Men’s Guide to Wellness: Jump-Start Your
Just as even the best cars need maintenance, men need regular care
and checkups to keep their bodies working smoothly. Particularly in
areas like the reproductive system and heart, guys can face health
risks unique to their gender. But, by paying attention to medical
tune-ups, men can help ensure a lifetime of wellness – including good
physical, mental and sexual performance.
Start With Primary Care
All men should have a primary care physician to oversee basic health
needs. Even healthy men should have regular primary-care visits to
catch any problems early – every two years if
under 40, annually after that.
“The conversation between doctor and patient
is often the most important part of the routine
visit,” says Daniel J. Hyman, DO, Head of the
Division of General Internal Medicine at Cooper
University Health Care.
“We discuss what’s bothering them – whether its
knee pain, heart symptoms, obesity, sexual
difficulties or some other concerns,” says Dr.
Hyman. “I can then start helping them address
these issues.”
Your primary care physician also will steer you
to important preventive services. These include
screening tests for common conditions – from diabetes to
heart disease to colon cancer – and vaccines that prevent
dangerous illnesses, like the flu, pneumonia and tetanus.
(See the screening tests chart on page 3.)
If a problem is found, your doctor may order more tests, start
you on a treatment plan or refer you to a specialist. The exact
course will depend on the issue and the level of care needed.
Two of the most common types of specialists seen by men
are urologists, who deal with the male reproductive system
and urinary tract, and cardiologists, who address issues
related to the heart and blood vessels.
Protect Sexual and Urinary Health
Men can face a variety of urologic issues, including:
• Erectile dysfunction – difficulty getting or keeping
an erection.
• Low testosterone level.
• Prostate diseases, such as enlarged prostate,
infection or cancer.
Erectile dysfunction (ED) can have several possible causes, which
may be linked to other health issues.
“It’s very important for men with ED to get
tested for any potential underlying problems,”
says Allen D. Seftel, MD, Head of Cooper’s
Division of Urology. “The earlier we catch
conditions like diabetes and heart disease, the
better we can protect men’s health.”
In men under 40, for instance, ED is often
triggered by diabetes, which can damage the
nerves and blood vessels that enable erections.
Other causes can include Peyronie’s disease –
a curve in the penis that typically results from
injury. In older men, notes Dr. Seftel, ED can
be a sign of clogged blood vessels, which can
lead to a heart attack or stroke.
If a man has ED, he should first see his primary care physician for a
comprehensive evaluation. If any heart-related results appear abnormal,
he may be referred to a cardiologist for more testing or treatment.
“Low testosterone, which can naturally start around age 40, may
also cause ED. In such cases, a healthier lifestyle can work wonders,”
says Dr. Seftel, “Losing excess weight, exercising regularly, eating
a heart-healthy diet and quitting smoking can reverse some ED
and low testosterone.”
(Continues on next page)
Heart disease is the
No.1 killer, causing
one in every four
male deaths –
including many
with no previous
symptoms.

(Continues from previous page)
Drugs, such as Viagra and Cialis, can also help men with ED.
Low testosterone can have other effects, too, including loss of
strength, energy and sex drive. Men must weigh the risks and
benefits of treatment, which involves taking replacement hormones.
“It depends on what the man wants and how much his symptoms
bother him,” says Dr. Seftel.
An enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH) is also a
normal part of men’s aging process. As the prostate expands, it can
cause urination and bladder problems.
If a man has BPH symptoms – such as a weak urine stream or waking
at night to urinate – he should be tested to rule out a urinary tract
infection, kidney or bladder stones or prostate cancer.
As with low testosterone, whether to treat BPH is usually a matter
of personal preference. However, in men with BPH and ED, a low
daily dose of Cialis often is effective to treat both conditions.
Moreover, a healthy lifestyle may help stave off BPH.
Prostatitis, an infection of the prostate, becomes more likely as men
age. It’s important to treat it early – typically with antibiotics – before
it worsens or causes other health problems.
Prostate cancer, the second most common form of cancer among
men, can often be treated successfully. However, screening is contro-
versial, and men should discuss the pros and cons with their doctor.
If a man chooses to be screened, he should start regular prostate-
specific antigen (PSA) blood tests at age 50; earlier for African
Americans and those with a close relative who had prostate cancer.
If a man has an elevated PSA level, he may require further testing.
A new type of prostate biopsy technology, MRI-targeted fusion
biopsy, is helping doctors more accurately find prostate cancer.
The Cooper Urologic Institute is one of just a few area centers to
offer this breakthrough.
Safeguard Your Heart
Heart disease is the No.1 killer, causing one in every four male
deaths – including many with no previous symptoms. The good news
is that men can protect their heart health by taking these steps:
• Adopt a heart-healthy lifestyle, including 45 minutes of walking
(or a comparable activity) most days, a balanced diet (such as the
Mediterranean diet), loss of excess weight, no smoking and
limited alcohol.
• Visit your primary care physician for regular screenings, including
blood pressure and cholesterol.
• See a primary care physician or a cardiologist if you have multiple
risks for heart disease, such as diabetes, obesity, high cholesterol
and smoking; or heart symptoms, such as chest pain or shortness
of breath.
If your doctor prescribes heart medication that interferes with your
sexual activity, speak up, advises Fredric L. Ginsberg, MD, Interim
Co-Director of the Cooper Heart Institute.
“Different medications can be substituted that won’t cause erectile
dysfunction,” says Dr. Ginsberg. “Don’t just stop taking your heart
medicine.”
Men with heart disease can usually be treated effectively enough to
safely enjoy normal sexual functioning and other physical activities,
Dr. Ginsberg notes.
Remember, you wouldn’t expect your car to run indefinitely without
visits to the mechanic. Take that same approach to your body so
that you, too, can go the distance.
Cooper primary care physicians, urologists and cardiologists have
offices throughout South Jersey. To find a doctor or make an

When faced with a diagnosis of breast cancer,
a significant family history of breast cancer or
other breast concern, women turn to breast
surgeons for answers, recommendations and
reassurance.
Finding the right breast surgeon – someone
who you can connect with, who understands
your needs, and who is skilled in the most
advanced surgical treatment options for
breast cancer and other breast issues – can
help you make the best treatment choices
and move forward with confidence.
At MD Anderson Cancer Center at Cooper,
our breast surgeons are part of our multidis-
ciplinary team of breast cancer experts. They
work closely with their colleagues in medical
oncology, radiation oncology, plastic and
reconstructive surgery, pathology and
radiology, and with members of the
supportive care services team, to provide
complete, comprehensive breast care –
from diagnosis and staging, treatment,
recovery and survivorship, to caring for
patients at high risk for breast cancer.
Advanced practice nurses, also known as
nurse practitioners (NPs), are valuable
members of the cancer care teams at MD
Anderson Cooper and are integral members
of both the Janet Knowles Breast Cancer
Center and the Breast Cancer Risk Assess-
ment Program. Their scope of practice allows
them to see patients independently or in
collaboration with a physician or surgeon
in the inpatient and outpatient setting. At
MD Anderson Cooper, nurse practitioners
work in radiation oncology, medical oncology,
breast surgery and other surgical services, on
the cancer outreach team, and on all cancer
disease-site teams.
“Our breast surgery team is one of the largest
and most skilled in the region,” says Kristin
L. Brill, MD, Head of the Section of Breast
Surgery and Director of the Janet Knowles
Breast Cancer Center at MD Anderson
Cooper. “For patients with a cancer diagnosis
or other breast concerns requiring surgery,
we provide advanced treatment options and
compassionate care – welcoming patients as
partners in the decision-making process.”
With offices in Voorhees, Camden and Egg
Harbor Township, NJ, women (and men)
needing a consultation with a breast surgeon
can have access to our experienced team,
close to home.
Advanced Imaging Services
“Because screening mammography is so
important in identifying breast cancer at the
earliest, most treatable stages – it is vital that
women get regular breast screenings and

choose a breast imaging center with the high-
est level of clinical expertise and advanced screen-
ing and diagnostic technologies,” says Dr. Brill.
At MD Anderson Cooper, the following
guidelines are recommended for breast
cancer screening. Additional screening
modalities may be recommended based on
a woman’s individual risk.
• Women at average risk for breast cancer
should obtain an annual screening
mammogram and clinical breast exam
beginning at age 40 and continuing as
long as she has a 10-year life expectancy.
Annual mammographic screening yields
a larger mortality reduction than does
less frequent screening.
• The clinical breast exam will remain as
part of practice. It is strongly felt that the
clinical encounter is critical to ensure
breast cancer risk assessment; and healthy
lifestyle recommendations are conducted.
When breast cancer is diagnosed through early
detection, there is an excellent survival rate with
nine-out-of-10 women living past five years.
MD Anderson Cooper breast surgeons work
very closely with the imaging experts at the
Cooper Breast Imaging Centers, ensuring that
women who have a suspicious finding on a
screening mammogram receive a thorough
evaluation and access to the most advanced
diagnostic imaging and testing available.
The physicians and technicians provide the
latest in:
• Digital screening and diagnostic imaging,
including 2D mammography and
3D tomosynthesis.
• Contrast-enhanced spectral mammography.
• Breast ultrasound and ultrasound-guided biopsy.
• MRI and MRI-guided biopsy.
• Fine needle aspiration.
• Stereotactic biopsy.
• Ductography.
Cooper’s Breast Imaging Centers are
conveniently located in Voorhees, Camden
and Cherry Hill, NJ, and offer both evening
and weekend hours.
Breast Cancer Risk
Assessment Program
The average lifetime risk of breast cancer for
American women is one in seven; however,
the likelihood of developing breast cancer
increases significantly in women who have
certain risk factors. The MD Anderson
Cooper Breast Cancer Risk Assessment
Program helps women understand and
manage their risk for breast cancer.
Our breast surgery team works closely with
MD Anderson Cooper medical oncologists
specializing in breast cancer and our cancer
genetics experts to evaluate a woman’s risk
and develop a customized program for those
women identified as being at high risk.
“The Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Program
provides women at high risk with close
physician monitoring and personalized
recommendations for breast cancer
prevention including chemoprevention,
surgery and nutrition and lifestyle counseling,
as well as access to innovative breast cancer
prevention clinical trials,” says Dr. Brill.
Services may include:
• Breast cancer risk assessment.
• Clinical breast exam.
• Personalized screening schedules
incorporating advanced diagnostic
technologies.
• Genetic counseling and/or testing.
• Comprehensive prevention strategies.
• Supportive care services.
• Ongoing follow-up care.
The program also offers behavioral health
services and support groups to help women
cope with the emotional impact that being
at high risk can have on their lives.

Integrative Oncology Program Focuses on Optimizing
Cancer Treatment and a Return to Wellness
MD Anderson Cancer Center at Cooper’s new
Integrative Oncology Program combines traditional
treatments with a focus on the three pillars of good
health – nutrition, physical activity and emotional health.
Pallav K. Mehta, MD, a Medical Oncologist and Director
of the Integrative Oncology Program, and co-author of
the book After Cancer Care: The Definitive Self-Care
Guide to Getting and Staying Well for Patients After
Cancer, believes that strengthening the body through
exercise and nutrition and empowering the mind to
manage stress and anxiety can result in optimized
cancer treatment and a return to wellness.
An integrative oncology consultation with Dr. Mehta
can guide cancer patients through diagnosis, treatment
and long-term survivorship with
strength and confidence. Integrative
oncology services can be incorporated
into a patient’s care plan no
matter where they are in their
cancer journey.
An integrative oncology
consultation can help patients with:
• Symptom management.
• Nutrition.
• Understanding the benefits and risks of supplements.
• Exercise and physical activity.
• Physical rehabilitation.
• Emotional health and psychosocial needs.
• Incorporating complementary medicine therapies
into the care plan.

Local Woman Sheds Pounds
and Gains a New Life
A year ago, running 6.2 miles was a challenge
that Laurie of Monroeville, NJ, would never have
imagined taking on. Ninety pounds overweight,
Laurie could barely muster the energy to ascend
a flight of stairs, let alone go out for a run.
For Laurie, 45, completing the Cooper
Norcross Run the Bridge race in November
was a reminder of how far she had come in
the 12 months since she underwent bariatric
surgery for weight loss. Since the surgery,
Laurie has gone from size 20 to size 8 and no
longer deals with chronic headaches or allergies.
Laurie credits the team at Cooper’s Bariatric
and Metabolic Surgery Center, including her
surgeon, Rohit A. Patel, MD, FACS, Director
of the Center for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery
and Head of the Division of Bariatric Surgery, for
helping her to achieve a new lease on life.
Designated as a Bariatric Surgery Center
of Excellence®
by the American Society for
Metabolic Bariatric Surgery, Cooper’s
Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery Center
offers a spectrum of minimally invasive
surgical options, such as minimally
invasive gastric bypass, gastric band
and gastric sleeve, and support services
to help people lead healthier lives.
The Center brings together the exper-
tise of bariatric surgeons who devote
100 percent of their practice to weight-
loss surgery, physician assistants, advanced
practice nurses, dietitians and staff who pro-
vide support and guidance every step of the way.
According to the American Medical
Association, in the U.S. alone, 78 million
If you are about 100 pounds or more
overweight, bariatric surgery may be the
answer to your weight-loss struggles.

adults and 12 million children suffer from
obesity. Obesity is diagnosed when body
mass index exceeds 30.
“Obesity is a problematic disease that puts
people at risk for developing serious
medical conditions like diabetes and
cardiovascular disease,” says Dr. Patel.
“Weight-loss surgery can help reduce this risk
in those, like Laurie, who have struggled using
diet after diet, to lose weight and keep it off.”
The majority of bariatric surgeries performed
in the United States are the laparoscopic
sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), which is what
Laurie underwent. This procedure removes
a large part of the stomach, causing a restric-
tion in how much one can eat and a possible
decrease in appetite. There are two other
popular techniques, the gastric bypass pro-
cedure, which involves reducing a person's
stomach to an egg-sized pouch and connect-
ing it to the lower part of the small intestine;
and the laparoscopic adjustable gastric band,
which is where the surgeon places a band
around the upper part of your stomach to
create a small pouch to hold food.
“Surgery isn’t a cure-all, of course,” advises
Dr. Patel. “After the procedure, patients
must commit to change the way they eat
and are urged to exercise.”
“I’ve been overweight my whole life,” said
Laurie. “I was the healthiest fat person I
knew. But I needed a life change. I don't
regret my decision one bit and would do it
again in a heartbeat.”
