Men's Health Specialist

What is men’s health?

Men’s health refers to the very special health needs and concerns that affect men. While men and women often develop many of the same health issues, some diseases may cause different symptoms and long-term effects in men than women.

The healthcare professionals at Low Testosterone & Weight Loss Center specialize in men’s health and provide you with the care you need to get to and maintain good health. Your visit to the office is nothing like what you would expect when you go to your usual primary care physician. The team wants nothing more than for you to get back to being you.

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

The team at Low Testosterone & Weight Loss Center provide comprehensive examinations when you come in for a visit. Your exam is designed to meet your specific needs and your experience may be different from another patient.

However, you can expect your specialist to review your medical and medication history, as well as your symptoms and health concerns, if any. Your specialist also conducts a comprehensive physical exam to assess your health, along with specific health screenings.

After your exam, your specialist creates a personalized treatment plan for you that may include diet and lifestyle modifications, as well as hormone replacement therapy, if needed.

What types of screenings do men need?

The specialists at Low Testosterone & Weight Loss Center know better than anyone the very specific health concerns men face and offer a number of health screenings to assess your risk.

Some of the health screenings available include:

Cardiac health screening

Cardiac disease is the number-one killer of men in the United States. To assess heart health, the specialists at Low Testosterone & Weight Loss Center test your blood lipid levels and monitor your blood pressure.

Gastrointestinal screening

To assess your colon health, your specialist may recommend a colon cancer screen. Most men should begin gastrointestinal screening by age 50.

Thyroid and hormone screening

Your hormone levels may begin to fluctuate as you get older and cause many symptoms, from fatigue to low libido. Your specialist can check your hormone levels with a blood test.

Cancer screening

The specialists also screen for cancers that affect men, specifically prostate and testicular cancer.

The specialists also provide a special screening test for vitamin deficiencies.
