In Australia, males exhibit poorer health outcomes and a shorter life expectancy compared to females. Despite this, Australian general practitioners tend to attend to fewer male patients than female patients. Notably, six out of the ten most prevalent risk factors globally contributing to disease burden are more prevalent among men than women.
Addressing these risk factors through lifestyle and behavioural modifications can significantly mitigate their prevalence and impact. However, certain men’s health issues demand a more nuanced approach. Concerns might encompass conditions like prostate and testicular cancer, infertility, erectile dysfunction, as well as mental health issues like depression and anxiety.
At Childs Road Doctors, our doctors specialize in providing a comprehensive assessment of men’s health concerns. We aim to equip men with insights into preventive health measures, empowering them to adopt healthier lifestyles for a better future.
