What is men’s health care?

Men’s health is a branch of medicine focused on caring for men and preventing, diagnosing, and treating numerous medical conditions that affect them. Some conditions are exclusive to men, while others affect them at higher rates than women. 

Men’s health also includes preventive care to lower disease risks and prevent various complications. Dr. DiStefano often recommends nutrition and fitness modifications to help you stay healthy and can provide screenings to detect abnormalities and diseases early when they’re easier to treat but harder to detect on your own.

Preventive care checkups are a key part of your membership at Montclair Concierge Medicine, which Dr. DiStefano encourages you to book annually. 

What are some common men’s health concerns?

Men are at risk of many health conditions that can impact their quality of life or even shorten their lifespans. At Montclair Concierge Medicine, Dr. DiStefano can talk to you about your risk factors for:

• Depression
• Low testosterone and hormone imbalance
• High blood pressure
• High cholesterol
• Heart disease
• Prostate cancer 
• Enlarged prostate
• Diabetes
• Colon cancer
• Irritable bowel syndrome
  

Prostate conditions affect men exclusively.

Due to age-related changes, the levels of the male reproductive hormone, testosterone, can decline over time. Since testosterone plays many roles in your body, low testosterone can cause an array of issues, such as erectile dysfunction, fatigue, weight gain, loss of muscle mass, and other symptoms and complications.

How can I improve my health with men’s health services?

The right way to treat men’s health problems depends on the specific condition, its severity, and your current health. Dr. DiStefano specializes in personalized care that addresses your own specific needs and risks. She can treat you or provide preventive care. 

Dr. DiStefano’s recommendations might include:

• Medications
• Diet changes
• Increased exercise
• Smoking cessation
• Vitamins and supplements
• Hormone replacement therapy
  
  

Hormone replacement therapy is a personalized service that treats low testosterone. If Dr. DiStefano recommends it for you, she monitors you throughout treatment to ensure you don’t experience any concerning side effects. 

Montclair Concierge Medicine can address even the most sensitive or embarrassing men’s health issues so you can regain the sexual vitality and general wellness you deserve.
