[source] An unusual case of vascular hypogonadism treated with clomiphene citrate and testosterone replacementANDROLOGIA, Issue 1 2009R. S. Tan Summary Many male patients are discovered on screening to suffer from hypogonadism and age related hypogonadism is being increasingly recognized. However, secondary causes of hypogonadism should not be overlooked, especially in patients who may have concomitant morbidity as highlighted in this case. Our patient with vascular hypogonadism was treated with testosterone and clomiphene citrate in cycles; with a hope of improving not only androgen levels but overall pituitary function as there were co-existing endocrine pathologies of albeit primary hypothyroidism and low IGF-1 levels. Treatment with exogenous testosterone is fairly well established; but there is also increasing evidence of the effectiveness and short-term safety of clomiphene citrate in restoring not only biological levels but functional states in males as well. As such, we report an unusual case of a patient seen at our Men's Health & Andrology clinic in which both the cause of some otherwise unremarkable symptoms and the treatment, using a combination of clomiphene citrate and testosterone, were remarkable.

[source] Are men shortchanged on health?INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CLINICAL PRACTICE, Issue 4 2010Perspective on life expectancy, morbidity, mortality in men, women in the United States Summary Background:, Significant gender disparities exist in life expectancy and major disease morbidity. There is an urgent need to understand the major issues related to men's health that contributes to these significant disparities. It is hypothesized that men have higher and earlier morbidities, in addition to behavioral factors that contribute to their lower life expectancy. Methods:, Data was collected from CDC: Health United States, 2007; American Heart Association, American Obesity Association, and American Cancer Society. Results:, Men have lower life expectancy than women in most countries around the world including United States. This gender disparity is consistent regardless of geography, race and ethnicity. More men die of 12 out of the 15 leading causes of death than women. In addition, men have higher morbidity and mortality in coronary heart disease (CHD), hypertension, diabetes, and cancer. Conclusions:, Men's lower life expectancy may be explained by biological and clinical factors such as the higher incidence of cardiovascular metabolic disease and cancer. In the context of public health, raising awareness of cardiovascular and metabolic health is needed to reduce the gender disparity. In addition, consideration of preventive and early detection/intervention programs may improve men's health. [source] A review of the psychosocial issues for nurses in male genitalia-related careJOURNAL OF CLINICAL NURSING, Issue 8 2008MMed (Cardiovascular Surgery), Yu-Li Zang BMed (Nursing) Aim., This literature review aimed to highlight psychosocial issues for nurses in the practice of male genitalia-related care so as to guide the improvement of the teaching and practice of male genitalia-related care. Background., Male genitalia-related care is common in hospitals and in the community. In several conditions, e.g. incontinence, postradiotherapy or following operation for cancer of genitalia, bladder, colon or rectum, patients will require male genitalia-related care. Patients who require male genitalia-related care may encounter psychosocial and/or sexual dysfunction. In the holistic approach to men's health, nurses are expected to meet patients' psychosocial and sexual needs, while the literature suggests that nurses' perceptions and attitudes in providing certain male genitalia-related care, e.g. genital hygiene, sexual counselling, are negative. Method., Systematic literature review. Conclusion., Issues surrounding male genitalia-related care for nurses are complicated and may be related to privacy, intimacy, sexuality, dirty work and emotional discomfort. Age, gender, race and social class could compound these issues. Relevance to clinical practice., Nurses' negative perceptions, responses and attitudes towards male genitalia-related care may exacerbate patients' conditions under which male genitalia-related care is required. Appropriate strategies should be developed to overcome these problems. [source] Best practices for improving college men's healthNEW DIRECTIONS FOR STUDENT SERVICES, Issue 107 2004Will H.

[source] MEN'S HEALTH PROMOTION BY GENERAL PRACTITIONERS IN A WORKPLACE SETTINGAUSTRALIAN JOURNAL OF RURAL HEALTH, Issue 6 2002Samar Aoun ABSTRACT:A project to promote men's health through diabetes education and screening was undertaken throughout rural industries in 1999/2000 in the south-west of Western Australia. Five hundred and twenty-five men aged 40,65 years participated from 27 industries. Sixty-four per cent of these men were identified at high-risk of developing diabetes and were referred to their general practitioner (GP) for follow-up. Seventy-six per cent of those at-risk visited their GP and hence the strategy adopted has been appropriate in engaging men in the preventive concept of seeking care, that is, getting them to attend their GP when they only have the risk factors but not the disease. However, men were left short of knowing how to achieve a change in their lifestyle behaviour and take appropriate action. Given the constraints of rural practice and the need to prioritise those with disease and gaps in service provision for both health services and GPs, there are two challenges: identifying those at-risk and modifying their behaviour.
