Men's Health Services
at Lani City Medical
Men often put their health on the back burner, prioritizing work, family, and other responsibilities over their own wellbeing. At Lani City Medical, we understand the unique health challenges men face and provide comprehensive men's health services designed to fit your busy life. Our Board Certified physicians at our Chino, Rialto, Rancho Cucamonga, and Riverside locations offer confidential, respectful care that addresses sensitive health concerns in a comfortable environment where you can speak openly and receive the attention you deserve.
Why Men's Health Requires Specialized Attention
Men experience distinct health risks and conditions that require knowledgeable, focused care. Heart disease, certain cancers, hormonal changes, and sexual health concerns affect men differently than women, yet many men receive less preventive care and delay seeking treatment for troubling symptoms. This tendency to avoid healthcare can allow manageable conditions to progress into serious problems.
Our men's health services address this gap by providing accessible, efficient care that respects your time and priorities. Founded in 2019 by Dr. Lalwani and Dr. Khemlani, Lani City Medical was established to fill a void for credible healthcare centers that provide consistent, efficient, and honest care. We bring that same commitment to our men's health services, creating a practice where men feel comfortable discussing concerns they might otherwise ignore.
At Lani City Medical, you are not just a number. We take time to understand your health history, lifestyle, and goals, building relationships that improve the quality of your care over time. Most patients are in and out of our clinics in less than 60 minutes, receiving thorough attention without wasting valuable time in waiting rooms.
Testosterone and Hormone Evaluation
Understanding Testosterone's Role in Men's Health
Testosterone is the primary male hormone, influencing muscle mass, bone density, fat distribution, red blood cell production, mood, energy levels, and sexual function. While testosterone levels naturally decline with age, some men experience more significant drops that noticeably affect their quality of life. Recognizing and addressing low testosterone is an important aspect of men's health that our providers are equipped to handle.
- Symptoms of low testosterone can be subtle and easily attributed to aging, stress, or other factors. Common signs include persistent fatigue, decreased energy and motivation, reduced muscle mass and strength, increased body fat, mood changes including irritability or depression, difficulty concentrating, and diminished interest in sexual activity. When these symptoms interfere with daily life, evaluation of testosterone levels can provide valuable insights.
- Our men's health services include comprehensive hormone evaluation to assess whether testosterone or other hormonal factors may be contributing to your symptoms. We take time to discuss what you are experiencing, review your medical history, and determine whether testing is appropriate for your situation.
Testing and Treatment Considerations
If hormone evaluation is warranted, our on site laboratory allows us to check testosterone levels and related markers during your visit. We measure total testosterone as well as other factors that provide context for interpreting results. This thorough approach to men's health ensures we understand the complete picture before making recommendations.
- When testosterone levels are genuinely low and causing symptoms, treatment options exist that can help restore energy, mood, and function. However, testosterone therapy is not appropriate for everyone and carries potential risks that must be weighed against benefits. Our men's health providers discuss these considerations thoroughly, helping you make informed decisions about whether treatment is right for you.
- For men who are not candidates for testosterone therapy or prefer other approaches, we discuss lifestyle modifications that can naturally support healthy hormone levels. Exercise, sleep optimization, stress management, and nutrition all influence testosterone production and may improve symptoms without medication.
Prostate Screening and PSA Testing
Protecting Prostate Health
The prostate gland is a key component of men's health that requires attention as you age. Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers among men, yet it is often highly treatable when detected early. Prostate screening, including PSA (prostate specific antigen) testing, helps identify potential problems before they become advanced.
- PSA is a protein produced by the prostate gland, and elevated levels can indicate various prostate conditions including cancer, benign enlargement, or inflammation. Our men's health services include PSA testing as part of appropriate preventive care, helping you stay informed about your prostate health status.
- The decision to undergo prostate screening involves weighing benefits against potential risks of overdiagnosis and unnecessary treatment. Current guidelines emphasize shared decision making, where providers and patients discuss individual risk factors and preferences before proceeding with testing. Our men's health approach honors this model, ensuring you understand the implications of screening and make choices aligned with your values.
Comprehensive Prostate Health Evaluation
Beyond PSA testing, our men's health services address the full spectrum of prostate concerns. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or enlarged prostate, commonly affects men as they age and can cause bothersome urinary symptoms including frequent urination, weak stream, difficulty starting urination, and incomplete bladder emptying.
- We evaluate these symptoms, discuss their impact on your quality of life, and recommend appropriate management strategies. Treatment options for BPH range from lifestyle modifications and medications to referrals for procedures when conservative measures prove insufficient. Our comprehensive approach to men's health ensures you receive guidance tailored to your specific situation.
- Prostatitis, or prostate inflammation, is another condition affecting men's health that we diagnose and treat. This condition can cause pelvic pain, urinary symptoms, and sexual dysfunction. Our providers identify the underlying cause and recommend appropriate treatment to relieve your symptoms.
Erectile Dysfunction and Sexual Health
Addressing Sexual Health Concerns
Sexual health is a vital component of overall men's health and quality of life, yet many men find it difficult to discuss these concerns with healthcare providers. At Lani City Medical, we create a comfortable, confidential environment where you can speak openly about sexual health issues. Our providers approach these conversations professionally and without judgment, recognizing that sexual function concerns deserve the same attention as any other health matter.
- Erectile dysfunction (ED) affects millions of men and becomes more common with age, though it can occur at any adult stage. While occasional difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection is normal, persistent problems warrant medical evaluation. ED often signals underlying health issues including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hormonal imbalances, or psychological factors that benefit from attention.
- Our men's health evaluation of erectile dysfunction includes thorough discussion of your symptoms, medical history, medications, and lifestyle factors. We may recommend laboratory testing to check for conditions that commonly contribute to ED, including diabetes, low testosterone, and thyroid disorders. This comprehensive approach ensures we address root causes rather than just treating symptoms.
Treatment Options and Ongoing Support
Treatment for erectile dysfunction depends on underlying causes and your individual circumstances. For many men, oral medications provide effective relief and can restore satisfying sexual function. Our men's health providers can prescribe appropriate medications and explain how to use them safely and effectively. Our in house pharmacy offers medications for as little as $10, making treatment accessible and affordable.
- When medications alone are insufficient or contraindicated, we discuss alternative approaches and can refer you to specialists for advanced treatment options. Some men benefit from addressing contributing factors like weight management, smoking cessation, or treatment of underlying conditions. Our men's health approach considers all these factors in developing your care plan.
- We also recognize that sexual health concerns often carry emotional weight, affecting relationships and self esteem. Our providers offer supportive guidance and can recommend counseling resources when psychological factors contribute to sexual dysfunction.
Weight Management and Metabolic Wellness
The Connection Between Weight and Men's Health
Maintaining healthy weight is crucial for men's health, influencing cardiovascular risk, diabetes likelihood, hormone levels, joint health, and even sexual function. Excess weight, particularly abdominal fat, increases the risk of numerous conditions that affect longevity and quality of life. Our men's health services include comprehensive weight management support to help you achieve and maintain optimal weight.
- Men often struggle with weight management due to demanding schedules, work related stress, and eating habits developed over years. Crash diets and extreme exercise programs rarely produce lasting results and can actually harm health. Our approach to men's health emphasizes sustainable changes that fit your lifestyle and produce gradual, maintainable progress.
- We begin with thorough evaluation of factors affecting your weight, including metabolism, hormones, medications, sleep patterns, stress levels, and eating behaviors. This comprehensive assessment ensures our men's health recommendations address your individual situation rather than applying generic advice that may not work for you.
Metabolic Health Assessment and Support
Metabolic wellness extends beyond weight to encompass how your body processes energy, regulates blood sugar, manages cholesterol, and controls blood pressure. These interconnected factors collectively determine your metabolic health and significantly influence your risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Our men's health services address metabolic wellness comprehensively.
- We use on site laboratory testing to evaluate metabolic markers including fasting glucose, hemoglobin A1C, lipid panel, and other relevant indicators. Understanding your current metabolic status helps us identify areas requiring attention and track improvement over time. This data driven approach to men's health ensures recommendations are based on objective measures rather than guesswork.
- Treatment plans may include nutritional guidance tailored to men's needs, physical activity recommendations appropriate for your fitness level and health status, stress management strategies, and when appropriate, medications to support weight loss or address metabolic conditions. Our men's health providers work with you as partners, adjusting approaches based on your progress and challenges.
Creating a Men's Health Partnership
Building Long Term Relationships
Effective men's health care requires ongoing partnership between you and your healthcare provider. Conditions like hormonal changes, prostate health, and metabolic wellness require monitoring over time, with treatments adjusted as your needs evolve. Having a primary care provider who knows your history and understands your goals improves the quality of this ongoing care.
At Lani City Medical, we emphasize relationship building with our men's health patients. We remember your concerns from previous visits, track your progress, and celebrate improvements with you. This continuity creates trust that makes it easier to discuss sensitive topics and ensures nothing falls through the cracks.
