21.01.2022 Let’s face it, a lot of Aussie males would rather bottle up their feelings than share their emotions with their doctor. Just as there’s no shame in getting sick with the flu, there’s no shame in suffering a mental illness either. Statistics from Beyond Blue tell us that one in eight men will experience depression and one in five men will experience anxiety at some stage of their lives but you don’t need to go through it alone. An understanding GP who knows you well can hel...p you navigate through life when the going gets tough. Be open with them about your worries and talk to them about what’s going on in your life and relationships. Often, simply opening up to someone can be enough to give you some relief. Your GP can offer tools to manage your mental health and refer you on to a mental health specialist if the issue is prolonged or worsening.

12.01.2022 It’s a good idea to check in with your GP annually, so there is an understanding of your baseline level of physical health and life situation. From here, you can set some measurable health goals together. This baseline acts as a helpful comparison tool when you return for your next check-up. An annual visit may include check-ups on your blood pressure, heart rate and cholesterol to minimise the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases, heart attacks and strokes down the track. It’s important to include a skin check during your annual visit to identify any abnormalities or suspicious moles.

10.01.2022 The most effective way to remain disease-free is to visit your GP for regular screening tests to detect issues even before you have symptoms. For many chronic illnesses, early detection is more effective than trying to treat it once it’s developed. Depending on your age, weight and health, your doctor may recommend any of the following screening tests for men: A fasting blood sugar test to rule out diabetes Hearing and eyesight tests if you are over 65 or have existing pr...oblems A stool sample test to check for bowel cancer if you are aged 50 and over. A colonoscopy could be recommended for those considered high risk. Full-body skin check Download the Easyvisit app or visit http://ow.ly/UFBD50FgmVj to book an annual check up with your GP.

06.01.2022 It’s not uncommon for men to avoid visiting their General Practitioner. Many are reluctant to ‘bother’ the doctor with something they believe to be trivial, often waiting until the issue becomes extreme. Others are uncomfortable with exposing their vulnerability and would rather suffer in silence. While some may not prioritise their healthcare. Why do you think men are reluctant to see their GP about health concerns?

03.01.2022 It’s important for men to visit their GP annually to ensure they are taking care of themselves both physically and mentally. Having an annual check-up ensures your GP has an understanding of your baseline level of health, preventative screening and tests are done as needed and they can support your mental health. Developing a long-term relationship with your GP is one of the best ways to live a long, healthy life, supported by a doctor who understands your life circumstances and monitors your risk factors for diseases along the way.
