Men's Health Q & A
What are the most common men’s health care issues?
Men have many different health issues today, with some of the most common including:
- Heart disease (the leading cause of death in men)
- Diabetes
- Respiratory disease
- High blood pressure
- Stroke
- Liver disease
- Kidney disease
- Cancer
- Depression
- Anxiety
Some men’s health problems may occur at the same time, for example, diabetes and high blood pressure. Other men’s health issues, such as sexual dysfunction, aren’t life-threatening but can be very hard to live with.
What does men’s health care include?
At Del Sol Centro Medico Familiar PLLC, the team of men’s health experts understands the health challenges that men face today. They’re here to help you be your best both mentally and physically. To accomplish this goal, the team offers a variety of care including:
- Annual physicals

If you have health concerns of any type, the team is happy to discuss them with you. All of your information remains private, and the team has extensive experience in dealing with all types of issues that men face today, so don’t hesitate to speak honestly.
Studies show that men are, as a group, less likely to see the doctor when they’re sick. Unfortunately, this reluctance to seek medical care may at least partially explain why men die from treatable conditions more often than women.
Del Sol Centro Medico Familiar PLLC wants to change the way men see health care, so they go out of their way to make good health understandable and accessible for all men.
How frequently do I need men’s health care?
If you’re in good overall health and you’re managing any chronic conditions well, you may need only a once-a-year men’s wellness checkup to stay healthy. But if you have new symptoms, such as chest pain or shortness of breath, it’s best to schedule an appointment quickly.
In general, annual exams can catch problems before they cause symptoms, while acute illness visits can deal with the unexpected problems that may occur. Del Sol Centro Medico Familiar PLLC offers both types of approaches in one place so you can have easy-to-access care from medical care providers whom you know and trust.
