One thing that we are proud of at The Men's Center, in addition to unrivaled expertise, is having a fantastic work environment and a great group of dudes.

Unfortunately, our stellar registered nurse Jay has been offered a managerial role that he cannot say no to. We are incredibly grateful for what Jay brought to The Men's Center. We will miss him terribly but we are also very happy for him. We know he will crush it at his new role just like he did for us.

We are going to restructure some, and are looking for a phlebotomist to work from 7:30 AM to noon five days a week with the possibility of expanding hours. We include paid time off and 401(k) with match when applicable.

We are also looking for a guy who is a certified medical assistant to help primarily on the customer service side but also typical CMA responsibilities. This is 7:30 AM to 4 PM Monday through Thursday and 8 AM to noon on Friday.

Both positions start at $22.50 per hour but terms are negotiable depending upon experience and role.

We would love to have the guys who have experience in the men's health world but we are certainly open to teaching and in fact it's something that we enjoy doing.

Helping men be healthy and happy is our passion and we are looking for guys who share our enthusiasm. Our mission is unrivaled expertise, compassion and humor to help make The Men's Center a comfortable place for men to go for help with sensitive issues.

If you are interested or know anybody who is please have them send a rΓ©sumΓ© to info@the-mens-center.com.

Have a great weekend!

Suboptimal testosterone levels can certainly cause symptoms in some men, including decreased s*x drive, depressed mood, decreased energy, decreased muscle mass, erectile dysfunction, and poor sleep. And for these guys, supplemental testosterone can be a total life changer.

But the truth is a lot of other conditions can cause similar symptoms. Attributing all of these symptoms to low testosterone without looking into other causes is shortsighted and inadequate.

This is coming from a urologist who very much believes in testosterone and has been treating low testosterone for more than 20 years - Be sure you have turned over other stones prior to making the commitment to testosterone therapy. Question the motivation and/or expertise of any provider who wants to put you on testosterone without first doing a thorough evaluation for other causes of your symptoms.

Be careful out there. The men's health/longevity and wellness world is the wild West. Seek out expertise.

I'm not just talking about looking good to the beach - although we all want that. I'm talking about functional strength. The muscle mass that allows us to do important things like stay upright, stay balanced, prevent falls, and protect our bones. But also the muscle mass required to do the things that we love, whether it be gardening, pickleball, cooking or playing with our kids and grandkids.

This requires resistance training, adequate protein intake, a healthy body weight, and adequate hormonal balance.

Avoid sarcopenia! Let us know how we can help you.

This cannot be said enough. Men's health is much more than testosterone and peptides. Men's health is identifying your risks for the "Four Horsemen" - atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, cancer, and neuro-cognitive disease - and mitigating your risk early. This is prevention. At The Men's Center, this is men's health.

No other men's health clinic rivals our expertise when it comes to things like testosterone therapy and s*xual dysfunction. But we realize that we can do so much more to keep guys happy, healthy, productive and present for their families.

We are different than the rest. Check out our reviews or stop on by.

I've said it before, men's health, longevity and wellness clinics, which are almost entirely unregulated, are the wild West. All of these things are a noble pursuit, but the range of actual expertise at these clinics is exceptionally broad. In many cases rather than from scientific data and fundamental knowledge of human physiology, these providers actually take their cues from the reps who sell products or from influencers.

In many cases the providers succumb to the same marketing that they pass along to their patients. Bioidentical testosterone is a perfect example. There is no scientific evidence that it is superior in any way - no safer and no more effective - than synthetic testosterone. In fact because it is much less regulated you're more likely to see variability in bioavailability from pharmacy to pharmacy than with synthetic versions.

I would personally not hesitate from using bioidentical testosterone if that was my only choice, but again there is no evidence that it is a better choice than synthetic testosterone, so don't be drawn in by that marketing strategy.

I recently saw a patient who was on a massive dose of testosterone but only every three weeks. His main complaint was that he had several days prior to his next injection where he felt terrible.

Here is why that regimen makes no sense. Because the dose is so high he's going to have an uber high peak which is not good, but also by the time he hits the end of the three week cycle, will have a level that is on the order of 12% of what he had at the peak. Based upon the pharmacokinetics of testosterone by injection, it doesn't make any sense to do shots so infrequently. It just makes you feel really differently from first week to second week to third week.

It makes a lot more sense to use much smaller individual doses but much more frequently.

At The Men's Center we certainly try to balance patient compliance with safety and efficacy and we have settled in at an average of two injections per week, although for patients who don't mind the needle, reducing the dose and increasing the frequency makes even more sense.

If you have any questions about testosterone therapy reach out to us. As urologist that is one of my specific areas of expertise.

Getting through a prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment is particularly complicated because there are so many options and so many factors that play into the decision. It really helps to have somebody break it all down for you. That's what we do. I have been treating prostate cancer my entire career in urology. I have treated thousands of men with prostate cancer over the years. I received referrals from doctors throughout the region for prostate surgery and guidance. Since leaving corporate medicine in 2022 and opening The Men's Center, I no longer do prostate surgery and I have no skin in the game other than helping you make the decision that is best for you.

I will go through your biopsy report, imaging studies, urology notes, PSA and any other relevant records and sit down with you (and your partner if you wish) for an hour and help coach you through it. We call this prostate cancer coaching and it's a big part of what we do at The Men's Center.

I can also help guide you in terms of which surgeons or medical systems may be the best for your particular case. It is a very personal decision. As I have told patients hundreds of times, I will never tell you what to do but I would be happy to tell you what I would do if I were you.

As a jumping off point and to help generate questions, I am a big fan of Dr. Patrick Walsh's book The Guide to Surviving Prostate Cancer. Check it out especially if you are a reader.

If you know somebody who may be interested in our prostate cancer coaching service, you can reach us at 843-625-4273 by phone or text or through our contact form on our website.

And don't forget about our prostate cancer support group that meets every other month! We can be a great source of information and fellowship for guys going through the journey.

One of the reasons I got out of corporate medicine and into a practice that allowed me to spend more time with patients is the realization that healthcare has become very siloed and even less holistic. Your urologist is not going to have time to discuss your cardiovascular health during your seven minutes with him. But the truth of the matter is that he should. Because ED does not occur in a vacuum. It is not a disease in itself. It is a symptom of a disease. It is typically a symptom of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, the same disease that can cause heart attacks and strokes. In fact erectile dysfunction can be the first warning sign.

This is why just getting put on an ED medication with no discussion of cardiovascular risk factors falls short. For this reason, we address this with all of our new patients with erectile dysfunction. And at our new patient men's health visits we check cholesterol, blood sugar, blood pressure, weight and discuss other risk factors such as smoking and family history. It's not uncommon that we order other blood markers or send patients for such as a calcium score CT scan if we are concerned about cardiovascular risk factors. And it's not uncommon that we find significant heart disease in patients who come to see us for erectile dysfunction.

THIS is men's health.

Many forms of testosterone therapy cause what's called "negative feedback" on the brain, particularly the pituitary gland. This feedback pressure tells the pituitary to stop sending the hormonal signal (LH) to the testicles that normally tells them to make testosterone. And the testicles need testosterone production to induce s***m production.

When the pituitary stops making LH, three things typically happen. First, the testicles may shrink some. Second, the man's own production of testosterone plummets. And third, close to 90% of men make zero s***m starting within six months of beginning testosterone therapy.

There are ways to significantly reduce the risk of these side effects but they should be discussed at the time of starting testosterone. Additionally there are ways to reverse these problems but they can be unpredictable and expensive.

Urologists are experts in infertility as well as testosterone therapy.

It just makes no sense to put yourself at risk by having testosterone provided by somebody without training in infertility and hormone replacement. You live in Charleston. This is a great medical community. There are better options.

Amazingly, I have seen young patients who have been put on testosterone therapy with little to know discussion of implications on fertility.

Why not just a total testosterone?

First, because it's actually the free testosterone level that matters more. Free testosterone is the testosterone that your body can actually utilize. Some men may have normal total testosterone and low free testosterone. For other men it may be the opposite. This is important data when considering treatment.

Checking estrogen level is also critical. We typically check what's known as estradiol. The testosterone to estradiol ratio is very important when considering treatment options.

Luteinizing hormone, or LH, is also a must. The level of LH tells us whether or not low testosterone is the fault of the testicles or the fault of the brain, which normally sends the signal to the testicles telling them how much testosterone to make. You have to know this or you will not be able to adequately counsel a man regarding his options. It makes absolutely no sense not to check this.

Last, prolactin. Men with low testosterone, especially younger men with low testosterone, should be screened for what's known as a prolactinoma, which is a benign tumor of the pituitary gland that increases prolactin but also decreases testosterone production.
I have actually diagnosed dozens of prolactin secreting tumors in the pituitary gland during my career, almost all of which were previously missed.

It is my opinion, and that of any testosterone therapy expert, that treating low testosterone without checking these other labs indicates either lack of understanding or lack of concern. Neither one is desirable.

Just see an expert.

Do you find it curious that if you go to a franchise clinic they only check a testosterone and a PSA. They don't screen for evidence of cardiovascular disease. They don't screen for evidence of metabolic syndrome. They don't look for other causes of your symptoms including diabetes, anemia, vitamin deficiencies, kidney or liver problems. Do they discuss other contributing factors including sleep disorder?

Do they even look at other hormones that may help understand why your testosterone is abnormal? No.

But they do screen for prostate cancer. Do you think this is because they really focus on prostate cancer? No, it's because that is the one thing you have to rule out prior to starting somebody on testosterone therapy which is the basis for their business model.

But what happens when your PSA is abnormal? They're gonna send you to an expert, a urologist. Coincidentally, a urologist happens to be an expert on testosterone therapy. Why not just go straight to the expert for both? Great question.
