June is Men's Health Month

​

June is Men’s Health Month, it is so important that men take care of their health.  The first thing to do is schedule an appointment to get an annual physical examination.  Please keep in mind that you will have to also get other physical examinations.  There are several different reasons why men should go to the doctor to make sure that they are okay in the following areas:

• Sexual and urinary dysfunction

• Prostate diseases (prostatitis, enlarged prostate, prostate cancer)

• Heart disease prevention

• Diabetes

• Erectile dysfunction

• Sleep disorders

• Low testosterone

• Mental health (anxiety, depression, substance abuse)

• Reproductive issues

• Bone health

 

Many of the major health risks that men face can be prevented with a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, a healthy diet, not smoking, stress reduction, and limited alcohol consumption. The earlier you get examinations, the better your chances are at combating any health issues.  Please men, go see your doctors!
