Men's Health Q & A

What common issues affect men’s health?

When it comes to the top 15 leading causes of death, men outpace women in all of them except for Alzheimer’s disease, making consistent and regular monitoring of your health vital. The most common issues that you should have checked are:

Cardiovascular disease

Cardiovascular problems such as atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries, are common among men.

Prostate cancer

One in six men develop prostate cancer of some kind, which, when caught early, is highly treatable.

Diabetes

Type 2 diabetes due to weight issues is a common problem among men.

Erectile dysfunction (ED)

Erectile problems are common and sometimes require medical intervention. ED can also signal heart disease.

Depression

Men often internalize and ignore the symptoms of depression without seeking treatment. Sometimes depressed mood is transient and will go away by itself, but many times there is an underlying hormonal issue that requires treatment. A trained medical professional can help you determine whether or not treatment or medication is necessary. Don’t be embarrassed to ask for help. Contrary to what insurance companies and the ill-informed may believe, each individual patient is unique and there is NO one-size fits all treatment; two patients can respond completely different to the same therapy, which is why it is so important to be monitored and have individualized care. We recommend that any patient steer clear of testosterone “mills” or mail order treatments and stick with a medical provider who has the patient's best interest in mind.

What happens during a men’s wellness exam?

The first order of business with any exam, whether you’re male or female, is to track your vitals and measurements, including your:

Height
Weight
Heart rate
Blood pressure
Medical History

What are the recommended preventive care practices for men?

Lifestyle changes, like quitting smoking and drinking
Weight loss
Exercise
Nutrition

While health issues still arise, practicing solid preventive care goes a long way toward maintaining your optimal health and avoiding potentially devastating problems down the road.
