FAQs

Questions & doctor-visit checklist

When I go to meet with a doctor, what question will I ask?

A short list of questions can help you make better use of a consultation, whether you are discussing urinary symptoms, fertility, hormones or another health concern.

  1. What are the likely causes of my symptoms, and which urgent problems must be ruled out?
  2. What information about my history, medicines and symptoms should I bring?
  3. Which investigations might help, and why might some tests not be needed?
  4. What are the reasonable management options and their benefits, limitations and risks?
  5. What symptoms or changes should prompt urgent medical attention?
  6. What follow-up is appropriate, and what should I monitor or record beforehand?
Open the preparation tool (opens in a new tab)

The preparation tool is a separate site designed mainly for people who have already booked a call. You do not need to book anything to use the questions above.

What is the purpose of this resource library?

It gathers general educational material on men's health in one place, so you can read at your own pace and prepare better questions for a qualified clinician.

Can an article diagnose my condition?

No. Articles explain general principles only. A diagnosis needs your full history, an examination and, where appropriate, tests by a qualified clinician.

Where can I browse all blogs and medical guides?

The independent Men's Health Blog has a searchable catalogue: browse all articles (opens in a new tab).

When should I seek urgent medical care?

Seek prompt local medical care for sudden severe pain (for example in the testicle, abdomen or flank), inability to pass urine, fever with urinary symptoms, visible blood in the urine, an erection lasting more than four hours, or any symptom that is severe or rapidly worsening.

How do I find information about consultations?

See the consultation information page (opens in a new tab).

Where can I see privacy and editorial policies?
