Men's Health
Maintaining good health is important – and if you’re like most men, you may not be as proactive about your health as you should be. At SSM Health, we pride ourselves in providing full service, multifaceted care that incorporates prevention, screening, and treatment services for men of all ages.
To serve you better, please set your location for information on services available in your area.
Are You at Risk?
Nearly one in seven men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer at some point in their life. The survival rate is extremely high, especially when it’s diagnosed early.
Comprehensive Care for Men
We believe in promoting healthy lifestyles – and being ready and able to take on an unfortunate situation, should it arise. Early detection of disease exponentially increases the chance of overcoming it. It’s important to get the screening tests you need on a regular basis. Make sure to schedule your annual physical – and stay on top of your health.
Some health conditions only affect men. Prostate cancer or low testosterones, for example, are common conditions affecting millions of men each year.
Comprehensive care that is specific to men can include:
- Annual physical and preventative care exams
- Acute conditions
- Cholesterol management
- Coronary artery disease
- Hypertension
- Pre-travel vaccinations and counseling
- Urology
Many common conditions that could require clinical care by a specialized SSM Health physician or professional include:
- Breast reduction in men with gynecomastia
- Colorectal cancer
- Hair loss
- Heart attack
- High blood pressure/Hypertension
- Lower back pain
- Metabolic syndrome
- Obesity
- Oral cancer
- Peyronie’s disease
- Benign prostatic hyperplasia
- Sleep apnea

At SSM Health, we believe it’s never too late for men to take control of their health. It’s important to make regular checkups with your physician at every stage of your life a priority. From young men going through puberty to seniors who face completely different challenges, men who take an active role in their health lead longer, happier, and healthier lives. Between regular checkups and treating complex diseases, our specialists have the experience and resources to provide you with the best care. Contact us today to find a provider and schedule an appointment.
Request a Prostate (PSA) Screening Consultation
Prostate cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in men: about 1 in 7 will be diagnosed. Prostate cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer death in men. It is also one of the most treatable cancers, which is why it is crucial to seek annual screenings.
If you are a male over the age of 50, contact one of our locations to start your screening today.
