When should I schedule a men’s health appointment?

Men’s health services are also available to diagnose and treat health issues that impact a man’s physical, mental, and reproductive well-being, such as:

• Stroke
• Heart disease
• Erectile dysfunction
• Low testosterone (low-T)
• High blood pressure (hypertension)
• Benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate)

Kashaelyn also offers lab work to screen for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) like gonorrhea and herpes that develop after unprotected sex.

What are the benefits of men’s health?

The men’s health care available at LTH Family Medicine focuses on individual men’s health needs as they navigate different stages of adult life.

The preventive health services Kashaelyn offers for adult men of all ages can significantly reduce your risk for heart disease and stroke and prevent ongoing complications that can lead to disability and premature death.

Through routine screenings, Kashaelyn can identify disease in the earliest stages so you can get the treatment you need before you have symptoms. She can recommend lifestyle changes and diet improvements you can make to optimize your overall health and well-being.

Personalized weight loss programs are also available to help men achieve and maintain a healthy body weight. Weight loss is an effective tool to reduce risk factors for heart disease and other obesity-related conditions.
