Don’t Let Physical Health Affect

It may come as no surprise that adults with a medical illness are more likely to experience depression. The reverse is also true: People of all ages with depression are at higher risk of developing certain physical illnesses

If you or your family has delayed care, act now and start with Men’s Health Awareness in June! Not only do women see the doctor more often, but they’re also more likely to get routine health screenings. Without these screenings, symptoms of serious health conditions can be potentially overlooked.

Urological Services

Men are more likely to experience urological issues than women, but two in five men won’t bring it up with a doctor due to embarrassment.

Here are some of the urological symptoms to look for:

• 1 Waking up more than twice per night to urinate

• 2 Change in urine color

• 3 Involuntary urine loss
