Fear of finding out?
The “fear of finding out” about the severity of a health issue can affect men’s health. At Mullumbimby Comprehensive Health Centre, our GPs are well versed on all issues affecting men’s health and are supportive in using preventative health strategies to screen for early detection and treatment, which reduces the likelihood of illness and disease. Our services cover sexual difficulty in men, male-pattern baldness, prostate cancer and when men are feeling the ‘blues’.

Prostate Cancer Detection
Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer diagnosed in men in Australia and the third most common cause of cancer death. One in seven men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer by the age of 85. It is more common in older men, with 63% of cases diagnosed in men over 65 years of age. From 2020, all Australians aged 50 to 74 will be offered free prostate testing every two years. If you have any factors like family history, inflammation or pain or difficulty passing urine it may increase your risk of prostate cancer, please talk to your doctor about regular surveillance. Early detection greatly increases the treatment options and ongoing health outcomes.
Men's Mental Health
Many men often feel isolated when it comes to their feelings and may feel like they need to bottle things up and show that they are ‘capable and coping’ rather than acknowledging their struggles emotionally and seeking help. Men make up an average six out of every eight suicides every single day in Australia. On average, one in eight men will experience depression and one in five men will experience anxiety at some stage in their life.
Those in need can reach out to us for comprehensive mental health support.
Your Test Results
Your doctor will advise when they expect the results of any tests or radiography to arrive at the practice. You will need to make a follow up appointment with your doctor to discuss your results.
Reception staff cannot give results out over the phone or via email. Please book an appointment with a GP to discuss your results. This may be in person or via telehealth.
We appreciate your understanding in this matter.
