What is men’s health?

Men’s health focuses on conditions common in men, especially as they get older. These conditions can result because of lifestyle choices, environmental factors, or genetics. 

Conditions like heart disease and prostate cancer can become chronic and require ongoing medical care to prevent complications, including premature death. 

St. Mary’s Family Clinic offers comprehensive men’s health services. The practice takes an integrative and holistic approach to care to reduce your risk factors for certain diseases and boost your overall health.

What conditions does men’s health address?

Men’s health at St. Mary’s Family Clinic addresses a range of conditions that affect a man’s longevity or well-being, including:

• Prostate cancer
• Colon cancer
• Heart disease
• Hypertension
• Obesity
• Diabetes
• Low testosterone
• Erectile dysfunction
• Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)

You should schedule a diagnostic evaluation at St. Mary’s Family Clinic if you’re experiencing changes in your physical, mental, or sexual health. Diagnostic testing services are available to identify the underlying cause of your issues.

St. Mary’s Family Clinic also recommends having routine screenings for colon and other cancers, heart disease, and other chronic diseases before you start having symptoms. Screenings are also available to identify mental health conditions like anxiety and depression.

If you want to minimize age-related skin changes like frown lines and wrinkles, St. Mary’s Family Clinic offers Botox® and popular dermal fillers.

What can I expect during a men’s health visit?

During your men’s health visit at St. Mary’s Family Clinic, you can expect to undergo a comprehensive physical exam. Your provider may also request lab services to assess your testosterone levels, glucose, or cholesterol. If you have risk factors for colon or prostate cancer, you may need additional screenings to confirm or rule out the presence of cancer.

If tests reveal that you have low testosterone or if you experience erectile dysfunction, you may benefit from testosterone replacement therapy. Supplemental testosterone can decrease fatigue, increase fat loss, slow muscle loss, and increase your libido.

In addition to your treatment plan, St. Mary’s Family Clinic provides resources to maximize your overall health and boost your vitality. Your provider can suggest ways to improve your nutrition, incorporate more exercise into your life, and make other lifestyle changes that support your longevity.

A low-cost monthly subscription plan is available for those without insurance. It covers unlimited sick visits and an annual wellness exam, plus necessary lab work per year.
