Different types of male health checks

Every man can benefit from regular screenings to safeguard their health. Frequents checkup appointments will serve many purposes:

They keep a history of your health, ensuring your doctor can monitor progress or spot differences rapidly.
They keep track of different health risks within your family history, age group, or specific professional situation.
They monitor your health index throughout your life. This is compared to your age group in the Hong Kong location.

There are many different types of health checks. However, when it comes to men’s health, our team recommend new patients to take the following health screenings:

Blood pressure: This is a yearly check for cardiovascular health. High blood pressure contributes to heart conditions, kindness issues, and even stroke risks.
Cholesterol level: High cholesterol levels can increase the risk of heart disease. Doctors measure your cholesterol with a blood sample.
Prostate check: Prostate cancer screening is essential for men over 50. You can also request a screening if there is a known risk in your family.
Colon and rectum exam: Colorectal cancers are unfortunately a risk for many men over 50.
Diabetes: Diabetes refers to an abnormal blood glucose level. This can lead to high blood pressure and contribute to heart disease.
Ethnic risk screening: individuals of South China are at high risks of developing nasopharyngeal cancer.
Liver health checks: The Asian population has one of the highest risks of liver cancer. Therefore, we recommend getting screened as soon as you suspect liver cancer symptoms.
