What is men’s health?

Men’s health covers all aspects of male well-being, two essential parts of which are sexual function and fertility.

For many men, sexual health is a significant part of their overall well-being. Whether you’re looking to start a family, wish to prevent sexual infection or disease, or feel self-conscious about your body, talking to a medical professional can reassure you and allow any problems to receive attention before they get worse.

The I & B Medical Associates team have years of experience helping patients maintain sexual and reproductive health.

What are common factors that affect men’s health?

While everyone’s body differs, some sexual health and reproductive concerns are common to many.

Erectile dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the inability to achieve and maintain an erection sufficient to engage in sexual activity. It’s one of the most common sexual health problems. Although ED increases as you get older, it can show up at any age and for several reasons, including stress and illness.

Peyronie’s disease

Peyronie’s disease is curvature or shortening of the penis because of scarring commonly caused by damage suffered during sexual activity. The curvature is severe enough to interfere with sexual activity in some cases.

Premature ejaculation

Premature ejaculation (PE) happens when a man ejaculates significantly sooner than he wishes, usually not long after sexual arousal. Some people experience PE from when they first engage in sexual activity. For others, PE starts later.

Low testosterone

Testosterone (T) is the male hormone responsible for sperm production and male sexual development and function. Your testosterone levels naturally decline with age, but for some, low T-levels are caused by some medication, illness, and injury.

The I & B Medical Associates team offers men’s health assessments and creates individualized treatment programs to support and maintain sexual and reproductive health.

How often should I have a men’s health check?

Your risk of sexual and reproductive health problems increases as you get older. That’s why the I & B Medical Associates team recommend a yearly physical exam once you turn 50.

Before then, most men need a physical exam once every 3 to 5 years, although this varies depending on your personal circumstances. Your provider will tell you what’s most suitable for you.
