What is Men’s Health?

Men’s Health is a specialized area of primary care that focuses on the unique physiological and anatomical needs of men. It involves providing age-appropriate preventive screenings, addressing reproductive and sexual health concerns, managing cardiovascular and metabolic health, and diagnosing conditions common in men, such as prostate issues and low testosterone. Our approach is to keep men healthy, functional, and active throughout their lives.

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.
