Men's health screening

The tests and assessments you have will depend on what your doctor suggests. They recommend screens that are appropriate to your age, lifestyle, family history and any conditions and allergies you already have. Beyond that, you can choose between different screening packages.

Generally speaking, the core men's health screening involves:

• a Body Mass Index (BMI) and body fat check
• diet, fitness and lifestyle assessment
• eye test
• full blood count and urine tests
• cholesterol test
• blood pressure check
• thyroid analysis
• full physical examination including testicles and prostate
• heart scan (resting ECG)
• chest X-ray

 

We ask you to fill out a pre-screen questionnaire so your doctor knows what screens to recommend. Based on this, we'll let you know what you need to do to prepare.

It usually takes 24 to 48 hours for all your results to come in. Your doctor puts everything into a personalised medical report and talks you through it in person. Based on your results, they may recommend treatment or refer you to one of our consultants. They give you advice on how to adjust your lifestyle and they'll tell you if they want to follow anything up. If you're over 50, they'll probably suggest that you repeat your screen in 12 months.
