Questions about Men's Health Concerns
Men's health care includes a range of services, such as routine checkups, prostate and testicular exams, screenings for conditions like high blood pressure and cholesterol, and diagnosis of acute issues like urinary tract infections (UTIs) or erectile dysfunction.
Some key warning signs include fatigue, unexplained weight changes, difficulty sleeping, low libido, persistent pain, and changes in mood. Regular check-ups and a healthy lifestyle can help address potential issues early.
Recommended screenings include:
- Blood pressure & cholesterol tests (for heart health)
- Prostate exam & PSA test (for prostate health)
- Diabetes screening
- Colorectal cancer screening (starting at age 45-50)
- Testosterone level check (if experiencing fatigue or low libido)
Regular exercise, a balanced diet, good sleep habits, and stress management techniques (such as mindfulness or therapy) can improve mental well-being. It's also important to talk openly about mental health and seek professional support when needed.
