Introduction & module overview

Men’s health is often under-acknowledged in community pharmacy, particularly when it comes to prostate-related conditions and hormonal well-being.

Pharmacists are ideally placed to help close this gap by offering accessible frontline support for men experiencing symptoms such as urinary changes, pelvic discomfort and sexual dysfunction.

The role of community pharmacists extends to providing education, signposting and early intervention. Familiarity with diagnostic tools such as prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing is essential for guiding patients toward appropriate care.

In addition, the evolving debate about testosterone levels and their clinical significance calls for balanced, evidence-based conversations.

By fostering a pharmacy environment that is welcoming, discreet and tailored to men’s needs, pharmacists can encourage engagement and help overcome the stigma that often prevents men from seeking timely advice about their health.
