Men’s Health
All too often men neglect their health until a serious problem arises. We offer screening for early diagnosis of heart disease, skin, bowel and prostate cancer.
We strongly encourage men to have a two yearly men’s health check (Well-Mens Check) from age 40 with one of our Wellington GPs.
Well-Mens Checks include:
- weight and body-mass index
- pulse and blood pressure
- skin examination for melanoma
- heart check and cardiovascular risk assessment
- testicular examination
- prostate check
- urine test for diabetes and kidney disease
- ECG, eyesight test and audiology test where indicated
- blood tests including a complete blood count, liver and kidney function tests, blood glucose, cholesterol, thyroid function and PSA (prostate specific antigen)
We also offer advice regarding:
- depression and other mental health issues
- alcohol use
- smoking
- sexual health issues
