What happens during men’s health visits?

During a men’s health visit at Southern New Hampshire Internal Medicine, the team checks your weight, pulse, blood pressure, and other vital signs. They also review your medical history and symptoms and complete a comprehensive physical exam. 

Your specialist evaluates your eyes, ears, throat, breathing, heartbeat, abdomen, reflexes and completes a prostate exam as needed. 

They may also recommend you undergo urine tests, blood tests, nasal or throat swabs, heart function tests, biopsies, X-rays, or other imaging procedures to detect or rule out specific men’s health issues.

If you’re healthy, you may not need treatment, and you may opt for preventive medicine services. If you require treatment, Southern New Hampshire Internal Medicine might suggest:

• Nutrition counseling
• Medical weight loss

• Injections
• Inhalers
• Dietary supplements
• Fracture or wound care

The Southern New Hampshire Internal Medicine team personalizes each treatment to keep you as healthy as possible, reduce unpleasant symptoms, or help you manage a chronic disease.

If you need a sports or work physical and pass your physical exam, your provider fills out the required forms needed for you to play on a sports team or safely complete your job duties.
