General Men’s Health – Preventive Medicine and Longevity Q & A
Men’s health is a lot more than sexuality, but sexual health is often a barometer for a man’s general health. By effectively treating underlying medical problems, sex problems will respond faster and more completely to treatment. Older and younger men tend to have different health issues. Preventive medicine is just as important as treatment for men of all ages.
Common issues as men get older include:

- Decreased sex drive
- Hair loss and loss of masculine facial contours

- Osteoarthritis and joint pain
- Peripheral neuropathy
- Loss of muscle mass (sarcopenia)
