From your simplest questions to greatest concerns, Cleveland Clinic men’s health experts are here for every care in the world.
It’s no secret: men are statistically much less likely than women to seek medical care. It’s important for men to consult with their physician before they suspect something is not quite right, but our experts also recommend seeing your doctor regularly. Staying proactive is essential in preventing future issues.
Your health starts with a primary care physician:
Think of them as the quarterback of your health care team. They coordinate care, address concerns early, and connect you with specialists when needed. Whether you’re thinking about the future by prioritizing your health or managing chronic conditions, establishing a relationship with a PCP is crucial. Preventive care forms the foundation of your health. Request an appointment to get started.
Why Men Over 40 Should Start Seeing a Urologist Regularly
If you’re a man 40 or older, seeing a urologist regularly is most likely the last thing on your mind when you have a million other things to take care of. But as you go through your 40s, quality-of-life issues become more important. A men’s health expert can help guide you on what to expect, useful lifestyle changes, when to simply observe and when to treat a problem.
Men’s health conditions often share the same signs and symptoms. Although there may be a simple explanation and an easy fix, there’s a chance that you could need treatment before something gets worse.
See your doctor whenever you have:
- Blood in your urine or semen.
- Urination problems, including pain or burning, needing to go all the time, difficulty getting started or a weak flow.
- New or worsening erectile dysfunction.
- Painful ejaculation.
- Changes or pain in your testicles or penis, including swelling, hardness, a lump or feeling of heaviness.
- Ongoing pain or stiffness in your lower back, hips or legs.
- Penile curvature.
Colon Cancer Screening
An absence of symptoms does not mean you don’t have colon cancer. One of the most common ways to get screened for colon cancer is a colonoscopy.
If you’re age 45 or older, we recommend you get a colonoscopy. What’s the test looking for? We take a look inside your body to check out any changes in the cells of your colon (large intestine), bleeding or colon growths (polyps). At Cleveland Clinic, our experts have experience knowing what’s normal when it comes to colon changes — and what’s inflammation or a sign of cancer.
To schedule your colonoscopy at a Cleveland Clinic in Florida location, please visit clevelandclinicflorida.org/colonoscopy or choose from the options below:

Skin Cancer Screening
Skin cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in the U.S. In fact, about 1 in 5 people develop skin cancer at some point in their life. If you have noticed any changes on your skin – like new growths or changes to existing moles or freckles, make an appointment with a dermatologist. They will examine all your skin and investigate any suspicious findings.

Coping with COVID-19
Survey Illustrates the Mental and Physical Toll the Pandemic is Taking on Men
In an online survey among approximately 1,000 U.S. males 18 years or older, Cleveland Clinic found that 77 percent of men report their stress level has increased as a result of COVID-19. Half of men (48%) have put off seeing a doctor for non-COVID-19 related health issues over the last few months – this is even higher among men 18-34 (56%).
“We want to remind men that their health shouldn’t take a back seat, especially during a pandemic,” said Eric Klein, M.D., chairman of Cleveland Clinic’s Glickman Urological & Kidney Institute. “If you’re experiencing symptoms that indicate a real health issue, don’t be afraid to come to the hospital or schedule an appointment with a healthcare provider, either virtually or in person. Your health is too important not to.”
