Well Man Check
Auckland Men’s Clinic offers a proactive well thought out Well Man Check. This 45-minute detailed health review is designed specifically to address men’s health concerns.
The Benefits of a Regular Annual Check-up
An annual Well-Man check can help identify potential health issues before they become a problem. Early detection gives you the best chance of getting the proper treatment quickly and living a longer, healthier life.
The benefits include:
- Reduce your risk of getting sick.
- Detect potentially life-threatening health conditions or diseases early.
- Increase chances for treatment and cure.
- Limit the risk of complications by closely monitoring existing conditions.
What’s involved?
In this check-up, we will identify significant health risks, especially risk of cardiovascular disease, skin, lung, bowel, and prostate cancers, and depression, as well as a review of lifestyle factors that contribute to health or risk.
If there are any areas of concern we’ll work with you to make a plan to address and monitor any issues.
Depending on your preference you will do a blood test either before or after the consultation. The routine tests are a blood count, liver and kidney blood tests, glucose and cholesterol levels, and PSA prostate cancer test if appropriate.
If any issues are identified on the questionnaire or during the consultation, other tests will be arranged.
The consultation with the doctor and nurse takes 45 minutes and is $225.
Occasionally, more significant medical issues may be identified which are more important than working through the health check plan. If this happens we will discuss changing the plan to address those issues, and come back to the general check-up at a later point.
