What is men’s health?

Men’s health provides all-inclusive medical care to people with male reproductive organs. 

It’s vital to enroll in men’s health, regardless of your age or lifestyle. That’s because you might have an underlying medical issue and not realize it. Even if you eat healthily, exercise regularly, and don’t smoke, conditions like high cholesterol, depression, insomnia, fatigue, or lack of sexual potency may arise.

Regular visits to The Higher Care Clinic, can catch these and other issues early on and prevent them from worsening.

What services does men’s health provide?

The Higher Care Clinic (Thc2) offers various men’s health services, including:

What happens during a testosterone replacement therapy visit?

At The Higher Care Clinic, a  testosterone replacement therapy visit begins with a review of your health charts and a discussion of the symptoms you’re experiencing. Your provider also asks about your lifestyle, including if you use tobacco or drink alcohol, how often you exercise, and the type of foods you eat. 

Next, your provider completes a physical exam and orders lab tests, including bloodwork. Analyzing your body fluids can alert your provider to underlying issues, like hormone imbalances, vitamin deficiencies, or illnesses.

After reviewing the results of your tests, The Higher Care Clinic (Thc2) determines the type of therapy that will most benefit you and develops a custom treatment plan.

Testosterone replacement therapy

Low testosterone increases your risk of erectile dysfunction, low muscle mass, fatigue, and mood swings. Testosterone replacement therapies use intramuscular injectionsto restore your body to balance and relieve uncomfortable symptoms.

Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) restores your testosterone levels to balance. After the age of 30, a man’s testosterone production begins slowly declining. TRT uses implantable pellets to relieve uncomfortable symptoms like erectile dysfunction, low libido, and fatigue.

During treatment, you visit The Higher Care Clinic (Thc2) for routine checkups. At each visit, your provider orders bloodwork to ensure your hormones are at optimal levels.

How frequently should I schedule a men’s health exam?

The Higher Care Clinic (Thc2) recommends all men 18 and older schedule a men’s health exam once a year or sooner. That’s especially true if you have a family history of chronic conditions like high blood pressure (hypertension), diabetes, or high cholesterol. Regular screenings can catch these and other issues when they respond best to treatment.
