Men’s Health Month: Busting Common Myths and Taking Control of Your Health
June 11 • 2025
In honor of Men’s Health Month, we’re separating fact from fiction to help you take control of your health. There are a lot of myths out there that can prevent men from seeking the care they need, and today, we’re setting the record straight. Let’s dive into some of the most common myths about men’s health and why they just don’t hold up.
Myth 1: “If I feel fine, I must be fine and don’t need to go to the doctor.”
Busted: Just because you’re feeling good doesn’t mean everything’s in the clear. Many health issues, like high blood pressure or high cholesterol, can develop with no obvious symptoms at all.
These “silent” conditions can damage your heart and other organs over time, but the good news is that they’re easily detected during a routine checkup.
Regular visits to your primary care provider can help catch these problems early before they become serious.
Myth 2: “Low testosterone just means I’m getting older.”
Bradley Gaydos, FNP-C says Busted: While testosterone levels naturally decrease as men age, low testosterone isn’t always just part of getting older.
Symptoms like fatigue, low libido, sleep issues, and mood swings could indicate a deeper issue. If you’re feeling off, a simple blood test can help determine if low testosterone is the cause. Addressing the issue early can improve your energy levels, mood, and overall quality of life.
Myth 3: “Heart disease only happens when you’re older.”
Busted: Heart disease doesn’t wait until you’re in your 50s or 60s to show up—it can start developing in your 30s or 40s. Lifestyle factors like diet, stress, exercise, and family history all contribute to your risk of heart disease. Regular checkups and early screenings are key to managing these risks, allowing you to take preventive action before problems arise. It’s never too early to start prioritizing your heart health.
