Men’s Health Week- Keeping Boys and Men Healthy

Why Men’s Health?

A boy born in Australia in 2010 has a life expectancy of 78.0 years while a baby girl born at the same time could expect to live to 82.3 years old. Right from the start, boys suffer more illness, more accidents and die earlier than their females.

Men take their own lives at four times the rate of women (that’s five men a day, on average).

Men’s Health Week has a direct focus on the health impacts of men’s and boys’ environments.

It serves to ask two questions:

  • What factors in men’s and boy’s environments contribute to the status of male health as indicated in the table above?
  • How can we turn that around and create positive environments in men’s and boy’s lives?

Our experienced doctors offer a wide range of men’s health services for all men.

Our men’s health checks may include:

  • screening for cancer such as bowel, prostate or skin
  • sexual health advice
  • comprehensive cardiovascular assessment (assessing heart disease risk)
  • erectile dysfunction treatment
  • asthma care
  • management of mental health issues such anxiety or depression
  • preventative health such as screening for risk factors of diabetes, high cholesterol and cardiovascular disease
