Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: When should men start getting their cholesterol and blood pressure checked?
A: Screening should generally begin in the early 20s or earlier if there is a family history of early heart disease. We recommend annual checks to establish a baseline and monitor changes.
Q: What is the recommended age for prostate cancer screening?
A: Guidelines vary, but generally, discussions about the PSA test begin around age 50 for average-risk men. For African-American men or those with a strong family history, discussions may begin earlier (age 40–45). We practice shared decision-making regarding this screening.
Q: Can you help me with concerns about Low Testosterone (Low T)?
A: Yes. We can perform necessary blood tests to check your levels, assess your symptoms, rule out other causes of fatigue, and discuss safe and effective treatment options, if appropriate.
