Introduction and General Overview
Despite the unique health needs men possess, they are statistically less likely to seek medical attention compared to their female counterparts. At El Camino Health, we have established a personalized and confidential environment designed specifically for the discussion of sensitive male health issues, often recognized as intricate concerns that can be more complex than initially perceived.
The body is an interconnected system where one issue may manifest symptoms signaling underlying health complications elsewhere in the anatomy. For instance, erectile dysfunction may highlight heart problems or vascular system conditions requiring attention from a cardiologist, urologist, and other specialists. This holistic approach at El Camino Health acknowledges every aspect of your health holistically and deeply, transcing conventional men's health programs.
A collaborative effort underpins our service provision, leveraging expertise across various disciplines such as:
Cardiovascular: Heart and vascular system disorders can have broader impacts beyond the immediate area.
Ear, Nose, and Throat ENT: Dizziness, allergies, hearing loss - these minor symptoms significantly influence men's overall health.
Gastroenterology GI: Digestive problems like acid reflux are more prevalent with age among men.
Internal Medicine: A comprehensive view of your overall health by specialists in internal medicine is essential.
Orthopedics: Specialized care for injuries or disorders of the skeletal system, muscles, joints and ligaments helps us diagnose and treat sports enthusiasts across various fields.
Sexual dysfunction: Often overlooked due to stigma but frequently treatable issues that need attention.
Sleep Disorders: Sleep apnea in men often shares common roots with conditions like erectile dysfunction.
Urology: Comprehensive care encompassing all aspects of male urinary and reproductive health. Our urologists offer innovative surgical cancer care alongside minimally invasive treatment options, such as high-intensity focused ultrasound HIFU for prostate cancer.
