Men's Health
Australian men are statistically less likely than women to visit their GP — yet men face significant risks of preventable conditions including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers. Men need straightforward, non-judgmental care tailored to their individual health needs.
Men's Health in Coogee — Looking After What Matters
Why Men's Health Matters
In 2025, the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) highlighted that men with a regular GP relationship have better health outcomes through preventive care, early screening, and mental health support. Yet many men delay seeking help until a problem is advanced.
What a Men's Health Check Covers
A dedicated men's health appointment can include:
- Cardiovascular risk assessment — blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar
- Prostate health — including a discussion about PSA (prostate-specific antigen) testing based on your age and risk factors
- Bowel cancer screening
- Testicular health and fertility if relevant
- Mental health and wellbeing
- Weight, sleep, and lifestyle review
- Skin check
Prostate Cancer Screening
Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australian men. PSA testing is not recommended for all men, but a conversation with your GP about your individual risk — including age and family history — will help you make an informed decision.
Mental Health for Men
Men are less likely to seek help for mental health concerns, yet suicide remains a leading cause of death in Australian men under 55. Our GPs provide a safe, confidential space to talk.
