About the Program
When you have car trouble you go to an expert - a mechanic. But do you visit the doctor when your body sends warning signals? In fact, a recent national survey found 84 percent of men say they've had their car serviced in the past year. But only 66 percent of these men have had an annual check-up with a doctor in the same period. Men notice when their car doesn't perform properly, but don't listen when their body tells them it's time to see a doctor. The National Testosterone Tune-Up was created by the Men's Health Network (MHN) to help jumpstart men's health maintenance. This summer, thousands of physicians will speak with men about low sex drive, erectile dysfunction, fatigue, depression, reduced muscle mass and strength, increased body fat and decreased bone mineral density - all signs of low T. The doctor-patient discussion may point to other illnesses or lifestyle issues. You may even learn your low testosterone levels are related to other conditions, such as obesity or diabetes. A simple blood test is needed to diagnose the condition. Click here for more information about low T. The National Testosterone Tune-Up makes it easy for you to learn more about your risks for low T by offering a free self-assessment you can complete and take to your next doctor appointment. You can download the self assessment here. About the Men's Health Network Founded in 1992 MHN is a Washington, DC-based nonprofit educational organization composed of physicians, researchers, public health workers and other health professionals. MHN is committed to improving the health and wellness of men through education campaigns, data collection and work with health care providers to offer better programs and funding on men's health needs. One of MHN's proudest accomplishments was advocating for the congressional passage of National Men's Health Week, which was signed into law on May 31, 1994, and is recognized annually as the week leading up to and including Father's Day.
