Which conditions specifically affect men’s health?

Men can experience a variety of health issues that are gender-specific, especially with age. While men are also at a higher risk for some chronic conditions than women, some conditions affect men only. 

The team at Dr. Joe DX can evaluate sexual dysfunction and other symptoms that may be linked to an underlying hormone imbalance, specifically low testosterone (“low T”). Low testosterone is a condition that can affect men with age or can come from:

• Testicular injuries
• Anabolic steroid use
• Chemotherapy or radiation therapy
• Genetic syndromes
• Mismanaged diabetes
• Alcohol use disorder
• Certain medications
• Liver or kidney conditions

The team at Dr. Joe DX can make a diagnosis with a blood test and may be able to determine an underlying cause if you have low testosterone. 

When might I need men’s health services?

The team at Dr. Joe DX encourages you to schedule an appointment if you experience issues that are specific to men’s health or symptoms that might indicate an underlying men’s health condition, such as low testosterone. 

Some symptoms you might experience include:

• Erectile dysfunction
• Premature ejaculation
• Shrinking testicles
• Male infertility
• Gynecomastia (enlarged breast tissue)
• Low sex drive
• Enlarged prostate

You might experience symptoms that you don’t initially associate with men’s health concerns, including loss of muscle mass, weight gain, depression, or memory problems. The team at Dr. Joe DX uses physical exams, blood tests, and other diagnostic strategies to evaluate your health based on your symptoms. 

Which treatments are available for men’s health?

Dr. Joe DX provides treatment on a case-by-case basis for common men’s health concerns. If the team finds that you have low testosterone based on the results of a hormone blood test, they may prescribe testosterone replacement therapy. This is a form of hormone replacement therapy that replenishes your testosterone to alleviate symptoms that come from low T. 

Depending on your main men’s health concerns and underlying causes, the team might also have other recommendations. After evaluating you, they might recommend lowering your alcohol use, optimizing your diet, and taking other steps to improve your overall health and sexual function.
