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
