Our primary care doctors, some of the best NYC doctors, provide men’s health annual examinations tailored to meet your exact needs, which change throughout life. Our extensive men’s screening tests can include prostate evaluation and hormonal status to help you gain and maintain an optimal level of health. You should always discuss your symptom, screening recommendations, and treatment with your doctor.

Prostate Evaluation

Enlarged prostate gland
Enlarged prostate gland

If your medical history and family history indicate the need, NYC MD specialists can provide routine screening for prostate cancer. Tests include a digital rectal exam to detect if the prostate is enlarged or irregularly shaped. Blood tests can also measure the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level in your blood, as this is a protein produced by the prostate. An increased level of PSA can be one of the first signs of prostate cancer.

The PSA test is equally straightforward and is a blood test conducted in conjunction with other routine tests.

Hormone Replacement Therapy

The Effects Of Testosterone
The Effects Of Testosterone
As you age, it’s not unusual for testosterone levels to decrease, which occurs in nearly 20% of men aged 70. Testosterone levels gradually decline, usually about 1% each year after age 30 or 40. Hormone replacement therapy can help men with low testosterone levels, potentially reducing diabetes and heart disease risk. Hormone replacement therapy replaces the hormones lost, restoring levels, and reducing unwanted symptoms. Only your doctor can decide what the appropriate diagnosis and treatment plan is for you.

Low testosterone levels can cause unwanted symptoms such as:

  • Fatigue
  • Weight gain
  • Low sex drive
  • Low energy

Testosterone is an important hormone produced mainly in the testicles, and it helps to maintain:

  • Good muscle strength and mass
  • Bone density
  • Fat distribution
  • Sperm production
  • Sex drive
  • Facial and body hair
  • Red blood cell production

Sometimes low testosterone levels can change sleep patterns, causing insomnia. Low testosterone levels are also associated with metabolic syndrome that encompasses health problems such as elevated cholesterol, triglyceride, blood pressure, and blood sugar levels.

If you have signs of low testosterone, our physicians can provide a lab test. If testosterone levels are pretty low, we may recommend hormone replacement therapy, but we will discuss the treatment’s benefits and possible risks. For men with very low levels of testosterone, the benefits usually outweigh any potential risks.

However, specialists may advise men with borderline levels to use lifestyle modifications to increase energy levels, for example, by taking exercise regularly. It’s also helpful to make sure you have a balanced and nutritious diet. You should speak with your doctor to discuss an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan for you.
