DOB | 27/07/1968 (47 years) |
Occupation | Anthropologist |
History | My younger son mentioned that I am looking like I have developed a yellowish tan and I thought I should get it checked up. I am quite worried I may have cancer because I can't think of any other reason my skin could have changed colour. Over the last few years I have had increasing joint pain and feeling very tired. If directly asked, admits to being unable to maintain an erection. I have not noticed any changes to my urine or stool. I have not been feeling itchy or noticed any other symptoms. |
Past Medical History | Had my appendix taken out when I was 16 |
Drug History | I occasionally take paracetamol for the joint pain. No known allergies |
Family History | My maternal uncle has some sort of liver problem. I don't know any more. My father had a heart attack when he was 65. My mother has COPD which she got at 60 after many years of smoking heavily |
Social History | Non-smoker. Do not drink alcohol. No recent travel. Sexually active with wife no other sexual partners |
