Men's Health Q & A
What is men’s health?
Men’s health refers to the very specific health needs that are unique to your gender. Men are less likely to go to the doctor than women but are more likely to engage in behavior that increases the risk of health issues, such as smoking and drinking. You’re also at greater risk of dying from chronic health conditions, such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.
Dr. Lee and his team at Woodstock Family Practice & Urgent Care understand your specific health needs, including conditions that affect only your gender, such as ED and low testosterone, and provide up-to-date, evidence-based medicine so you get the most effective treatment.
What can I expect during a men’s health exam?
Dr. Lee and his team at Woodstock Family Practice & Urgent Care provide individualized care for each patient, so your annual exam is unique to your very specific health needs. However, you can expect a thorough physical examination, review of your medical history, and a discussion of your health concerns.
Depending on your age, Dr. Lee may recommend specific health screenings for conditions that commonly affect men, such as diabetes, heart disease, colorectal cancer, or prostate cancer. Woodstock Family Practice & Urgent Care is a full-service medical facility and offers on-site diagnostic testing, so there’s no need to go to another facility for many of the specialized tests Dr. Lee may request.
What are health concerns for men?
Dr. Lee is a men’s health expert and provides the most up-to-date, evidence-based treatment for conditions that concern men. Some of the most common include:
ED
ED (erectile dysfunction) is the inability to sustain an erection long enough for sexual intercourse and is a common concern for men. When you come in because of ED, Dr. Lee works with you to find the underlying cause of your ED, so you get the most targeted treatment.
Low testosterone
As you get older, your testosterone levels decrease, and this can lead to a number of symptoms, including loss of muscle mass, low libido, and depression. Dr. Lee can test your testosterone levels and restore hormone balance using bioidentical hormone therapy, which is a more natural hormone replacement option.
Weight management
Nearly 70% of adult men in Georgia are overweight or obese. If you’re struggling to lose weight, Dr. Lee can help with his physician-supervised program geared towards your very specific health needs.
Staying on top of your health should be a top priority. To schedule a visit with a team of caring medical professionals, call Woodstock Family Practice & Urgent Care today, or book an appointment online.
