Men’s Health Screenings: Taking Charge of Your Future

Men are often less likely than women to visit the doctor — and as a result, health problems can go unnoticed until they become serious. 🧔
In 2025, more men are recognising the importance of regular private health screenings to detect risks early, boost wellbeing, and stay in peak condition.

In this blog, we’ll explain why private men's health checks are crucial, what screenings you should consider, and how Ready Health can help you stay one step ahead.

🔍 Why Men’s Health Screening Matters

Men are at higher risk for several serious health issues, including:

• Heart disease

• Prostate cancer

• Testicular cancer

• Type 2 diabetes

• High blood pressure

• Mental health conditions (e.g., depression, anxiety)

✅ Early detection often leads to simpler treatments, better outcomes, and a longer, healthier life.

Yet many men delay seeking help — sometimes until symptoms are severe.
Proactive screening changes that. 🛡️

🏥 What Does a Private Men’s Health Check Include?

At Ready Health and other reputable private clinics, a men's health screening typically includes:

1. Comprehensive Health Review

• Family history of heart disease, cancer, diabetes 🧬

• Lifestyle habits (diet, exercise, alcohol, smoking)

2. Physical Examination

• Blood pressure check

• Heart rate and rhythm monitoring 🫀

• Weight, BMI, waist circumference

3. Blood Tests

• Cholesterol profile (total, LDL, HDL, triglycerides)

• Blood glucose (diabetes risk)

• Liver and kidney function

• PSA test (Prostate-Specific Antigen) for prostate cancer risk

• Testosterone levels (for hormonal health) 💪

• Vitamin D levels

4. Testicular Health Check

• Physical examination to detect lumps or abnormalities

5. Mental Health Screening

• Assessment for depression, anxiety, stress

✅ Together, these tests create a full picture of your current and future health risks.

📈 Key Health Issues Detected by Men’s Screenings

✅ Finding issues early often means lifestyle changes — before medication or surgery is needed.

💬 When Should Men Start Regular Health Screenings?

• From age 40 onwards, annual screenings are strongly recommended.

• Earlier screenings may be needed if you have:

  • Family history of prostate cancer, diabetes, heart disease

  • High blood pressure or cholesterol

  • Symptoms like fatigue, weight changes, low libido, mood changes

✅ Prevention is better — and cheaper — than cure. 🛡️

🧪 Advanced Screening Options for Men

Private clinics also offer:

• Advanced cardiac screening (ECG, cardiac CT scan) 🫀

• Prostate MRI if PSA results are abnormal

• Testosterone replacement therapy assessments

• Fitness and performance blood panels for athletes 🏋️‍♂️

• Liver ultrasound if alcohol-related liver disease risk is present

✅ Your check-up can be fully tailored based on your goals and concerns.

📋 Signs It’s Time to Book a Men’s Health Check

• Fatigue, low energy, or poor sleep

• New erectile dysfunction or low libido

• Mood swings, anxiety, or depression

• Weight gain, particularly around the waist

• Chest pain, breathlessness, or palpitations
