June Is Men’s Health Month

June is National Men’s Health Month. On average, men are less likely than women to visit their physician, follow up on symptoms and risk factors, or get recommended screenings.

While many men hesitate to discuss erectile dysfunction and low testosterone, these issues have been linked to serious conditions like heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Addressing these important concerns can help find serious conditions when they are easiest to treat.

Ochsner’s Men’s Health Clinics offer same-day, concierge-style appointments specializing in these issues, providing access to multiple specialists in one location. For more information, click here.
