Men’s Health
Taking care of your health is essential at every stage of life. At our practice, we understand that men often face unique health challenges and may feel uncomfortable discussing certain issues. That’s why we provide a supportive, judgment-free environment to address your concerns and help you stay healthy.

Health Assessments
Regular health checks are the foundation of preventive care. Our GPs can assess your overall health, identify potential risks, and provide tailored advice to keep you in peak condition. Key areas we focus on include:
- Heart Health: Monitoring blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels to reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease.
- Weight Management: Helping you maintain a healthy weight through diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes.
- Mental Health: Screening for conditions like depression and anxiety, which can often go unnoticed in men.
Prostate Cancer Screening
Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men, but early detection can save lives. If you’re over 50 (or over 40 with a family history), talk to your GP about prostate cancer screening. We’ll discuss the benefits and risks of the PSA blood test and help you decide if it’s right for you.
Sexual Health
Sexual health is an important part of overall well-being. Whether you have concerns about performance, libido, or general sexual function, our GPs are here to help. We offer:
- Confidential Consultations: A safe space to discuss sensitive issues.
- Comprehensive Advice: Guidance on maintaining sexual health and addressing concerns.
Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) Check-Ups
STIs can affect anyone, regardless of age or relationship status. Regular check-ups are crucial for early detection and treatment. Our GPs provide confidential testing and advice to ensure you stay healthy and informed.
Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common issue that can affect men of all ages. It’s often a sign of underlying health conditions, such as heart disease or diabetes. Our GPs can help identify the cause and recommend effective treatments, including lifestyle changes, medications, or specialist referrals.
Common Men’s Health Concerns
Heart Health
Heart disease is a leading cause of death among men, but it’s largely preventable. Key steps to protect your heart include:
- Regular Check-Ups: Monitoring blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels.
- Healthy Lifestyle: Eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, quitting smoking, and limiting alcohol.
- Early Intervention: Addressing risk factors like high blood pressure or diabetes before they become serious.
Fatigue
Feeling constantly tired? Fatigue can have many causes, from lifestyle factors to medical conditions like sleep apnoea or low testosterone. Our GPs will work with you to identify the root cause and develop a treatment plan to boost your energy levels.
Depression
Depression is a common but often overlooked issue in men. Symptoms may include irritability, fatigue, loss of interest in hobbies, or changes in sleep patterns. Our GPs provide:
- Mental Health Screenings: To identify and address depression early.
- Treatment Options: Including therapy, medication, and lifestyle changes.
- Supportive Care: Helping you navigate the challenges of mental health in a safe, understanding environment.
