At Highland Primary Care, we understand the unique healthcare needs of men and are dedicated to providing comprehensive men's health services. Our goal is to support men in maintaining their health, vitality, and well-being throughout every stage of life.
Importance of Men’s Health
Men’s health encompasses a range of issues specific to male biology and physiology, including prostate health, testosterone levels, and screening for conditions that are more common or serious in men. Addressing these concerns through preventive care, early detection, and treatment is essential for promoting optimal health and longevity.
Our Men’s Health Services
Prostate Health
The prostate is a small gland located below the bladder that plays a key role in male reproductive health. Our men’s health services include:
- Prostate Cancer Screening: We offer prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood tests and digital rectal exams to screen for prostate cancer, the most common cancer among men (excluding skin cancer). Early detection is crucial for successful treatment and improved outcomes.
- Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) Management: We provide diagnosis and treatment for BPH, a common condition characterized by an enlarged prostate gland that can cause urinary symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and difficulty urinating.
Testosterone Management
Testosterone is a hormone that plays a vital role in male development, reproductive health, and overall well-being. Our men’s health services include:
- Testosterone Level Testing: We offer testosterone level testing to evaluate hormone levels and assess for conditions such as hypogonadism (low testosterone) or other hormonal imbalances.
- Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT): For men with clinically low testosterone levels, we may recommend TRT to restore hormone balance and alleviate symptoms such as fatigue, low libido, erectile dysfunction, and decreased muscle mass.
Screening for Men’s Health Conditions
Certain health conditions are more common or serious in men and may require specialized screening and management. Our men’s health services include:
- Cardiovascular Health Screening: We offer screening for cardiovascular risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and obesity, which are more prevalent in men and increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular conditions.
- Colon Cancer Screening: We recommend colon cancer screening, including colonoscopies and fecal occult blood tests (FOBT), to detect colorectal cancer, the third most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in men.
- Sexual Health Screening: We provide screening and treatment for sexual health concerns such as erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, and sexually transmitted infections (STIs), which can impact men’s physical and emotional well-being.
