Men's Health Q&A

What is men’s health?

Men’s health focuses on reproductive health and other unique concerns you may have. Treatment for men’s health problems is designed to keep you healthy, maintain wellness, and prevent disease or other complications.

Dr. Milligan can determine if you’re at risk for a health problem and take steps to prevent it. He’ll also look for early signs of chronic disease so it can be treated before causing serious health problems like diabetes and heart disease.

Men’s health is also an opportunity to talk with Dr. Milligan about diet, exercise, your mental health, and other concerns that affect your quality of daily life.

What are some common men’s health problems?

Some of the most common health problems for men include:

Heart disease
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
Other respiratory diseases
High blood pressure
Low testosterone levels
Diabetes

It's important for you to be aware of health risks for certain conditions, especially as you start to age.

What can men’s health treat?

Men’s health can treat a variety of health concerns. Depending on your age and condition, Dr. Milligan can develop a treatment plan that suits your needs. For many men, hormone imbalance brings them in for men’s health care.

As a part of the natural aging process, it’s normal for men to lose testosterone — a hormone responsible for a variety of daily functions — especially in middle age and the senior years. However, a lack of testosterone can impact the whole body, including:

Poor libido
Lack of energy
Loss of muscle mass
Hair loss
Mood swings
Erectile dysfunction

Dr. Milligan offers hormone therapy to improve your symptoms associated with low testosterone levels.

How can hormone therapy help men?

To rebalance your natural hormone levels, Dr. Milligan offers bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) with BioTE®.

BioTE is a leader in preventive medicine. They manufacture custom-compounded pellets that are the size of a grain of rice. These hormone pellets go under the skin of your hip, thigh, or buttocks, and release hormones that are similar to ones your body produces naturally.
