Comprehensive Men’s Health Services in Brighton

Our experienced GPs provide expert care across a range of men’s health concerns, including:

  • Staying on top of your health is essential for long-term well-being. Our GPs provide regular check-ups, health screenings, and personalised advice to detect and prevent serious conditions before they develop. This includes heart health checks, diabetes risk assessments, prostate and bowel cancer screening, and lifestyle guidance to support overall wellness.

  • Managing chronic conditions like diabetes, hypertension, asthma, and heart disease requires ongoing care. Our GPs develop personalised management plans, monitor symptoms, and provide guidance on medication and lifestyle changes to help you maintain a better quality of life while reducing the risk of complications.

  • Men are at a higher risk of heart disease, making regular heart health assessments essential. If you're over 45, or over 30 for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men, we recommend a heart check to assess blood pressure, cholesterol, lifestyle factors, and family history. Early detection allows for timely intervention, reducing your risk of heart attacks and strokes.

  • Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in Australian men. Our GPs provide personalised screening recommendations, including PSA blood tests and prostate health assessments for men over 50. If you have a family history of prostate cancer or experience urinary symptoms, we can guide you through the screening process and arrange specialist referrals when necessary.

  • Bowel cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths, but early detection greatly improves treatment outcomes. Our clinic provides guidance on the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program, which offers free home test kits for men aged 50 to 74. For those with a family history or digestive concerns, we offer individualised screening recommendations and specialist referrals.

  • Type 2 diabetes is increasingly common among men, particularly those with a family history or lifestyle risk factors. Our GPs offer blood glucose and HbA1c testing to assess your risk, along with tailored prevention and management plans to help maintain healthy blood sugar levels and prevent long-term complications.

  • Sexual health concerns can affect confidence and overall well-being. We provide confidential consultations for STI screening and treatment, erectile dysfunction management, testosterone level assessments, and fertility concerns. Our experienced GPs offer discreet advice and effective treatment options to support your reproductive and sexual health.

  • Mental health is just as important as physical health. If you are experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, sleep disturbances, or difficulties coping with work, relationships, or life changes, our GPs are here to help. We offer mental health care plans, lifestyle support, and referrals to psychologists and counsellors. Seeking support early can improve your overall well-being and quality of life. For immediate crisis support, services such as Lifeline, Beyond Blue, and MensLine Australia are available.

  • Testicular cancer is most common in men aged 15 to 45, making early detection crucial. We encourage men to perform regular self-examinations to check for lumps, swelling, or changes in the testicles. If you notice anything unusual, our GPs can provide expert evaluations and arrange further testing if necessary.

  • Australia has one of the highest skin cancer rates in the world, making regular skin checks essential. Our experienced GPs conduct thorough skin assessments to detect any suspicious moles or lesions early. If required, we offer treatments such as biopsies, cryotherapy, and minor surgical excisions to remove abnormal skin growths before they become serious.

  • Osteoporosis is often considered a condition that primarily affects women, but men over 50 are also at risk, particularly those with a family history, low testosterone levels, or long-term use of corticosteroids. We offer bone density testing referrals and provide expert guidance on diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes to help maintain bone strength and reduce the risk of fractures.

Regular health checks help detect early warning signs of illness and allow you to discuss any concerns with your GP. These check-ups can identify conditions like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and some cancers before symptoms appear, improving treatment outcomes.

If you have a family history or other risk factors, it’s important to have specific tests more frequently.
