Men's Health Services

What is Men’s Health?

Men’s health refers to the overall physical, emotional, and social well-being of men at all stages of life. While men and women share many health issues, some conditions occur more often in men, while others affect them differently. Men are also more likely to experience chronic illness at an earlier age.


Key areas of men’s health include:

  • Sexual and reproductive health
  • Cardiovascular health (heart and blood vessels)
  • Mental health and wellbeing
  • Prevention and early detection of cancers (e.g., prostate, testicular, and bowel)
  • Lifestyle and chronic disease management


Common Men’s Health Concerns

Our clinic supports men with a wide range of health needs, including:

  • Prostate enlargement and prostate cancer screening
  • Erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, and sexual health issues
  • Mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, and stress
  • Sleep problems, including sleep apnoea, snoring, and insomnia
  • Cardiovascular health with blood pressure and cholesterol monitoring
  • Diabetes screening and chronic disease management
  • Obesity and weight management
  • Smoking cessation and alcohol moderation programs
  • Sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing, treatment, and prevention

Factors Affecting Men’s Health

Several factors may contribute to men’s increased risk of health problems:

  • Lifestyle: Poor diet, smoking, inactivity, and excess alcohol increase the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.
  • Stress: Chronic stress can trigger both mental health issues and physical conditions, such as high blood pressure.
  • Genetics: A family history of prostate cancer, heart disease, or other inherited conditions can raise risk.
  • Environment: Workplace exposures, toxins, and pollutants can impact long-term health.
  • Age: The likelihood of conditions such as prostate cancer, osteoporosis, and cardiovascular disease rises with age.
  • Social factors: Limited access to healthcare, isolation, or financial stress may worsen men’s health outcomes.


Preventative Men’s Health

Prevention is one of the most effective tools in men’s health. Early detection and regular check-ups help reduce the risk of serious illness and improve long-term well-being.


Our doctors provide:

  • Annual health assessments to keep you on track
  • Prostate checks (PSA blood test and digital rectal examination)
  • Cardiovascular risk assessment, including blood pressure, cholesterol, and heart checks
  • Diabetes screening from age 40 or earlier if risk factors are present
  • Bowel cancer screening through the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program from age 50
  • Bone density scans for osteoporosis in men over 65 or with risk factors
  • Vision and glaucoma checks every two years after age 45
  • Sexual health and STI screening for sexually active men


Mental Health and Well-being

Mental health is just as important as physical health, yet many men hesitate to seek help. Our clinic provides:

  • Mental health assessments to identify issues such as depression, anxiety, or stress
  • Mental health care plans to access psychologists and counsellors under Medicare
  • Lifestyle advice to support stress management, better sleep, and healthier routines
  • Support for relationship and family pressures that may affect men’s emotional well-being


Men are encouraged to talk openly about their mental health. Seeking support early can prevent problems from worsening and improve overall quality of life.


Sexual and Reproductive Health

Sexual health is an essential aspect of men’s wellbeing. We offer:

  • Erectile dysfunction management: Assessment of underlying causes such as diabetes, heart disease, or stress, with treatment options including medication, lifestyle support, or devices.
  • Premature ejaculation treatment: Medical or behavioural strategies tailored to individual needs.
  • Testicular cancer awareness: Education on self-checks and early detection.
  • Sexually transmitted infection (STI) screening: Blood and urine tests for chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis, HIV, hepatitis, and herpes.
  • Fertility advice: Guidance for men planning a family or concerned about reproductive health.


Lifestyle and Risk Reduction

Healthy daily habits are the foundation of good men’s health. Our GPs provide support with:

  • Diet and nutrition advice to reduce chronic disease risk
  • Exercise recommendations for heart, bone, and muscle health
  • Weight management programs with tailored guidance and support
  • Smoking cessation programs to reduce the risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease
  • Alcohol reduction strategies to improve long-term wellbeing
  • Sleep apnoea evaluation and management of sleep disorders such as snoring and insomnia

  • Prevent and manage chronic illness
  • Improve quality of life and lifespan
