Men’s health issues are often swept under the rug until they become serious and life-altering. However, this doesn’t have be the case. Men’s health problems are completely normal, and there are treatments and management techniques available to bring you relief and the results you want.
When you have a men’s health issue, the best place to go is a urology clinic. Urology clinics are run by urologists, who are experts in men’s health and urological health issues. Urologists often treat men’s health issues that may be difficult to talk about, and these conditions are wide-ranging. Below are a few of the most common conditions that a urology clinic can treat.
Prostate Cancer
Though requiring a multidisciplinary approach, a urologist is your first point of contact when you begin to show symptoms of prostate cancer. It is also likely that a urologist will be the first to identify signs of prostate cancer during a prostate exam. From there, they can begin to coordinate your care and treatment with other specialists. If someone in your family was diagnosed with prostate cancer, a urologist can be your ally in maintaining good prostate health (like addressing an enlarged prostate) and actively reducing your risk of developing prostate cancer.
Infertility
One in three couples that have fertility issues due to the male partner being infertile. Many people think infertility is a permanent issue that cannot be fixed, but nothing could be farther from the truth. In many cases, men’s infertility is a treatable problem. Men over the age of 40 produce less testosterone, which can affect fertility. There are also a host of other factors that affect male fertility. Urologists can help male patients with fertility issues through a myriad of treatments, lifestyle changes, therapies, and more.
Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction (ED) becomes a more common occurrence in men over the age of 60, although men can begin experiencing it as early as in their 30s. ED refers to the inability to get and maintain erections sufficient enough for sex. There are many factors that can cause or exasperate ED symptoms, such as stress, diabetes, heart problems, obesity, and much more. Urologists can help you make lifestyle changes and use the right medications, treatments, and therapies to reduce your ED symptoms.
Peyronie’s Disease
Peyronie’s disease refers to a condition in which plaque formation causes the penis to bend sideways. This can negatively impact your confidence, sexual life, and more. Urologists can diagnose and treat Peyronie’s disease through nonsurgical and surgical methods.
