Men's Health

What is men’s health care?

Women grow up familiar with the dedicated care they need. By the time they reach adulthood, most already have a women’s health-focused primary care provider or gynecologist that they see regularly. 

Men, on the other hand, aren’t as frequently encouraged to build a relationship with a health care provider. This is problematic because men benefit from regular health screenings and ongoing wellness support just as much as women. 

RescueMD offers specialized men’s health care to get you the right care for your specific health and wellness goals. The team’s goal is to give you convenient, comfortable screenings and treatments that keep you feeling your best. 

What are some common men’s health concerns?

Each person has unique health needs and risk factors. But all men are susceptible to certain health conditions. In the United States, the top five causes of death among adult men include:

• Heart disease
• Cancer
• Accidental injury
• Respiratory disease
• Stroke

Men are also vulnerable to certain conditions that affect their reproductive system. Testicular injury, testicular cancer, and prostate cancer can all affect your health. Unfortunately, many men are embarrassed to undergo testicular or prostate exams.

However, preventing these life-threatening medical conditions is possible. Early diagnosis and treatment are vital for protecting your health. That’s why it’s essential to visit RescueMD for routine health screenings.

What does men’s health care include?

Dr. Abebe tailors your men’s health care program to you. While it always includes an annual physical, your specific physical varies based on your wants and needs. If, for example, you have a family history of a specific condition, Dr. Abebe screens you for it at every physical. 

Your men’s health care physicals may include:

Testosterone Replacement Therapy

Testosterone replacement therapy, sometimes called TRT, seeks to supplement your natural testosterone production to restore optimal hormonal balance. RescueMD offers testosterone replacement therapy using injections and implanted pellets. 

Urological Concerns

“Urological concerns” is an umbrella term for several disorders and diseases that affect the urologic system, including the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. These conditions can impact sexual health and urinary function, so receiving treatment is crucial. 

STI Testing and Treatment 

STI testing and treatment is an internal medicine subspecialty focused on diagnosing and treating sexually transmitted infections (STIs). STIs are viral or bacterial infections spread through sexual intercourse. Anyone who is sexually active can get an STI, but they’re most common in folks who have two or more sexual partners and don’t practice safe sex.

Men’s Sick Visits

A men’s sick visit provides prompt care for illnesses and other medical conditions in men. Studies show men are less likely to visit the doctor than women and are more likely to experience poor health outcomes. Men’s sick visits try to prevent this by providing early diagnosis and treatment.

During your men’s health care appointment, Dr. Abebe may also complete:

• Blood pressure tests
• Cholesterol tests
• Diabetes screenings
• Colorectal screenings
• Lung cancer screenings
• Prostate cancer screenings
• Hepatitis B and C virus testing

While protecting your health by catching serious conditions early is an important part of your men’s health care, Dr. Abebe doesn’t stop there. He also offers treatments to help you feel your best through each season of life. 

With targeted care like testosterone replacement therapy and wellness coaching, Dr. Abebe works with you to defend against aging. His goal is to help you maintain your vitality throughout your life.
