Almost every man worries about erectile dysfunction (ED) at some point in his life. For some it is simply an occasional bad night, perhaps after too much alcohol, a stressful week at work or poor sleep. For others it develops gradually and begins to affect confidence, relationships and self-esteem. Many men say nothing for months or even years, hoping the problem will simply disappear.

Hair loss is not just cosmetic. For many men, it affects confidence, self-image and wellbeing. A proper diagnosis helps identify the cause and choose safe, sensible treatment.

Many of the conditions that affect men do not appear suddenly. Heart disease, type 2 diabetes, some cancers, frailty, poor mental health and loss of independence often develop over many years, and can often be prevented.
