Men’s health below the belt can make a person squeamish, but ignoring real symptoms can have a devastating effect.
“Silence can be our worst enemy. Talking about these issues and seeing a specialist are the necessary steps to below-the-belt health,” said Dr. Brent Williams, urologist at Jamestown Regional Medical Center.
Misinformation about men’s health issues is abundant, Dr. Williams said, in part because it’s so private.
Some of the most common ailments Dr. Williams sees are: incontinence, low energy and erectile dysfunction.
Important questions you ‘mustache’ yourself:
- How often do you go to the bathroom?
- When you go, is it urgent?
- Do you have blood in your urine?
- How are things in the bedroom?
- Are you feeling out of energy?
Various treatment options are available locally. Patients can self-refer, meaning they don’t have to visit their primary physician first. They can make an appointment directly at JRMC. That cuts down on embarrassing conversations, Williams said.
Let’s encourage others to get up and go see a doctor.
To schedule an appointment, call JRMC Urology at (701) 952-4878.
