At Level One Urgent Care, we provide comprehensive care for conditions related to men’s health, focusing on personalized and understanding treatment. Men can face various concerns related to their mental and physical well-being, which can affect their quality of life.
At Level One Urgent Care, our team offers specialized care for men’s health with knowledge, compassion, and a commitment to their holistic well-being. We ensure you receive advanced, detailed care tailored to your conditions in a world where the focus on health often seems generalized.
Men's health includes a broad range of physical, mental, and social well-being concerns that specifically affect men throughout their lives. Care for men goes beyond the mere absence of disease, focusing on optimizing overall health and quality of life.
Access to men’s healthcare is challenging due to a lack of awareness and barriers to treatment for male patients. At Level One Urgent Care, we strive to resolve the root cause of the problem rather than temporarily addressing symptoms while focusing on personalized care, education, support, and guidance for a healthy and fulfilled life.
Hypogonadism refers to low levels of testosterone, the primary male sex hormone. Although it can occur at any age, it's more common in older men.
The sex hormone (testosterone in men) is produced by sex glands called testes in men. Testosterone helps control secondary sex characteristics, such as testicular development and pubic hair growth. It also helps in sperm production.
Low testosterone levels can be due to an issue with the testes or the pituitary gland that controls them.
There are two main types of hypogonadism:
Symptoms of Hypogonadism may include:
At Level One Urgent Care, we diagnose hypogonadism by conducting laboratory tests to check your testosterone levels. Testosterone tests are typically done in the morning when your hormone levels are high.
We may also order a blood test to look for underlying causes and semen analysis to check your sperm count, as hypogonadism can reduce your sperm count.
We treat hypogonadism using testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), which is administered as a testosterone shot, patch, oral pill, or gel. It helps increase testosterone levels, improve sexual function, and enhance overall well-being and performance.
Erectile dysfunction refers to a common condition in which you experience a persistent inability to achieve or maintain penile erection for satisfactory sexual performance. Although it affects men of all ages, it becomes more common with age.
Experiencing occasional difficulties with achieving an erection is not necessarily a cause for concern. However, if it persists as a recurring challenge, it can induce stress, diminish self-assurance, and potentially strain relationships.
Erectile dysfunction can be caused by a combination of physical, psychological, and lifestyle factors, including:
The primary symptom of erectile dysfunction is trouble getting an erection. Other associated symptoms may include:
Along with a physical examination and assessing your medical and sexual history, we may recommend laboratory tests, such as blood counts, urinalysis, and lipid profile.
Our treatment for erectile dysfunction depends on the underlying cause and may include:
