Men's Health Related Issues

Men face a number of unique health issues that are specific to their gender. Some common men's health issues include:

1. Prostate problems: As men age, they may experience prostate-related health problems, such as an enlarged prostate or prostate cancer.
2. Erectile dysfunction: This is the inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for sexual intercourse. It can be caused by physical, psychological, or a combination of both factors.
3. Low testosterone: Testosterone is a hormone that plays a key role in men's health. Low testosterone levels can cause symptoms such as decreased muscle mass, decreased sex drive, and fatigue.
4. Heart disease: Heart disease is a leading cause of death in men, and risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and smoking can increase the likelihood of developing this condition.
5. Mental health: Mental health issues, such as anxiety and depression, are common in men and can have a significant impact on quality of life.
6. Testicular cancer: Testicular cancer is a type of cancer that affects the testicles, and is most common in young and middle-aged men.
7. Alcohol and substance abuse: Substance abuse, including alcohol and drug abuse, is a common problem in men and can have serious health consequences.

It's important for men to be proactive about their health and seek medical care for any symptoms or concerns. Regular check-ups and preventive care can help men identify and address health problems early on, reducing the risk of serious complications.

If you have any concerns about your health, it's best to talk to your doctor. They can help you assess your risk for health problems and provide recommendations for maintaining good health.

When to Get Tested

Most men are tested for Men's Health panels and are usually advised to change their lifestyles, including diet, exercise habits, and stress levels, to see if such changes can improve health or  symptoms. Should those fail, a visit to your primary care provideror a specialist, typically results in a trial of treatments to address men's health concerns. If symptoms persist, and a diagnosis cannot be made, patients may wish to discuss diagnostic testing using the third party Lab for Men's Health Profile with Dr. Malhotra.

Make an appointment  to a consult with Dr. Nema Malhotra to confirm if testing is right for you and determine a holistic treatment plan.
