Men's Health

What is men’s health?

Men’s health care is an internal medicine subspecialty focused on diagnosing and treating health problems specific to people with male reproductive organs.

The male reproductive system contains organs that impact vital bodily functions. Routine screenings and exams can catch problems early to keep them from worsening.

How often should I schedule a men’s health screening?

Innovative Medical Group encourages all men 20 or older to schedule a men’s health screening at least once a year, even if they feel fine. 

Many chronic health problems, including high blood pressure (hypertension) and prostate cancer, develop slowly and present few symptoms at first. Regular checkups provide peace of mind and help you live a long, healthy life. 

What services does men’s health include?

Innovative Medical Group offers various men’s health services, including:

Prostate cancer screening

The prostate is a small, nut-shaped gland that produces seminal fluid, which transports and nourishes sperm. The prostate naturally enlarges with age; in some men, it turns cancerous. Routine prostate screenings help catch cancer early when it's most responsive to treatment.

Erectile dysfunction treatment

ED makes it difficult to get or keep erections long enough to have sex. Sometimes, it occurs because of an underlying health problem, like heart disease, but it can also result from anxiety or depression. 

Your provider can pinpoint the cause of your erectile dysfunction and make personalized treatment recommendations to restore your sex life. 

Low testosterone treatment

After 30, a man’s testosterone declines by about 1% annually. This drop in production increases the risk of various problems, including fatigue, low libido, and muscle loss. Innovative Medical Group offers various treatments for low T, including testosterone replacement therapy.

Chronic disease management

Men are more likely than women to develop chronic illnesses like heart disease and kidney disease. Chronic disease management helps preserve your health through prescription medication, lifestyle changes, and routine screenings.

How do I prepare for a men’s health screening?

A men’s health screening doesn’t require much, if any, preparation. Bring your health insurance card and a list of medications and supplements you take. Your provider might ask you to fast the night before your checkup if you need to undergo bloodwork or urinalysis.
