From your simplest questions to greatest concerns, turn to our men’s health experts 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 if they suspect something is not quite right, but our experts also recommend seeing a urologist regularly, beginning at age 40.
When (and Why) You Should Start Seeing a Urologist
When you already have a million priorities, seeing a urologist is probably the last thing on your mind.
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, waking up at night to urinate.
- New or worsening erectile dysfunction.
- Painful ejaculation.
- Low energy or sex drive (libido).
- Difficulty losing weight or gaining muscle.
- 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.

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.”
