What should I expect during men’s health exams?

During men’s health exams at Your Wellness Sources, your provider offers the following:

Vital signs check

Specialists at Your Wellness Sources weigh you, assess your body mass index (BMI), and check your blood pressure, pulse, and other vital signs.

Medical history review

Your men’s health provider completes a medical history review by asking questions about your symptoms, lifestyle habits, family history of disease, medical history, and medication regimen.

Physical exam

During a men’s health exam, your specialist listens to your heartbeat and evaluates your breathing, reflexes, abdomen, and more. They offer prostate exams to screen for cancer and refer you to a specialist if necessary.

Diagnostic testing

Diagnostic tests your men’s health provider could recommend include blood tests, urine testing, bone scans, ultrasounds, or other diagnostic procedures. They also offer psychiatric evaluations to assess your mental health. 

Testosterone replacement therapy

If you have symptoms of low testosterone, such as thinning hair, fatigue, ED, weight gain, reduced libido, or lean muscle loss, testosterone replacement might be the solution for you. You may use injections, gels, creams, or subdermal pellets to increase testosterone in your body.

They provide mental health treatment plans, such as medication management, counseling, and addiction treatment.
