Comprehensive heath check-ups can be of great benefit to many men. Many conditions do not reveal themselves and can go undetected for many years with deleterious effects.

Conditions such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol do not cause symptoms until they are advanced and severe. Other common diseases such as diabetes and the effects of alcohol, smoking and excess weight often go undetected until irreversible damage is done.
The purpose of health screening is to give a snapshot of a man’s health status and to advise and manage health and lifestyle problems before they become serious.

It also allows an individual to track his health status over time and to take advantage of other screening services as he gets older such as prostate and bowel cancer screening after the age of 50 for example.
A full medical examination, investigations and blood and urine tests can give a baseline assessment of health status and can indicate whether certain areas need to be addressed sooner rather than later or just monitored over time.

In addition to the comprehensive men’s health check, prostate and testicular cancer screening services, other screens are also available. The Mens Health Screening Centre Provides Treatment for the following conditions:
Testicular Cancer
Andropause
Male menopause
Hypogonadism
Erectile difficulties
Ejaculation disorders
Diabetes
Prostate Screening
Bladder Cancer
