Testosterone
Testosterone is a sex hormone that plays important roles in the body. Low levels of testosterone may cause men to experience mental fatigue.
Prostate Cancer and Testicular Cancer
Your risk for many health conditions may be written in your genes. Men whose prostate or testicular cancer is localized (is only in the prostate or testicles) and who have a family history of breast, colon, ovarian, pancreatic, or prostate cancer may have a gene mutation. Genetic screening can assess your risk for these and other cancer types
PSA
The PSA test is a blood test used primarily to screen for prostate cancer. The test measures the amount of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in your blood.
Mental Health
Men tend to be less likely to receive mental health treatment than women. This could be because men’s mental health remains, to some extent, tied up with traditional gender expectations and roles. Mental health remains an important element in one’s overall well-being and contentedness.
