A word before you book

Why men often leave it too long

Most men don't ignore symptoms because they don't care — they ignore them because life gets in the way. Work comes first. Family comes first. Other responsibilities come first.

A concern that starts as a minor issue can quietly become something that affects sleep, confidence, relationships, performance at work, or overall quality of life. Many patients tell us they wish they'd booked sooner.

The purpose of a men's health appointment isn't simply to diagnose a condition. It's to understand what's causing the problem and create a plan to move forward.

A closer look

Common concerns, addressed properly

Feeling tired, low, or not quite yourself?

Low testosterone is one of the most common concerns discussed at our men’s health clinic in Preston. Symptoms may include:

  • Persistent tiredness
  • Reduced libido
  • Difficulty maintaining erections
  • Brain fog
  • Poor concentration
  • Loss of motivation
  • Mood changes
  • Reduced muscle mass

These symptoms can have several causes, which is why blood testing is often the first step. Dr Secretary can arrange testosterone blood testing, explain the results clearly, and discuss appropriate treatment options where needed, including testosterone replacement therapy (TRT).

When sexual health starts affecting confidence

Erectile dysfunction and low libido are far more common than most men realise. In many cases they are linked to underlying issues such as low testosterone, cardiovascular disease, stress, anxiety, medication side effects or poor sleep. Rather than simply prescribing medication, Dr Secretary takes the time to understand what may be contributing. Treatment options may include medication, blood testing, lifestyle advice, hormone assessment or referral to a specialist where appropriate — and all discussions remain completely confidential.

Looking after your prostate health

Many men begin to think about prostate health as they get older, particularly with a family history of prostate problems. Private PSA blood testing can be arranged as part of a men’s health consultation, with results reviewed personally by Dr Secretary, who explains what they mean and whether any further investigation is needed. For men over 50, or those with risk factors, PSA testing can form an important part of a broader health assessment.

Mental health matters too

Anxiety, depression, stress and burnout affect thousands of men every year, and many wait until symptoms become severe before seeking help. Here, mental health concerns are treated with the same importance as physical symptoms. Appointments provide time to discuss concerns openly, explore possible causes, and consider treatment options, support services or specialist referral where appropriate. Sometimes the biggest step is simply starting the conversation.

Prevention, not just treatment

Staying well, not just treating problems

Many patients visit simply because they want reassurance that everything is working as it should. A men's health check aims to identify potential issues early and create a practical plan for maintaining long-term health.

  • Blood pressure assessment
  • Cholesterol testing
  • Diabetes screening
  • Testosterone testing
  • PSA testing
  • Cardiovascular risk assessment
  • Weight & lifestyle review

Common questions

Men's health in Preston, answered

Reviewed by Dr Faizal Secretary MRCGP
What are the signs of low testosterone in men?

Common symptoms include fatigue, reduced libido, low mood, poor concentration, reduced muscle mass and erectile difficulties.

What is a testosterone blood test?

A testosterone blood test measures hormone levels and helps identify whether symptoms may be related to testosterone deficiency.

What is the treatment for male menopause?

Treatment for male menopause depends on the cause of symptoms. Management may include lifestyle changes, treating underlying medical conditions, psychological support, and testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) when clinically appropriate. Blood tests help determine whether low testosterone contributes to symptoms.

How do you manage erectile dysfunction?

Treatment for erectile dysfunction depends on what is causing it. For some men, medication may be appropriate. Others may benefit from testosterone testing, cardiovascular risk assessment, lifestyle changes, or addressing stress and anxiety.

What does a men's health check include?

Health checks can include blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes screening, PSA testing, testosterone assessment and cardiovascular risk review.

How is a PSA test performed?

A PSA test is a simple blood test carried out at the clinic and reviewed personally by Dr Secretary.

What is the normal PSA range by age?

There is no single normal PSA level for every man because PSA levels naturally increase with age. Levels below 3 ng/mL are often considered reassuring in men aged 50–69, but interpretation also depends on symptoms, family history and overall health. PSA results should always be reviewed in the context of the individual.

What are the symptoms of male menopause?

Symptoms of male menopause may include tiredness, reduced libido, mood changes, brain fog and loss of motivation.

Is the appointment confidential?

Yes. All consultations are completely confidential and handled in accordance with GMC guidance.
