Men are statistically less likely to visit their doctor than women — and more likely to die from preventable conditions as a result. Heart disease, type 2 diabetes, prostate cancer, and liver disease all disproportionately affect men, and all can be detected early through routine screening. A well man health check is designed to do exactly that.
What Does a Well Man Check Include?
At Clinique Alpa, our well man health check is a comprehensive assessment covering the key areas of male health. It includes a face-to-face consultation with Dr Parmar, covering medical history, lifestyle, family history, and any current concerns.
The blood panel covers full blood count, liver function, kidney function, lipid profile (cholesterol), HbA1c (diabetes screening), thyroid function, testosterone, PSA (prostate-specific antigen for men over 50), vitamin D, B12, and iron studies.
A physical examination includes blood pressure, heart rate, BMI, waist circumference, and abdominal examination. The consultation concludes with a personalised report and recommendations based on your results.
Why Testosterone Matters
Testosterone levels in men begin to decline naturally from around age 30, at a rate of roughly 1 to 2 percent per year. Symptoms of low testosterone include fatigue, low mood, reduced libido, difficulty concentrating, loss of muscle mass, and increased body fat. Many men assume these are simply part of ageing — but a simple blood test can confirm whether testosterone is a factor, and treatment options are available.
Prostate Health
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the UK. The PSA blood test is not perfect — it can be elevated for benign reasons — but it remains a valuable screening tool, particularly when tracked over time. At Clinique Alpa, we offer PSA testing as part of our well man check and will discuss the results in context, helping you make informed decisions about further investigation if needed.
