At Health by Nurture, we understand that men have unique health needs and concerns that require specialised attention. Our team of healthcare practitioners is dedicated to helping men achieve and maintain optimal health through evidence-based strategies and personalised care.
Men's health checkups can vary depending on age, health history, and lifestyle factors. However, here is a general overview of what a typical men's health check may include:
Medical History Review: Your GP will review your medical history, including any past illnesses or surgeries, family history of health problems, and current medications or supplements.
Physical Exam: Your GP will perform a physical exam, which may include checking your height, weight, blood pressure, and heart rate. They may also check your eyes, ears, throat, lungs, and abdomen.
Blood Tests: Blood tests can provide important information about your health, including your cholesterol levels, blood glucose levels, kidney function, liver function, and more.
Urine Tests: Urine tests can detect a range of health issues, including urinary tract infections, kidney problems, and liver disease.
Prostate Exam: Your GP may perform a prostate exam to check for signs of prostate cancer or other prostate-related issues. This may involve a digital rectal exam (DRE) or a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test.
Skin Exam: Your GP may perform a skin exam to check for signs of skin cancer or other skin-related issues.
Testicular Exam: Your GP may perform a testicular exam to check for signs of testicular cancer or other testicular-related issues.
The frequency and extent of men's health checkups may vary based on factors such as age, family history, and overall health status. It's important for men to consult with their GP to determine the most appropriate schedule and type of men's health checkup for their individual needs.
