Men's Health

For many men, attending to their own health needs takes a backseat to obligations at work, at home, and in the community. When you partner with practitioners like Christine Falls, FNP-BC, and Alisha Marie Moore, CRNP, FNP-BC, of Northside Primary Care in Northport, Alabama, you have access to men’s health services that can help you stay healthy and function at peak levels. Book a visit online or over the phone today to get started. 

What is men’s health?

Men’s health is an area of medical practice focused on addressing male reproductive health. These visits also provide information and guidance on general health issues that affect many men, including heart disease, stroke, and depression. 

Improving your health and staying healthy is an ongoing process. When you partner with a highly skilled medical professional, you have a resource to turn to with any questions or concerns. 

Men’s health visits also provide the screenings you need for your age and overall health. Screening focuses on detecting areas of concern in the early stages when treatment is often most effective. 

What are some common men’s health needs?

Men’s health encompasses a number of different health needs. Some of the issues that often bring men in for men’s health visits include:

• Fatigue
• Brain fog
• Erectile dysfunction
• Urinary issues
• Loss of muscle mass
• Weight loss or gain
• Decreased sex drive

These are just a few of the concerns you might broach with your provider during a men’s health visit. Hormonal imbalance is a common issue among men in middle age and beyond. Prostate health is also a common area of focus, including screening to detect changes in these often-overlooked areas of health. 

How often should men come in for men’s health visits?

Most men benefit from coming in for annual men’s health visits. This timeline ensures that problems don’t have time to get out of control and allows you to connect with your practitioner to explore any health and wellness topics you’re interested in.

Thinking of adding supplements to your diet? Looking for ways to shed a few extra pounds? Hoping to improve your intimate connection with a partner? Men’s health visits are the right setting to find guidance and support. You should feel comfortable expressing any concerns or asking about any topics you’d like to explore in greater depth.

If hormone replacement therapy is part of your treatment plan, you may need to come in more frequently for office visits. Your practitioner tracks your hormone levels and adjusts therapy as part of the process, but the results are well worth the effort.
