Men’s Health

Men face their own set of unique health needs. Studies have shown that on average men use healthcare services less than women. This happens for a number of reasons but the end result is that men’s health issues can sometimes feel forgotten. Furthermore, compared to women, men are more likely to suffer from heart disease, stroke, diabetes and depression.

Dr. Sampson’s Clinic covers all men’s health issues relating to topics that include:

• Heart disease
• High blood pressure
• Smoking cessation
• Nutrition and lifestyle
• Anxiety and depression

We also cover topics around sexual health:

• Erectile dysfunction
• Sexually transmitted infections (STI’s)

For older men, screening for conditions:

• Prostate cancer
• Colorectal cancer

Periodic wellness checks that monitor blood pressure, cholesterol levels and BMI are also recommended.

Many of the major health risks that men face can be prevented with a healthy lifestyle that includes regular exercise, a healthy diet, smoking cessation and minimal alcohol intake. Those needing guidance or advice on any of these issues can make an appointment to speak with one of our specialists.
