From routine physicals and preventive care to specialized care for conditions that uniquely affect men, SIU Medicine provides individualized care to men of all ages. 

    Our approach to men’s health

    At SIU Medicine, we specialize in all aspects of men’s health, including preventive medicine through family medicine and general internal medicine, urological care, surgical and non-surgical options for weight management, cancer prevention and care, infertility and reproductive health care and the management of complex chronic health conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes and kidney stones. 

    SIU Medicine is home to an academic medical community, meaning our health care providers are also researchers and teachers. We are determinedly investigating better diagnostic tools, preventive measures, and treatment modalities.
