Sexual Health
Low Testosterone
Testosterone is a hormone mainly produced in males, affecting their appearance, sexual development, and drive throughout the course of their life. The production of testosterone can be seen physically in men’s body hair as well as their muscle and bone mass. Signs and symptoms may include erectile dysfunction, low sex drive, hair loss, fatigue, loss of muscle mass, and mood changes.
Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile Dysfunction, also known as ED, occurs when men have trouble getting or keeping an erection during sexual intercourse. ED happens to most men, typically at the age of 40. Men can get Erectile Dysfunction from medical and psychological causes such as poor blood flow to the penis, prescription drugs, alcohol, depression, stress, and performance anxiety.
Peyronie's Disease
When scar tissue develops under the skin of the penis due to trauma or minor injury, Peyronie’s disease may occur. As the scar tissue forms the penis may become bent or indented during an erection, which can cause increased pain.
Penile Implant
A penile implant is a device that is placed into a man’s body and is designed to help him get an erection. This device is prescribed by a physician for men who are suffering from erectile dysfunction.
Male Infertility
Vasectomy
A vasectomy is a form of birth control for men that is done surgically, simply closing off the tubes that deliver sperm from the testes. This procedure is quick, taking about 15-30 minutes to complete. Recovery time is low and ejaculation will proceed as normal during sexual intercourse without sperm. While a vasectomy is a safe and popular option, it is intended to be permanent and is encouraged to be decided with confidence from both you and your spouse.
Male Urinary Issues
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, or BPH, is a condition in which the prostate enlarges as men get older. Over 70% of men in their 60s have BPH symptoms. While BPH is a benign condition and unrelated to prostate cancer, it can greatly affect a man’s quality of life.
Kidney Stones
When high levels of certain minerals such as uric acid or calcium gather in your urine, kidney stones may develop over time in the urinary tract. Depending on the size of the stone, they may cause pain, bleeding or an infection. While there is no single cause, kidney stones are more likely to develop when minerals are not correctly diluted by the urine. Additionally, they can also be formed from a urinary tract infection.
Prostate Health
The prostate is part of the male reproductive system that produces seminal fluid to combine with the sperm, creating semen. Usually the size of a walnut, the prostate can be located under the bladder and in front of the rectum, surrounding part of the urethra. As men age, the prostate can enlarge, leading to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or in worse cases, prostate cancer. If detected early, prostate cancer is treatable, so it’s essential to have your prostate checked regularly.
Bladder Cancer
A common, yet treatable cancer for middle-aged men and women, bladder cancer tends to start in the cells that line the bladder, growing abnormally and then eventually forming tumors.
