A dedicated Baldivis men’s health clinic
Men often put their health last, especially when symptoms feel minor or hard to explain. At Baldivis Family Medical Centre, our men’s health services in Baldivis are designed to support men who want clear, practical guidance without judgement or pressure.
Our GPs understand that many men:
- Have not seen a doctor in years
- Are unsure what to ask for in a health check
- Want reassurance or a baseline rather than treatment
- Prefer straightforward, outcome-focused conversations
We aim to make men’s health appointments approachable, confidential and focused on what matters most to you.
When to see a men’s health doctor in Baldivis
You do not need to wait for a major problem to develop. Seeing a Baldivis men’s health doctor may be appropriate if you:
- Want a general men’s health review or preventive check
- Have a family history of heart disease, diabetes, prostate or bowel cancer
- Feel persistently tired, low in energy, or run down
- Experience changes in mood, motivation, stress tolerance or sleep
- Notice urinary symptoms such as increased frequency, urgency or weak stream
- Have concerns about sexual health, erections, libido or fertility
- Want advice on weight, fitness, alcohol intake or smoking
- Are returning to regular GP care after a long gap
What happens during a men’s health appointment
A men’s health appointment is structured around conversation first, then targeted assessment. Your Men’s GP in Baldivis will take time to understand your health in context.
This may include:
- Discussion of symptoms, lifestyle, work demands and sleep
- Review of personal and family medical history
- Physical observations such as blood pressure and weight where appropriate
- Consideration of screening based on age and risk factors
- Planning follow-up, referrals or monitoring if needed
For men eligible for structured preventive reviews, your GP may recommend health assessments to support early detection and risk reduction.
Preventive health and long-term risk assessment
Preventive care is a core part of men’s health. Your GP can help assess and monitor:
- Cardiovascular risk including blood pressure and cholesterol
- Risk factors for type 2 diabetes
- Weight-related health risks
- Lifestyle contributors such as diet, alcohol use, smoking and inactivity
Where ongoing support is needed, care can be coordinated through chronic disease management to support long-term health goals.
Prostate health and urinary concerns
Prostate health becomes increasingly relevant with age, but symptoms can occur earlier. Your GP can help assess:
- Changes in urinary habits
- Night-time urination or weak stream
- Personal prostate cancer risk based on age and family history
- Whether PSA testing is appropriate for you
These discussions are individualised, allowing you to make informed decisions based on benefits, limitations and personal risk.
Sexual health, fertility and contraception for men
Sexual health concerns are common and can be discussed confidentially. Men’s health appointments may include:
- STI testing and sexual health screening
- Erectile or performance concerns
- Reduced libido or hormonal questions
- Fertility discussions and preconception health
- Contraception options, including vasectomy
If you are considering permanent contraception, your GP can explain options and referral pathways. You may also wish to read vasectomy (no blade, no stitches) for further information.
Mental health, stress and emotional wellbeing
Stress, anxiety and low mood can affect physical health, sleep, relationships and work performance. Men often experience these symptoms differently and may delay seeking help.
Your GP can support you with:
- Early identification of mental health concerns
- Practical stress management strategies
- Mental health care planning where appropriate
- Referrals to additional services when needed
Further support is available through mental health services.
Lifestyle support that fits real life
Lifestyle advice is most effective when it is realistic. Your GP can provide guidance tailored to your circumstances, including:
- Nutrition and sustainable weight management
- Exercise planning based on fitness level and injuries
- Sleep improvement strategies
- Reducing harmful alcohol intake
- Smoking cessation support
The focus is on achievable changes rather than unrealistic targets.

Frequently Asked Questions About Men’s Health
Do I need symptoms to book a men’s health appointment?

How long should I book for a men’s health check?
If you have multiple concerns or want a comprehensive review, booking a longer appointment is recommended.

Is everything discussed confidential?
Yes. Men’s health consultations are confidential, and sensitive topics are handled respectfully and professionally.
When should men start thinking about prostate health?
Prostate health discussions usually begin as men get older or earlier if there is a family history or urinary symptoms. Your GP can advise what is appropriate for you.
Can I talk to a GP about sexual or mental health concerns?
Yes. Sexual health and mental wellbeing are key components of men’s health and can be discussed openly and confidentially.
