What does a men's health checkup with our urologists include?
A men’s health checkup with our urologists is a review of urinary, sexual and hormone health. Based on your age and symptoms, we may check a urine sample, PSA or testosterone, and we also talk about ED and cardiovascular risk, fertility and testicle self-checks. Get checked if you notice a weaker stream, erection problems, low energy or sex drive, or a testicle lump.
What does a men’s health checkup include?
A men’s health checkup is a review of urinary, sexual and hormone health, shaped by your age and symptoms. Our urologists may check a urine sample, a PSA or a testosterone level when those tests would change the plan, and lab work can be drawn in this building. Bring a medicine list and any recent results to 11660 Alpharetta Hwy Ste 700.
What else might we talk through?
Along with urinary, sexual and hormone health, the visit can cover erectile changes and how they relate to heart and vascular risk, fertility plans, and how to check the testicles. Which of those comes up depends on your age, your history and what you want to discuss. Bring any recent PSA or hormone results so those numbers can be reviewed in the same conversation.
When should I get checked?
Book a men’s health visit if you notice a weaker stream, erection problems, low energy or sex drive, or a lump on a testicle, or if you simply want those areas reviewed together. The visit at 11660 Alpharetta Hwy Ste 700 often includes a history, an exam when it is appropriate, and lab work such as a urine test, a PSA or a testosterone level. A painful, swollen testicle or a sudden severe lump belongs in an emergency room the same day.

When should I call us?
Call us if you notice a weaker stream, erection problems, low energy or sex drive, or a testicle lump, or if you simply want a men’s health checkup. A painful testicle with swelling, fever, or a sudden severe lump should be evaluated promptly, in an emergency room if it feels urgent.
