Men’s Health
Men's health is often overlooked and can easily fall by the wayside, but this does not have to be the case. It is important for men to prioritize their physical and mental well-being, as it can affect many different aspects of their lives.
Neglecting your health can lead to serious consequences such as chronic illness, decreased life expectancy, and an overall decline in your quality of life. By taking steps to maintain good health, like receiving frequent check-ups with a healthcare professional, men can not only improve their current well-being, but also ensure better health in the future.

An annual wellness exam for men is a routine check-up that includes several health assessments to detect any potential health risks or diseases.
This exam can be helpful in maintaining good health and preventing more serious medical conditions from developing in the future. During an annual wellness exam, your provider will measure your blood pressure, check your cholesterol levels, perform a prostate cancer screening, and ask a series of questions to assess your overall health and wellbeing.
Early detection is key, and an annual wellness exam can help identify any issues before they progress into more serious health problems.
A prostate exam is a medical test used to evaluate the health of a man's prostate gland. The exam involves your provider inserting a gloved, lubricated finger into the rectum to feel for the size, shape, and texture of the prostate gland.
This test can help identify any abnormalities, such as enlarged or cancerous prostate glands, and is often recommended for men over the age of 50.
An STI screening for men is a medical test that checks for sexually transmitted infections. During the screening, your provider may ask about your sexual activity and the symptoms you may be experiencing. They may also perform a physical examination and collect samples for testing.
It is recommended that sexually active men undergo regular STI screenings, as many infections can be asymptomatic and may lead to serious health problems if left untreated. Getting screened for STIs is a crucial step in protecting not only yourself, but also your partners, from the spread of infections.
Immunizations are often associated with children, but the importance of vaccinations extends to adulthood as well. Men, in particular, should be aware of the immunizations available to them. These include vaccines for diseases like hepatitis A and B, influenza, HPV, pneumococcal infections, and tetanus.
While some of these diseases may seem uncommon or low risk, contracting them can have serious and long-lasting consequences.
