endoscopy but they said they could remove the
polyps if they find any during the colonoscopy but I won't be able to work out for a week.

That's my biggest concern. Really? Can't you just do it? - Then I'll start bleeding...
- You're strong-willed, honey. I'll be doing squats, and my butthole... It's okay. You have to eat healthy.

If you eat bad food you won't be able to see it, but it stays in your body. You have to grab it. I have to poop... This is just the right size. I feel better than I thought I would. I don't think I rambled.

I'm not rambling now, am I? - Right?
- Yeah. I'm pretty good. Rayoon, baby. Are you awake? They said you pooped. Really? Yeah. Why did I wake up first? You're laying down, honey.

We came to hear the results. - I'm nervous.
- I'm a bit worried because when we checked they had to remove my polyps - and you too.
- Yeah. And they said they found something in my pancreas - and Rayoon has something in her thyroid.
- In my thyroid.

We talked for a bit earlier and they say Rayoon needs to come back for more tests. Oh my gosh. So we're worried about that - but first, we'll be fine... we'll listen to what the doctor has to say.

And my testosterone levels that you guys are the most curious about. I'm actually super confident but the doctor looks... No, no. Then we'll go ahead and hear our results from the doctor. You're probably most curious - about your testosterone level.
- Yes.

I'm going to explain the blood test results first. Your testosterone level is good. Bravo! Honey, that's me. Honey! I was worried. - They're very nice.
- I knew it! That means you're within the normal range.

What is my number? It's 18.7. So, you're within the normal range
even when compared to your age group. Are testosterone levels really connected to sexual stamina? It's difficult to say they are and difficult to say they aren't

because if you have a high testosterone level after some time they affect the prostate. An enzyme called "5-alpha reductase" can convert testosterone into a substance known as "dihydrotestosterone," which can
have some negative effects on our body

and cause the prostate to enlarge. Your testosterone levels will drop and your DHT levels will rise. Within that process if your prostate grows larger, then sexual function also declines. - The prostate enlargement...
- That's right. - Those might affect those areas.
- So I guess it's not good to have too much.

That's right. I was worried that they might come out too high. In the case of testosterone levels before and after your 40s, it gradually decreases by one to two percent each year. But generally, if that reaches 3.5 to 4.5

then we advise caution and if it goes below 3.5 then you have to get treated. And how are you right now? 18.7. Nice. Is my number considered high among men? Your levels appear to be on the
higher side compared to men in general.

Did you hear that? - That's me.
- That's reassuring. I heard high testosterone levels have something to do with baldness. Is that true? Testosterone doesn't make you go bald. Testosterone, when altered by an enzyme called "5-alpha reductase"

produces byproducts of male hormones known as "dihydrotestosterone." These act on the hair follicles in the scalp making the hair thinner and shortening the life cycle of the hair follicles, and these guys lead to hair becoming finer and eventually falling out.

To reduce these hormones, we take medications like "Propecia" or "Avodart" which are known as "5-alpha reductase inhibitors" or blockers. If you take those, it may cause your male functions to weaken. So if you don't want to go bald
then you do have to weaken them a bit, right?

It's like a double-edged sword. Seriously... - It's a bit difficult.
- My goodness, honey. It's okay if you go bald. - Is that okay?
- That's okay. - Being bald is better?
- It's fine if you're bald.

- Having a bald head is better? Okay.
- It's fine, I'll love you. Okay. Other than that, your thyroid levels are all normal too. Since this was a special VIP checkup conducted at our hospital, we have also carried out all tests for cancer markers.

Those are all normal too. Your liver's synthesis ability is good and the excretory function, electrolytes, and other liver markers are all within a healthy range, so I don't see any problems... But actually, I've gotten a few blood tests done

and when you take my blood,
you take that blood and run the tests, right? So, I think hospitals that run as many tests as possible are nice. We looked at the results here
and they told us a lot of detailed results.

It'd be nice to find a hospital like this and get a checkup. Next, we performed a biopsy during your colonoscopy and during your colonoscopy, we removed three polyps. Three? If you take a look at the size,

there are two of them that are eight millimeters long and there was another small one. For polyps, you can simply think of them as there are polyps that turn into cancer and polyps that don't. We refer to polyps that can become cancerous as adenomas.

Polyps that don't become cancerous
are called hyperplastic polyps, juvenile polyps, and inflammatory polyps. There are three. But for you, they're all hyperplastic polyps. What a relief. - What a relief!
- They're nice polyps

that don't turn cancerous. What a relief! That's such a relief, I was worried because I heard they removed three. It's okay. For now, they aren't that big either and they're nice polyps - That's a relief.
- so through repetitive checkups

you should take care of your colon. It doesn't matter what so if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask us. The doctor from earlier explained my results and this doctor took care of Rayoon. So you're the doctor who performed
the colonoscopy and endoscopy for Rayoon, right?

Yes, that's right. Is that Rayoon's colon? Yes, it's Rayoon's colon. It's a very candid view of Rayoon's colon. Even revealing... the colon... it's clean! We don't have to reveal it like this...

There's nothing too important from the colonoscopy - because you're young.
- Yes. You have a small polyp but it was very small, only about one centimeter. We decided that it was better to remove it so we safely removed it.

From the results of the biopsy it's called a hyperplastic polyp... What a relief. - What a relief.
- You know what it is? - Yeah, we heard earlier.
- We heard earlier... - Really?
- What a relief.

It's a good thing. - It's not an adenoma.
- What a relief. It's a hyperplastic one, so it's fine and this is the endoscopy but if you look here the mucosal lining is healthy, appropriate for your age.

There's nothing that looks bad, but you do have mild gastritis. Your blood test results are out, and your liver levels are all normal. Your thyroid... I don't know if you knew, but there was a nodule.
- Yeah.

The size... They said it was quite big... It's very big. It's 1.6 centimeters. Usually, when it goes over one centimeter, it's considered big. It's 1.6... We separate them into five stages.

If it's number five, it's just cancer, and if it's number one, it's just a nodule. You're on the third level. If it turns to level four, people usually need to have a biopsy. At level three, we look closely at it

about once every six months. We need to take a look after six months. - We have to take care of that.
- It's 1.6 centimeters now, right? If it gets bigger than that, you might need to get a biopsy.

This is the one I said was strange. - That wasn't it just now?
- It wasn't that just now? You didn't mention it yet? - What?
- This can't be happening! What is it? - I was feeling relieved...
- What is it? I'm scared.

Is Rayoon going to die? No, she won't die. The problem is we conducted a test for osteoporosis - a bone density scan.
- Yes? We took an image of the lower back and examined the hip area. Your back is fine, but the hips

have a decrease in levels and there's quite a big difference. Usually, there shouldn't be a big difference like this. Your back is better than the normal woman because you work out and stuff, yes? But it's much lower than people in your age group in your legs.

Meaning the bone density. Really? It's rare to see such a large discrepancy between the two... But do you take medication... - Are you on steroids?
- No! - Do women do that too?
- I'm so disappointed in you.

- Women don't do that, do they?
- Medication... Did you inject yourself? A druggie... Honey! If you were a man and you used steroids it could have a bad effect on the density. I don't think we should go skiing, honey.

Your hip joint might break. We have to check your bone density again and if the results are the same
we'll need to figure out what the problem is. Because it's low even when she works out. But this is strange - because her back is good, but it's only her legs.
- That's interesting.

But we'll have to see if there's a different problem. To wrap it up, your thyroids, your bone density - Yes.
- and high cholesterol. I even have high cholesterol? - Cholesterol.
- Your cholesterol is in danger. It means the same thing. It's just cholesterol.

We have to check that out and having only meat is not good. Even if you do, you have to eat plenty of vegetables before you eat protein and fats. There's nothing too dangerous but there are some things we have to check so we'll get you what you need.

and take a look. Thank you. We looked over Rayoon's results as well. She was actually very scared because they said she needed additional tests. I was scared it might be cancer. But in conclusion, we both have high cholesterol levels.

People who work out tend to eat a lot of protein, so I think that's why it's high and I think genetic factors play a big role too. I hope you guys make sure to go get a checkup too. I've seen a lot of Rayoon, but I've never seen the inside of her stomach.

He's even seen my stomach. You can even see the duodenum and they explain it to you while looking at the images so the basic checkup is good, of course, but if you get a detailed checkup, you can get good information

so don't be too confident about your health. Because honestly, we work out, so I was pretty confident but you never know. Genetics play a big role and you never know so I hope you make sure to go get a checkup.
