As men get older, it becomes increasingly important to take charge of their health. While it’s easy to brush off symptoms or delay check-ups, many health conditions become more common after age 40—and catching them early can make all the difference.
At Emmanuel Medical Clinic in Panorama City, we’re here to help men stay strong, active, and healthy with preventive screenings and compassionate care tailored to your needs.
Why Men’s Health Deserves Attention
Studies show that men are less likely to visit the doctor regularly or report symptoms. However, small warning signs can lead to big health problems if ignored. Scheduling routine exams and being proactive with your health can help prevent serious complications down the road.
Top Health Issues Men Over 40 Should Monitor
1. High Blood Pressure
- Why it matters: Often symptomless, high blood pressure can lead to heart attack, stroke, or kidney disease.
- What to do: Have your blood pressure checked regularly and maintain a heart-healthy lifestyle.
2. Prostate Health
- Why it matters: The risk of prostate enlargement or prostate cancer increases after 40.
- What to do: Discuss PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) testing with your doctor, especially if you have a family history.
3. Diabetes
- Why it matters: Type 2 diabetes is more likely to develop with age, especially if you’re overweight or inactive.
- What to do: Schedule a blood sugar test, and maintain a balanced diet with regular exercise.
4. Testosterone Levels
- Why it matters: Low testosterone can affect energy, mood, libido, and muscle mass.
- What to do: If you’re feeling unusually tired, depressed, or have changes in sexual health, talk to your doctor about testing.
5. Colorectal Cancer
- Why it matters: This is the third most common cancer in men.
- What to do: Start screening at age 45, or earlier if you have risk factors.
6. Mental Health
- Why it matters: Depression and anxiety often go undiagnosed in men.
- What to do: Don’t suffer in silence. Mental health is just as important as physical health, and we offer support.
