NEXT GENERATION

Men’s Health

Section Editor: Martin M. Miner, MD

Around the world, men die an average of 6 years earlier than women, and the mortality rate for men is higher than for women in 12 out of 15 leading causes of death. Health outcomes among boys and men are substantially worse than among girls and women. Men engage in riskier behavior, are less likely to practice preventative health measures, and more likely to avoid important screenings.

I am Martin M. Miner, MD, a primary care physician and internationally recognized expert in the field of improving longevity and quality of life for men. I have curated the Grand Rounds in Urology Next Generation Men’s Health Learning Center in order to educate PCPs, urologists, oncologists, and APPs who work with men on the latest clinical research and practice for addressing the needs of this population. Topics covered andrology and sexual health; Peyronie’s disease; male infertility; health, exercise, and wellness; BPH and other prostate conditions; and urinary incontinence I hope you find this resource valuable for improving outcomes for your patients.
