Men’s Health Q & A

How does a routine physical promote men’s health?

The best way to protect yourself from chronic disease is to catch it at an early stage while you still have time to begin treatment and prevent it from becoming a serious problem. The only way to find subtle, early signs of disease is with an annual physical.

During your physical, Dr. Pabis reviews your medical history, checks your vitals (weight, blood pressure, heart rate), does blood work to screen for problems like high cholesterol and diabetes, and performs a complete physical exam.

You can also get immunizations as recommended for your age and health or shots needed if you plan to travel out of the country.

Your men’s health checkup may also include screening for:

  • Testicular and prostate cancer
  • Sexually transmitted diseases
  • Heart disease
  • Diabetes
  • Skin cancer
  • Hernias

Dr. Pabis may check for prostate cancer by drawing your blood for a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test. At Matt Pabis, MD, you can also get a diagnostic ultrasound, which gives Dr. Pabis the ability to evaluate your bladder, prostate gland, kidneys, and bowel.

Undergoing ultrasound to screen for an abdominal aortic aneurysm is recommended for men between the ages of 65 and 75 who have ever smoked in their lifetime.

What other areas of men’s health receive treatment?

As a highly experienced internist and general practitioner, Dr. Pabis is well qualified to diagnose and treat the full scope of health conditions in men.

Some of the most common men’s health issues Dr. Pabis treats are:

Low testosterone and erectile dysfunction

Your levels of testosterone naturally decline by about 1% a year after the age of 30 or 40. Low testosterone also increases your risk for osteoporosis and causes:

  • Weight gain
  • Low sex drive
  • Fewer spontaneous erections
  • Loss of muscle mass and strength
  • Insomnia
  • Fatigue
  • Sexual dysfunction

Dr. Pabis performs testosterone testing to determine if your levels are low and then provides hormone replacement to restore normal levels.

Mental health

Low levels of testosterone can lead to memory problems, lack of motivation, and emotional problems such as depression. Whether they’re related to hormone imbalances or intense daily stress and anxiety, Dr. Pabis can help you deal with mental health concerns.

Age-related changes

Even if you stay in good shape, your body changes as you get older. Dr. Pabis may screen your reflexes, balance, and joint movement and then develop a treatment plan to restore your strength and keep you active.
