Men’s Health

Real heroes take care of their health

To your family, you’re invincible. You carry the weight of their worlds on your shoulders. You help them defeat the monsters under the bed.

But real strength isn’t about pushing through, it’s about knowing when you need to protect yourself.

Guard your health like it matters, because it does

When it comes to your health, sometimes waiting until something doesn’t feel right isn’t the best approach. Issues can build up over time, causing more symptoms and making treatment harder.

Health conditions that commonly affect men include:

Back Pain

Back problems affect around 16.4% of Australian men.

And while you may not think your back problems are a big issue now, 72% of people with back problems live with one or more other chronic conditions.

Plus, back problems can have a big impact on your life, increasing pain, decreasing activity and reducing your participation in social and work activities.*

Heart Conditions

Acute coronary events (including heart attack and unstable angina) occurred 2.2 times more in men than women in 2023.*

On top of that, stroke occured 1.4 times as much in males than females.**

Knowing the symptoms, your risk and getting regular checks is vital to protecting your heart health.

Lung Cancer

Lung cancer was the fifth most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australia in 2021.* And is often diagnosed at the later stages when treatment is more difficult. Regular checks (whether you have symptoms or not) can help you find things before they become big issues.

Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer made up 28% of all cancer diagnoses in Australian men in 2024.*

While prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers, the good news is that when prostate cancer is found early, the survival rate is 96%.**

Testicular Conditions

Conditions such as testicular cancer and varicoceles can significantly impact your health.

Testicular cancer is more common in younger men, and is the second most commonly diagnose cancer for men aged 20-39 (excluding non-melanoma skin cancer).*

Bone Conditions

Osteoporosis isn’t just a concern for women. Men are also at risk, particularly as they age and the bones naturally lost their strength.

Scrotal Ultrasound

Ultrasound imaging of the scrotum provides valuable anatomical and pathological information about the testes, epididymis and scrotum using high-frequency ultrasound, which is safe and painless. Ultrasound is typically used to assess the cause of pain, swelling, infertility or a palpable lump. In babies and infants, ultrasound can search for undescended testes.

Sudden onset of pain in the scrotum is a serious condition that should be investigated immediately to rule out testicular torsion, when the spermatic cord twists and reduces blood supply to the scrotum. Testicular torsion requires immediate surgery to avoid any permanent damage to the torted testis.

Breast Imaging

Although breast cancer is a rare condition in men, Lake Imaging provides a comprehensive breast imaging service for both men and women. The same level of privacy and expert care is provided to men, who could get breast cancer and might need diagnostic testing. If you notice any unusual signs or symptoms, such as a breast lump, speak to your doctor about your concerns.

Bone, Muscle & Tendon Imaging

We offer a range of musculoskeletal scans and interventional procedures to identify and treat the source of your pain.

Additionally, we offer DEXA Bone Density scans to assess your bone health and help you take steps to ensure your bones stay healthy.

Lung Cancer Screening

In collaboration with Chest Scan, we provide free low-dose chest CT scans as part of the National Lung Cancer Screening Program.

If you’re not eligible to for the program, there are still scanning options to assess the health of your lungs.

Importance of Early Detection

ENHANCED OUTCOMES

Early diagnosis of health conditions such as cancer, heart disease, and diabetes significantly improves the chances of successful treatment. For example, prostate cancer detected at an early stage has a much higher survival rate compared to cases diagnosed at a later stage.

PREVENTATIVE HEALTH

Routine screenings and early diagnosis allow for the identification of potential health issues before they become serious. This proactive approach can prevent the development of chronic conditions, leading to better overall health and quality of life.

QUALITY OF LIFE

Early detection and treatment of health issues can greatly enhance a man’s quality of life. Managing conditions early helps prevent symptoms from becoming severe and allows men to maintain a more active and fulfilling lifestyle. This includes being able to engage in physical activities, maintain social connections, and continue working without the burden of untreated health problems.

Taking care of your health is a heroic act

Looking after your health is not only about you. It is about the people who rely on you each day. The ones asking for help with homework, the ones kicking the footy in the backyard, and the familiar faces waiting at the school gate.

Lake Imaging offers a comprehensive range of services designed to support the unique healthcare needs of men.

Our subspecialised radiologists bring extensive experience in men’s imaging and continue to advance their expertise through ongoing professional development. Working closely with referring practitioners, they deliver safe, accurate and personalised care for every patient.
