(StatePoint) American men may be neglecting their health and wellness, particularly when it comes to their urological health. But an open line of communication between men and their healthcare providers, and among family members, can lead to better care. A Cleveland Clinic survey found that only 3 out of 5 men get annual physicals and 55% do not get regular health screenings.
What’s more, many men shy away from the subject of their health, with 77% reporting that they don’t know their complete family history when it comes to urological issues. “There is a clear need to fill care gaps and destigmatize men’s health issues,” says Shaun Noorian, CEO and founder of Empower Health, a compounding pharmacy that supports patients with men’s health concerns such as testosterone, sexual wellness, prostate health and gynecomastia. Fortunately, innovations in the health care industry that are expanding access to tailored care are helping fill these gaps and helping health care providers support their patients’ needs more effectively.
Noorian’s own story shows how a compounding pharmacy helped him optimize his health. His doctor recommended compounded medications after a health and wellness check of his hormones. The compounded medications provided the exact dosage and strength prescription he needed, which can’t always be found through traditional medicines.
But compounding goes beyond hormones. Noorian discovered it could also address various men’s health concerns lik.
