At Loch Street Medical Centre we provide a range of men’s health services.
Did you know that men in Australia have a life expectancy of 81 years, while women can expect to live to 85? Or that the majority of male deaths are caused by accidents, cancers, and heart disease? Or that men take their own lives at three times the rate of women? Yet despite this, men attend doctors less frequently than women. We believe it is vital for men in Australia to change their relationship with their wellbeing, and we encourage men to make an appointment to discuss their health with one of our doctors today. Our doctors believe prevention is crucial to improve men’s health outcomes and they will guide you for recommended screening, health checks, and lifestyle changes.
Services we offer for men include:
- Cancer screening e.g. prostate, bowel
- Mental health services
- Sexual health
- Preventive health checks e.g. cardiovascular risk assessment, 45-49 year old health check, 40-45 year old diabetic risk assessment
- Chronic disease management
- Immunisation
- STI screening (every person who is sexually active from age 19 – 30 is advised to have chlamydia screening test once a year)
- Joint injections for osteoarthritis, degenerative knee disease, bursitis, tendonitis, tendinopathy
