Living long and, above all, living well is a bit like putting together a puzzle: we cannot hope to see the complete picture if we ignore some fundamental pieces. Rightly, we focus on nutrition<\/strong>, physical activity<\/strong> and stress management<\/strong>, but we often forget that our body works as a single, interconnected system. It is precisely from this holistic perspective that longevity medicine cannot neglect two fundamental aspects of men’s health: urogenital health<\/b> and sexual<\/b> health. <\/p>\n

The three stages of male prevention<\/h2>\n

Even today, many men tend to go to the doctor only when “something is wrong”<\/i>. But for those who aim to live a long and healthy life, this approach is not only outdated: it is wrong. “Prevention, including andrological prevention, does not only serve to avoid disease, but to optimize the body’s performance over time,” explains Alberto Gheza<\/b>, urologist-andrologist and sexual counselor at SoLongevity Clinic in Milan. “The urological consultation should not be frightening. After an in-depth conversation<\/strong> and the taking of a medical history<\/strong> covering daily habits, any illnesses or family history, we proceed to the physical examination<\/strong>: the patient usually lies on the couch and a general inspection is carried out, followed by palpation of the abdomen and external genitalia. On some occasions, depending on age or if prostate problems are suspected, a rectal examination is finally performed.” <\/p>\n

There are three crucial moments in a man’s life when a “service check” is due, even in the absence of symptoms:<\/b><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Adolescence (18\u201320 years)<\/b>, the first real check-up. It serves to understand whether “the machine” has been assembled correctly. “In this phase we check that there are no conditions, such as phimosis or a <\/i>varicocele<\/i><\/b>, that could create sexual or fertility problems in the future,”<\/i> explains Gheza. It is also the right time for education on contraception and protection. <\/li>\n
  2. Adulthood (30\u201335 years)<\/b>, when it is time to take stock. The check assesses how lifestyle is affecting the health of the urogenital system (and not only) and fertility \u2014 an increasingly hot topic. A consultation at this stage of life can prevent serious problems later on. <\/li>\n
  3. Maturity (from age 50)<\/b>, when a little maintenance is needed. Once past the age of 50, in fact, the prostate <\/b>physiologically begins to change. “The consultation becomes essential to monitor benign prostatic enlargement and, above all, to make an early diagnosis if needed,”<\/i> warns Gheza, who points out that if there have been cases of prostate cancer in the family, PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) <\/b>testing should be brought forward to age 40. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Listening to the body: the warning signs of the urogenital system<\/h2>\n

    Regardless of age, the body sends us signals<\/strong> that should never be ignored. Urination problems<\/strong> (for example urgency to urinate, increased nighttime frequency, weak or interrupted stream, burning, urinary incontinence) are calls for help from our urogenital system. <\/p>\n

    Another symptom to pay particular attention to is erectile dysfunction<\/b>. “We must not see it only as a sexual problem,”<\/i> stresses the specialist. “It is often a ‘warning light’ for our vascular health.”<\/i> <\/p>\n

    Erectile dysfunction, in fact, can precede a major cardiovascular problem by as much as 5 or 10 years. For this reason, taking care of the uro-andrological aspect often means protecting the heart. <\/strong><\/p>\n

    SoLongevity: an integrated approach to men’s health<\/h2>\n

    It is precisely because of this close connection between the urogenital system, the heart and biological aging that andrological assessment has a place in the most advanced longevity pathways.<\/p>\n

    At SoLongevity we have chosen to treat urology not only as a discipline in its own right, but also to integrate it into comprehensive check-ups (such as the AGE360\u00b0 Physiological Check-up<\/a> and AGE360\u00b0 Ultimate Check-up<\/a><\/i> pathways). <\/strong><\/p>\n

    The goal is to cross-reference data: to understand how hormonal and urological health interact with the body’s other systems. Without overlooking the sexual component<\/b>, which has a profound impact on daily life, relationships and emotional balance and which should be considered, to all intents and purposes, the “sixth lifestyle pillar of longevity<\/b>” \u2014 an indispensable pillar for aging while maintaining a high quality of life. <\/p>\n

    Whether it is a matter of prevention or of investigating symptoms, the presence of the andrology specialist in the multidisciplinary team makes it possible to build a tailored pathway for even more complete well-being.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
