Men’s Health
Our Men’s Health Clinic can help with a range of men’s health issues. We offer a confidential and supportive service where you will be able to discuss your health concerns freely.
Erectile dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction describes the situation where a man cannot achieve an erection adequate for sexual intercourse. Erectile dysfunction can affect men of all ages.
It is not a disease but rather a symptom of another problem, which is usually physical but can also be psychological, or a mix of the two.
There are some common causes for erectile dysfunction that can be addressed with lifestyle changes. Other causes can be treated with medications or injections.
Erectile dysfunction often develops slowly over a period of months or years with a gradual loss of function.
Blood flow issues associated with diabetes, high cholesterol, hypertension, cigarette smoking, obesity and heart disease are often involved.
A man’s sex drive can also be affected by stress at work, in a relationship or around financial issues, often leading to anxiety or depression.
Premature ejaculation
Premature ejaculation is uncontrolled ejaculation either before or shortly after sexual penetration. It can cause performance anxiety, which then exacerbates the issue.
There are various treatment options that we can discuss with you at our men’s health clinic.
STIs
Tests for Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) can be performed at our clinic and a wide range of treatment options are available for our patients.
Weight management
If you have weight issues we can offer help with personal nutrition and exercise advice to get you back to a healthy weight and keep you there.
Physical examinations
All men should have regular physical check ups to keep on top of any existing conditions and prevent any unnoticed ones from developing further.
Heart care
Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of death in Australia. It is estimated that cardiovascular disease kills one Australia every 12 minutes (Heart Foundation Australia).
It is important for men to have periodic tests to check the function of the heart and associated factors, and identify any areas of concerns as early as possible.
Various conditions such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes and obesity can negatively affect the heart but are often treatable.
Heart care starts with prevention.
