Many men tend to ignore subtle symptoms like fatigue, low libido, or thinning hair, assuming it’s just part of aging. However, these changes can be signs of deeper health problems such as erectile dysfunction (ED), low testosterone, and hair loss. While common, these conditions are often connected and highly treatable.
Understanding their cause is the first step toward lasting improvement. At MI Express Primary Care, we offer comprehensive men’s health screening to help you take control of your wellness and feel like yourself again.
To better understand men’s health, let’s take a closer look at these common concerns and explore how each one can affect your overall well-being.
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is often thought of as a performance issue, but it’s much more than that. It affects nearly 30 million men in the United States alone. While ED is commonly associated with older age, younger men are also at risk.
ED is the inability to achieve or maintain an erection suitable for sexual activity. It’s far more common than many realize and can be a result of both physical and psychological causes.
Physical factors like heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure can impede blood flow, making it difficult to achieve or maintain an erection. Psychological stress, anxiety, and depression can also play a significant role in the onset of ED.
In many cases, ED can be a sign of underlying health problems, including low testosterone. That’s why it’s crucial to address the root causes of ED.
At MI Express Primary Care, our experienced providers perform diagnostics to identify the causes of ED and offer medication management, counseling, and, if needed, referrals to specialists. By treating the root cause, we can help improve overall health and wellness.
Testosterone, the primary male sex hormone, plays a vital role in a man's health. However, testosterone deficiency, also known as Low T, is a common issue for many men, particularly those over 30. Low testosterone can lead to a variety of symptoms, including fatigue, reduced libido, mood swings, muscle loss, and ED.
Fatigue
Low sex drive
Mood changes
Muscle loss
Erectile dysfunction
Diagnosing testosterone deficiency typically involves lab tests to measure hormone levels. Fortunately, testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) can help restore hormonal balance. Additionally, lifestyle changes such as a balanced diet, regular exercise, and stress management can play a significant role in naturally boosting testosterone levels.
At MI Express Primary Care, we offer comprehensive evaluation and treatment for testosterone deficiency. We monitor your hormone levels closely and tailor treatment plans to meet your specific needs, ensuring that you feel better and live a healthier life.
Hair loss, particularly male-pattern baldness, is one of the most visible signs of aging in men. Often influenced by hormonal changes, particularly an excess of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), hair loss is commonly linked to testosterone imbalances. While hair thinning in men may seem like a cosmetic issue, it can significantly affect self-esteem and confidence.
The emotional impact of hair loss can be just as challenging as its physical effects. However, the good news is that effective treatments are available. From topical solutions like minoxidil to prescription medications and nutritional support, there are several ways to slow or even reverse hair thinning.
Topical solutions (e.g., minoxidil)
Prescription medications
Nutritional support

Our team works with you to restore your hair and, more importantly, your confidence. Whether it's through medications or lifestyle recommendations, we are here to help you feel your best.
ED, Low T, and hair loss don’t just appear in isolation, they’re often linked. For example:
Low testosterone can contribute to both ED and hair thinning.
Chronic stress or metabolic issues like obesity and diabetes can impact hormonal health and sexual function.
A poor lifestyle, lack of exercise, poor diet, and inadequate sleep can accelerate all three problems.
Rather than addressing just one symptom, we focus on identifying the root cause and building a plan that supports your long-term wellness.
