17 problems men’s health clinics in Singapore can fix

As we age, men face inevitable issues as their body changes. Some of these changes are easy to spot, while others require an experienced eye and specialised tools to interpret what exactly is happening.

Unlike men from other countries, Singaporean men can face issues stemming from the high-stress, high-expectations work culture. So we’ll specifically understand how these can affect Singaporean men too.

Erectile dysfunction is a huge problem

What was easy in your 20s could become a big problem in your 30s.

Age matters.

If you are finding it harder to achieve or maintain an erection during sexual activity, you’re not alone. While it can occur at any age, it is more common as men get older.

Luckily, treatment is out there.

A survey found that over 60% of Singaporean men aged 50 and above reported experiencing ED.

Interestingly, the prevalence of ED among Singaporean men in their 30s and 40s is also significant, with 47.1% and 42.8%, respectively, reporting experiencing the condition. As men get older, the likelihood of experiencing ED increases, with 64.0% of men in their 50s, 77.4% in their 60s, and 90.0% over 70 experiencing the condition.

This is thought to be due to a combination of factors, including male menopause (andropause), decreased testosterone levels, changes in blood flow to the penis, and the effects of underlying health conditions such as high blood pressure and diabetes.

Erectile dysfunction can be treated with medication, lifestyle changes, and other interventions. Our doctors can help you.

Hair loss affects a lot of Singaporean men

Every man out there will shed hair. Over time, your hair’s regrowth rate will slow down.

If you’re not troubled by it, then it’s all good.

However, if you still have hair, but are slowly losing it, then time is of an essence.

There are several reasons why men may experience hair loss, including genetic factors, stress, hormonal imbalances, and underlying health conditions.

In Singapore, male pattern baldness is a common form of hair loss that affects many men. This type of hair loss is usually hereditary and results in a receding hairline and thinning of hair on the crown of the head.

Fortunately, there are several treatments available to help address hair loss in men.

Some over-the-counter medications and supplements, such as shampoos, promote hair growth and reduce hair loss, but it is important to consult with a doctor before trying any of these treatments.

Prescription medications, such as finasteride and minoxidil, can also be effective in reducing hair loss and promoting hair growth.

The options are wide and varied, so you will need a doctor who can help you

Men’s premature ejaculation results in unsatisfying sex

In NS, if you shoot too early before your officer gives you the command… you’d make someone really unhappy.

Unfortunately, in the bedroom, men can sometimes misfire. This time, though, it’s not your fault.

Premature ejaculation is a type of sexual dysfunction in which a man reaches orgasm and ejaculates within a short time of sexual stimulation, often before or shortly after penetration, with minimal or no control.

It is considered a problem when it occurs consistently and causes distress or frustration in the individual or their partner.

Singapore’s pressure cooker environment might be worsening your PE. Anxiety about finances, stress from work, relationship tensions and mental barriers during sex can result in your premature ejaculation worsening.

Treatment varies significantly based on the issue that needs to be treated. If it’s psychological, sex therapists are an avenue for help.

If it’s physical, then a doctor can recommend lifestyle changes, numbing sprays or medication. You can also try these five natural approaches to prolong sex.

Our doctors can assess and fix your issues.

Male infertility in Singapore

When you decide it’s time to have kids, you might wonder why you’ve been consistently unsuccessful.

Infertility can be troubling for both husband and wife, and it’s important to diagnose where the issue lies, and correct it.

Causes of male infertility in Singapore can vary, including genetic and hormonal imbalances, lifestyle factors such as smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, exposure to environmental toxins, and underlying medical conditions.

Diagnosis typically involves a semen analysis to assess sperm count, motility, and morphology.

Treatment options can include medication, surgery, or assisted reproductive technologies such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).

SIRE offers discreet male fertility testing via home semen analysis.

Blood in semen? You might have hematospermia

If you notice blood in your semen, also known as hematospermia, it can be concerning and uncomfortable.

While this condition is relatively rare, it can occur in Singaporean men due to a range of factors, such as infections, inflammation, or prostate issues.

Even though this condition can be alarming, it is important to stay calm and seek professional help promptly. With the right treatment, hematospermia can be resolved and managed effectively.

Bumps around penis head

Pearly Penile Papules (PPP) or Fordyce spots are a common skin condition that can affect Singaporean men.

These small, harmless bumps usually appear around the head of the penis and can be mistaken for a sexually transmitted infection (STI).

However, PPP or Fordyce spots are not contagious and do not require medical treatment.

While the exact cause of PPP or Fordyce spots is unknown, they are harmless and usually disappear on their own over time.

However, if you are concerned about any changes in your skin, it is always best to consult with a doctor to rule out any other underlying medical conditions.

Penis hurts while having sex

In some cases, experiencing pain or discomfort during sexual intercourse can be caused by a tight or short frenulum, which can lead to a condition called frenulum breve.

Frenulectomy, a minor surgical procedure that involves removing the frenulum, might provide relief from this condition and improve your sexual experience.

Penile Infection

A penile infection can be caused by a range of factors, including sexually transmitted infections, poor hygiene, or underlying medical conditions. Symptoms can include discharge, pain, or itching. You should consult a doctor if you suspect that you have a penile infection.

Can’t ejaculate during sex

Delayed ejaculation, or the inability to ejaculate during sexual activity, can be a frustrating condition for men. This can be caused by a range of factors, including medications, psychological factors, or underlying medical conditions. Treatment options include therapy, medication, or changes in sexual habits.

Testosterone Deficiency Syndrome (TDS)

TDS is a condition in which the body does not produce enough testosterone, leading to a range of symptoms, including low sex drive, fatigue, and decreased muscle mass. Treatment options include testosterone replacement therapy or lifestyle changes. For men around 40, you might be experiencing male menopause (andropause).

Peyronie’s disease (Bent Penis)

Peyronie’s disease is a condition in which the penis becomes curved or bent during erection, often causing pain or discomfort. Treatment options include medication, traction therapy, or surgery.

Prostate health

The prostate is an important gland that is responsible for producing semen. Regular prostate exams can help detect any potential issues, including prostate cancer. Maintaining good prostate health is important for overall sexual and reproductive health.

Adult circumcision

Adult circumcision is a surgical procedure that involves removing the foreskin of the penis. This can be performed for medical, religious, or cultural reasons. Recovery time is typically around two to three weeks.

Some Singaporeans consider getting a circumcision to help with erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation.

Foreskin infection

For people who are uncircumcised, foreskin infections can be caused by a range of factors, including poor hygiene or underlying medical conditions. Symptoms can include pain, swelling, or discharge. See a doctor if you suspect a foreskin infection.

Male Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)

While less common in men than in women, UTIs can occur in men and can be caused by a range of factors, including poor hygiene or underlying medical conditions.

Symptoms can include pain or burning during urination, frequent urination, or fever. A doctor can recommend treatment options, such as antibiotics.

Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI)

STIs are infections that are spread through sexual contact. Common STIs include chlamydia, gonorrhoea, and HIV. It is important to practise safe sex and get regular STI screenings to protect your sexual health.

Anal pap smear

An anal pap smear is a screening test that can help detect potential issues in the anal canal, including HPV or anal cancer. This is a simple and quick test that is recommended for men who engage in anal sex.
