25.01.2022 June 14 20 is Men’s Health Week which focuses on the relationship between men and their mental and physical health. More males die at every stages through the life course, more males have accidents, more males take their own lives and more males suffer from lifestyle-related health conditions than females at the same age. Yet, men are less frequent visitors to general practitioners, and the perception is that they don't prioritise their health. Men’s Health Week aims to bring awareness of men's health and to raise the profile of men, their health outcomes and health needs. Learn more: https://www.menshealthweek.org.au/

20.01.2022 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.

06.01.2022 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.

03.01.2022 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 Book an annual check up with your GP today! http://ow.ly/5QQK50Fgn1i
