The Man Issue

The men in our lives hold a special place in our hearts. They’re the bug-killers, high-shelf reachers, human pillows and monster-under-the-bed checkers. But that doesn’t mean men don’t need pampering, too. This section is all about the men and how to enhance their lives. Whether it’s with a cold brew or fresh shave, the following businesses know how to cater to those with a Y chromosome.

Most men tend to put off going to the doctor. However, as an experienced urologist with Florida Urology Associates, Cletus R. Georges, M.D., FACS, encourges his male patients to make regular doctor visits for two important reasons. First, many urological disorders can arise in men as they age, including incontinence, kidney stones, prostate cancer and erectile dysfunction. Regular screenings ensure early detection and treatment. Also, “well visits” are a perfect time to bring up any lingering health concerns patients may have and get them addressed by a medical professional. So, ask away — and feel better!
