Men's Health

What is men’s health?

Men’s health care services diagnose and treat conditions relating to the male reproductive system. Common problems include:

Erectile dysfunction (ED)

Your penis needs to harden properly and stay erect for successful sexual intercourse. Sometimes, men find it hard to get an erection or lose it too soon. ED can be a significant problem if it occurs frequently, affecting men’s self-esteem and potentially harming relationships.

Low testosterone

Testosterone is the sex hormone controlling male characteristics like muscle mass, body hair growth, sex drive (libido), and reproduction. Insufficient testosterone affects these characteristics, leading to weight gain, fatigue, and erectile dysfunction.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)

BPH is a common condition in later life where the prostate gland enlarges. The gland circles your urethra (the tube carrying urine from your bladder), so BPH can cause problems like incontinence, weak flow, urgency, and an inability to empty the bladder fully.

Prostate cancer

Prostate cancer causes similar symptoms to BPH. However, unlike BPH, which is a benign condition, prostate cancer is potentially life-threatening.

Testicular cancer

Testicular cancer is uncommon but could have devastating consequences unless treated early.

Men’s health also covers problems that are common in men but affect women too, such as:

• Heart disease
• Diabetes 
• High cholesterol
• Colorectal cancer
• High blood pressure
• Weight problems
• Arthritis
• Depression and anxiety
• Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)

What happens at my men’s health exam?

A men’s health exam is like a routine annual physical. Your provider checks your vital signs, weighs you, reviews your medical history, discusses your lifestyle habits, and takes blood and urine for lab testing. 

A men’s health exam may also include procedures to detect signs of BPH, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer. Your provider recommends treatments or further procedures based on findings and factors like your age and family history.
