Frequently Asked Questions
We understand you may have questions about men’s health screenings. Here are answers to some of the most common inquiries we receive at LifeCare Diagnostic Medical Centre, serving residents in Bangsar South and Cheras South.
A men’s health screening usually includes a complete body check-up to monitor overall health and detect any early signs of illness. It typically covers a medical consultation, physical examination, body composition analysis, blood pressure check, urine test, and various blood tests. These tests help evaluate cholesterol, blood sugar, liver and kidney functions, thyroid levels, and sometimes hormone levels like testosterone. Some screenings also include cancer marker tests such as PSA (for prostate health), as well as imaging tests like chest X-rays, ECGS, and ultrasounds to check the heart and internal organs.

Early detection is important for men’s health because it can help identify potential health problems before they become serious. Many common men’s health issues, such as heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and certain cancers like prostate cancer, often show little to no symptoms in the early stages. By catching these conditions early through regular health screenings, men can receive timely treatment, make lifestyle changes, and significantly reduce the risk of complications. Early detection not only improves the chances of successful treatment but also supports a longer, healthier, and more active life.

The key risk factors for heart disease in men include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and smoking—often called the “big three.” Other important factors include diabetes, obesity, physical inactivity, unhealthy diet, and excessive alcohol consumption. A family history of heart disease, especially if a close male relative had heart problems before age 55, also increases the risk. Stress and poor sleep habits can further contribute to heart issues. These risks can often be managed or reduced through regular health screenings, a healthy lifestyle, and early medical intervention.

The frequency of prostate cancer screenings depends on individual risk factors, such as age, family history, and overall health. We recommend PSA prostate cancer screening as early as 30 years old annually. For men at higher risk, screening might continue annually or as advised by the doctor. Men with a normal screening result may be advised to continue every 2 years. It’s important to have a conversation with your healthcare provider to determine the best schedule for you

The symptoms of colorectal cancer in men can vary, but common signs to watch out for include changes in bowel habits, such as persistent diarrhoea, constipation, or a feeling of not fully emptying the bowels. Blood in the stool, which may appear bright red or darker, is another key symptom. Unexplained weight loss, fatigue, abdominal pain or cramping, and feeling bloated or full are also potential signs. It’s important to understand that these symptoms can also be related to other digestive health issues, making comprehensive screening crucial for accurate diagnosis and early detection of conditions like colorectal cancer. If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s important to see a doctor for further evaluation.

A cholesterol check is a blood test that measures the levels of cholesterol in your body, including total cholesterol, LDL (bad) cholesterol, HDL (good) cholesterol, and triglycerides. High levels of LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, or low levels of HDL cholesterol, can increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular problems. For men, it’s important to monitor cholesterol regularly, especially if you have other risk factors such as high blood pressure, obesity, or a family history of heart disease. Early detection allows for lifestyle changes or medication to help manage cholesterol levels and reduce health risks.

Diet plays a crucial role in maintaining men’s health, as the foods we eat can directly impact our risk for various health conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. A balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins helps to maintain a healthy weight, reduce cholesterol, and support overall bodily functions. On the other hand, a diet high in processed foods, unhealthy fats, sugars, and sodium can lead to weight gain, high blood pressure, and elevated cholesterol, all of which increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other chronic conditions. A healthy diet also supports energy levels, muscle function, and mental health, contributing to overall well-being.

The best exercises for men’s heart health are those that get your heart pumping and help improve overall fitness. Aerobic exercises like walking, jogging, cycling, and swimming are great for your heart, as they increase your heart rate and improve blood flow. Strength training (lifting weights or doing bodyweight exercises like squats and push-ups) is also important, as it builds muscle and helps maintain a healthy weight. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is another effective workout that boosts heart health. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise each week, plus strength training twice a week.

Managing stress is important for both mental and physical health. Men can manage stress effectively by incorporating several strategies into their daily routines. Regular exercise is one of the best ways to relieve stress, as it helps release endorphins that boost mood. Mindfulness and relaxation techniques like meditation, deep breathing, and yoga can help calm the mind. It’s also important to maintain a healthy work-life balance, make time for hobbies, and spend time with family and friends. Good sleep is essential for managing stress, so maintaining a regular sleep schedule is crucial. Finally, seeking support from a counsellor or therapist can be helpful if stress becomes overwhelming.

Men should be aware of several warning signs that could indicate a serious health issue. These include chest pain or discomfort, which could be a sign of heart disease or a heart attack. Shortness of breath, especially when at rest or with minimal activity, may indicate heart or lung problems. Unexplained weight loss or persistent fatigue could be symptoms of conditions like cancer, thyroid problems, or diabetes. Blood in urine or stool, changes in bowel or bladder habits, or painful urination might signal issues with the kidneys or prostate. Severe headaches, sudden vision changes, or numbness/weakness in the face, arm, or leg could indicate a stroke. If any of these symptoms appear, seeking medical attention promptly is crucial.
