Men’s Health

Comprehensive Men's Health Care in North Sydney

 

At Walker Street Doctors, we understand that men's health encompasses far more than just physical wellbeing. Our experienced GPs provide comprehensive care tailored to men's unique health needs in a professional, confidential environment.

 

Our Expertise in Men's Health

 

Preventive Health & Screening

We offer comprehensive health assessments tailored to detect and prevent common health issues in men. Our screening includes 

  • Annual cholesterol, blood sugar, and insulin testing to catch the earliest signs of metabolic changes

  • HbA1C testing for a three-month overview of blood sugar control

  • Advanced cardiovascular screening, including Coronary Calcium Scoring when appropriate - a specialized CT scan that reveals whether high cholesterol is actively affecting your heart health

  • Dedicated over-75 health assessments, incorporating annual driving medical examinations and overall wellbeing optimization

  • State-of-the-art body composition analysis measuring muscle mass and visceral fat, helping prevent age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia) and maintain optimal metabolic health at any age

 

Mental Wellbeing

Your mental health matters, and seeking support is a sign of strength. Our GPs are experienced in supporting men through life's challenges, including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, workplace stress, and work-life balance issues. We provide a safe, judgment-free space to discuss any concerns affecting your mental wellbeing.

We can create personalized GP Mental Health Care Plans that give you access to Medicare-rebated sessions with experienced psychologists. Whether you're dealing with specific challenges or simply want to work on becoming your best self, we'll help connect you with the right mental health professional. Our focus is on providing practical, solution-oriented support that helps you develop effective strategies for managing stress, improving relationships, and enhancing your overall quality of life.

 

Sexual & Reproductive Health

We believe that sexual health is an essential part of your overall wellbeing. Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common concern that can arise from various causes - whether following prostate surgery, due to psychological factors, or as a sign of underlying health conditions. Our approach is straightforward and professional: these are everyday health matters that deserve proper medical attention.

Remember, your GP has heard it all before. There's no need to lie awake at night worrying when solutions are available. We'd much rather you speak openly with us about your concerns than suffer in silence. Many sexual health issues have straightforward solutions, and seeking help is a sign of self-respect and good judgment.

Regular STI screening is a crucial part of maintaining sexual health. For men, it's particularly important to know that common infections like chlamydia often have no noticeable symptoms. We encourage proactive testing as part of routine health maintenance - it's a simple way to protect both your health and your partners'. Our practice provides comprehensive STI testing and treatment in a confidential, non-judgmental environment.

We provide evidence-based treatments for erectile dysfunction and other sexual health concerns in a completely professional environment. Our goal is to help you live your best life, and sometimes that means having frank conversations about sexual health. Taking charge of your sexual health isn't embarrassing - it's the mark of a man who takes his wellbeing seriously.

 

Cancer Screening & Prevention

Early detection is crucial for successful cancer treatment. Our practice follows evidence-based screening protocols to help protect your health.

 

Prostate Cancer Screening

Modern prostate cancer screening focuses on early detection through blood testing, typically starting between ages 40-45. This approach aims to identify aggressive prostate cancers in younger men, leading to better outcomes and saved lives. The frequency of testing is personalized based on several factors

  • Family history
  • Previous test results
  • Urological symptoms
  • Current medications
  • Existing medical conditions

We follow the clear guidelines established by Australian GPs, Urologists, and Pathologists. For detailed information about PSA testing and prostate cancer screening, visit:

 

Skin Cancer Monitoring

Living in Australia means being particularly vigilant about skin cancer. We understand that self-monitoring can be challenging, especially for areas like the back, posterior arms, and legs where subtle changes are difficult to notice. It's unfair to place this responsibility solely on partners who may miss gradual changes over time.

  • Our approach to skin cancer prevention includes
  • Comprehensive full-body skin examinations
  • Close collaboration with local specialists at Dermatology North Sydney
  • Specialized monitoring for high-risk patients (those with multiple pigmented lesions or family history)

We maintain a balanced approach - encouraging vigilance without causing undue anxiety. When needed, we work closely with dermatology specialists to ensure you receive the most appropriate care for your specific situation.

 

Physical Health & Performance

Our approach to musculoskeletal medicine combines careful diagnostic assessment with practical, evidence-based solutions. We understand that not every injury requires extensive imaging or specialist referral - sometimes the key to recovery lies in expert clinical assessment and targeted advice.

From sports injuries to chronic pain management, our team excels in understanding the root causes of physical complaints. We take time to properly assess each condition, offering thoughtful solutions rather than rushing to advanced imaging like MRI scans when they may not be necessary. Our focus is on providing sound, sensible advice that gets you back to optimal function. 

As general practice specialists, we bring a comprehensive understanding to physical health concerns. Whether you're dealing with a recent sports injury, managing chronic pain, or recovering from an overuse condition, we'll guide you through your recovery journey. Our role extends beyond just diagnosis - we're here to help you navigate the healthcare system, coordinate with specialists when needed, and provide ongoing support throughout your recovery.

We pride ourselves on offering realistic, practical solutions that fit your lifestyle and goals, ensuring you receive the right care at the right time.

 

Heart Health

Prevention is better than cure when it comes to cardiovascular health. Our approach begins with understanding your unique risk profile, including family history and personal health factors, to develop a comprehensive prevention strategy tailored just for you.

We focus on:

  • Detailed cardiovascular risk assessment
  • Personalized prevention strategies
  • Advanced screening when appropriate, including CT coronary calcium scoring to detect early signs of plaque buildup
  • Lifestyle modification support
  • Management of conditions like hypertension and high cholesterol

The CT coronary calcium score is a valuable tool that allows us to look for calcium buildup in your coronary arteries - an important indicator of cardiac plaque development. This information helps us make more informed decisions about your cardiovascular care.

Let us guide you on your journey to optimal heart health, focusing on building and maintaining cardiovascular strength, stamina, and longevity. Our goal is to help you develop and maintain a heart-healthy lifestyle that will serve you well for years to come.
