Starter Wellness Plan - H1

Many health issues, such as hypertension, diabetes, or even cancer do not display obvious symptoms in their early stages. If you only undergo health check when unwell arises, it is possible that the condition has progressed to a later stage, potentially losing the golden window and making treatment difficult. The exact purpose of health check is to undercover illnesses or conditions in their early stages, where treatment or other preventive measures are the most effective – it is for this reason that you are recommended to undergo regular check-ups.

Men of different ages have different health needs – younger men tend to have irregular living habits such as lack of rest, imbalanced diet, lack of exercise, drinking or smoking, which could lead to health issues; as one ages, endocrinological problems, such as central obesity, hypertension, diabetes, high triglycerides levels, are more prevalent. Hence, men of all ages should undergo health check-ups regularly. Our medical team will recommend the relevant items based on your health condition, as well as medical history of yourself and your family.

It is crucial that our doctor understands your body and health condition, dietary practice, personal and family medical history and other risk factors before your check-up to design a personalised check-up programme fit to your needs. 
For post-check consultation, since health check reports can include a large amount of information and metrics, a thorough debrief and analysis from our doctor will help you have an accurate understanding of the implications and your health condition, avoiding any misunderstanding and anxiety. Moreover, our doctor can recommend any follow-up actions if necessary, so you can respond to the situation as soon as possible. 

Menstruation might affect the checking of urine, stool occult blood and other gynaecological tests, and hence we recommend against conducting check-ups while you are having your period. If your check-up date coincides with your menstrual cycle, please contact us to reschedule your check-up to at least 5 days after your cycle.

For female that are pregnant or expecting to be pregnant, tests such as X-ray imaging, cervical screening and other intrusive check-up procedures might affect the foetus and should be avoided. Consult your doctor if you are in such situations.

If you carry certain risk factors, such as the habit of smoking or drinking, aging, or as indicated in your family medical history, you might benefit from a more frequent testing. Your doctor will be able to suggest a testing schedule after thoroughly evaluating your conditions.MC is a non-profit, private teaching hospital.
