What is men’s health?
Aging, unhealthy habits, and genetic factors influence men’s health, a field of medicine that focuses on treating and preventing health issues more prevalent in men, such as:
- Enlarged prostate
- Testicular cancer
- Low testosterone
- Cardiovascular disease
- Erectile dysfunction (ED)
Elevate Functional Medicine offers men’s health services that include diagnostic testing, customized treatment plans, and preventive screenings.
The skilled specialists take a whole-person approach to addressing men’s health challenges. They combine traditional and functional medicine strategies to address underlying medical issues and lower risk factors for chronic disease.
When should I schedule a men’s health consultation?
Schedule a men’s health consultation at Elevate Wellness through Elevate Functional Medicine if it’s been more than a year since your last health exam or if you need help managing existing health issues.
You can also book an appointment if you experience men’s health issues like:
- Low energy
- Weight gain
- Loss of muscle mass
- Painful urination or weak urine stream
- Difficulties getting or keeping an erection
- Anxiety, depression, or other mental health issues
Elevate Wellness also offers preventive screenings for men at increased risk for cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and other chronic conditions because of their age, genetic background, and lifestyle.
What can I expect during my first men’s health appointment?
During your initial men’s health visit, the Elevate Functional Medicine providers review your personal and family medical histories and any symptoms you have. They prioritize no-rush appointments, so you have time to ask questions about your health.
A physical exam is also included in your first appointment. Your specialist assesses your blood pressure, weight, joint flexibility, and muscle strength. They may also request blood work to check for signs of inflammation, infection, and elevated cholesterol or blood glucose levels.
Your first men’s health visit is also a great time to get updates to immunizations that protect against contagious diseases like the seasonal flu and pneumonia.
If you have issues that affect your physical, mental, or sexual wellness, the providers discuss your treatment options. They also offer guidance to improve your health, such as exercise recommendations, nutritional counseling, and stress management practices.
