Men’s Health Clinic Perth

Men’s overall health and wellbeing is a priority at our medical clinic. It’s important to ensure you receive regular general health checks. Poor overall health can contribute to a range of ongoing conditions, including sexual dysfunction issues, cardiovascular disease and more. Regular general and cardiovascular health checks will ensure any potential concerns are dealt with as soon as possible.

A prostate cancer screening test is essential in detecting potential abnormalities and tumours in the prostate gland. The test is a precautionary measure for men’s general and sexual health and is recommended for those with a family history of prostate cancer or those aged 50-69 years old. Commonly, the prostate screening test is conducted as a blood test to track PSA levels. If required, a prostate biopsy may be recommended for abnormal test results.

If you have any concerns surrounding prostate cancer and would like to complete a screening test, the experienced men’s health GPs at our Perth clinic can assist you with the process.

In their lifetime, on average one in eight men will experience depression and one in five will experience anxiety. Mental health plays an equally vital role in men’s wellbeing as his physical health does. It is essential to foster a positive and safe environment to speak about any life events or circumstances that may be impacting on your mental health. It is also critical to take notice of any signs of mental illness to ensure it is taken care of with consideration and sensitivity.

At Northbridge Medical Centre, our team of qualified general practitioners have a wealth of experience in areas of men’s mental health. If you feel you or someone you love needs support, get in touch with us today.

Men may experience a range of sexual dysfunction issues throughout their lifetime. They can often impact on one’s confidence and sexual performance. Most sexual health problems can be treated with a personalised and tailored approach and the experienced men’s health GPs at Northbridge Medical will handle your situation with discretion and care.

Common sexual health problems include:

• Erectile Dysfunction – This often refers to the inability to attain or maintain an erection. We will assess biological and lifestyle factors that may be contributing to this issue and provide the appropriate treatment.
• Premature Ejaculation – This is described as the inability to delay ejaculation to beyond a short period of time (usually 60 seconds) after penetration. This condition can occur from initial sexual experiences or occur later in life as a result of an illness, medication or psychological disturbance.
• Low Sex Drive – This is when a lack of interest in sex is present. While libido naturally fluctuates, persistent low sex drive can be an indicator of other issues. Hormone deficiencies, mental health conditions or physical illness can all contribute. Your GP will conduct a thorough examination to assess the root cause and work with you to implement an appropriate treatment.

Drug and alcohol abuse can affect both men and women, however, statistics have shown that 11.5% of men are likely to develop drug and alcohol dependency disorders compared to 6.4% of women. Substance abuse may result in or be a result of deeper mental health conditions, namely depression.

Alcohol or drug addiction can present itself in many ways and it’s important that the individual visits a trained health professional to receive a tailored assessment to ensure the best course of treatment is recommended.

No matter what you’re going through, the reputable and considerate doctors at Northbridge Medical can help you. Don’t delay getting support today.
