What Men’s Health Clinics Can Do?

Heart disease, cancer, and unintentional injury are among the top health threats for men. The majority of men’s health problems can be prevented. Include physical activity and a healthy diet in your daily routine to promote a healthy lifestyle.

Managing risky behavior, such as drinking too much and engaging in casual sex, is also important. Additionally, common sense precautions – such as wearing a seat belt and using safety ladders – are important. Men’s health concerns change as they age.

Make sure you see your doctor yearly and keep these appointments. The level of cholesterol in your blood can be monitored by your doctor as well as your weight and blood pressure. Cardiovascular disease is associated with excess weight, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. Weight loss, blood pressure control, and cholesterol control can be achieved with lifestyle changes, medications, or other treatments recommended by your doctor.

Men’s health includes various sex-specific health problems and general wellness checks.

Erectile dysfunction can be treated at a men’s health clinic. An erection is not firm enough for sex when a man struggles to get or maintain it. The act of ejaculating involves the release of semen from the penis. Some men ejaculate too soon (premature ejaculation), some men ejaculate too slowly (delayed ejaculation), and some men do not ejaculate at all. Men’s health clinics can also treat ejaculation problems.

Male infertility is another problem treated by men’s health clinics. A low sperm count, sperm delivery issues, or hormonal imbalance can cause this. An enlarged prostate can be treated at men’s health clinics, along with prostate cancer awareness and testicular cancer treatment.

Men with low testosterone, as well as symptoms, can be helped by a good men’s health clinic. The testicles produce testosterone, which is the male sex hormone. A low testosterone level can lead to fatigue and a lack of sexual drive.

In a good clinic, you will be evaluated for the cause of your problem and will have access to all testosterone delivery systems. Among these are injections of testosterone into muscle tissue and subcutaneous tissue, subcutaneous pellets, oral pills, and nasal sprays. During treatment, patients will receive regular checkups and blood work to evaluate their prostate, hematocrit, and cardiovascular health. As testosterone treatment can negatively affect fertility, they will also ask if you plan to have children shortly.

Every doctor’s visit should include a physical exam. In a routine physical, however, there are no absolutes. Good doctors listen to your concerns and provide counseling based on your specific complaints and risk factors, whether they are thorough or brief. A male wellness exam will include many non-sex-specific components such as reviewing medical and family history, checking vital signs, blood pressure, heart rate, respiration, weight, and checking the patient’s temperature. Heart exams, lung exams, head and neck exams, general appearance, and more will also be checked.

There are several sex-specific checkups during a male wellness exam. Doctors can check each testicle for lumps, tenderness, or size changes during a testicular exam. Usually, men with testicular cancer notice growth before they see a doctor. The purpose of a hernia exam is to determine if there is a weakness in the abdominal wall between the intestines and scrotum. Penis exams may reveal evidence of sexually transmitted infections such as warts or ulcers. In a prostate exam, a doctor inserts a finger in the rectum to feel the prostate for size and suspicious areas.

Routine physicals, male wellness exams, diagnosis and treatment are all aspects you should expect when visiting a men’s health clinic. Visits to a men’s health clinic can instill preventative measures to avoid several serious conditions that affect men.
