Men's Full Body Checkup with PSA & Testosterone

What is a Men's Health Checkup?

A men's health checkup is a yearly set of blood and urine tests for the problems that build up quietly in men: diabetes, high cholesterol, fatty liver, kidney strain and thyroid disease. This package adds PSA for the prostate, total and free testosterone with SHBG, hs-CRP and the particle markers of heart risk, and vitamins B12 and D3.

Who should book a Men's Health Checkup?

• Men over 30 who want a yearly baseline
• A family history of diabetes, high cholesterol or a heart attack at a young age
• Tiredness, low sex drive, weaker erections or loss of muscle
• Smoking, regular alcohol, a desk job or weight gain around the waist
• Men over 50 who have discussed PSA testing with a doctor

What does a Men's Health Checkup check?

Sugar

HbA1c with estimated average glucoseDiabetes starts younger and at a lower body weight in South Asians. HbA1c catches it and prediabetes early.

Heart risk

Lipid profile, ApoA1, ApoB, lipoprotein(a), hs-CRPCholesterol and triglycerides, the particle markers that add to heart risk, and a marker of low-grade inflammation. Lipoprotein(a) is inherited and needs measuring only once in life.

Liver

Liver function test with GGTA raised ALT or GGT is often the first sign of fatty liver or of the effect of alcohol.

Kidney and urine

Creatinine with eGFR, urea, uric acid, sodium, potassium, chloride, bicarbonate, magnesium, urine routineHigh blood pressure and diabetes damage the kidneys without symptoms. Uric acid is linked to gout and kidney stones.

Thyroid

T3, T4, TSHAn underactive or overactive thyroid changes weight, energy, mood and heart rhythm.

Blood count and vitamins

Complete blood count, iron profile, vitamin B12, vitamin D3, folateB12 deficiency is common with a vegetarian diet and long-term metformin, and causes tiredness and tingling feet. Vitamin D is low in most Indian adults.

Testosterone

Total testosterone, free testosterone, SHBGLow testosterone causes low sex drive, tiredness and loss of muscle. SHBG helps read the total value, especially with obesity or diabetes.

Prostate and other markers

PSA (total), CEA, rheumatoid factorPSA rises with an enlarged prostate, prostate infection and prostate cancer. CEA is not a cancer screening test and smoking raises it. Rheumatoid factor is read only with joint symptoms.

Men's Health Checkup: when to book and how to prepare

• Fast for 8 to 12 hours before the sample. Water is fine. Take your usual medicines unless your doctor has said otherwise.
• Give the sample before 10 am. Testosterone is highest in the morning, and a low value is checked again on a second morning sample.
• Avoid ejaculation, cycling and hard exercise for 48 hours before, as they can raise PSA. After a urine infection or prostate infection, wait 6 weeks before a PSA test.
• Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before, as it raises triglycerides and GGT.
• Tell the lab about high-dose biotin supplements, which can distort thyroid and hormone results. Ask your doctor about stopping them for 3 days before.

Men's Full Body Checkup with PSA & Testosterone: sample & preparation

Sample: Blood and urine. Fasting: Required (8-12 hours).

• Fast for 8–12 hours before this package (water is allowed); avoid fatty food the night before. Bring an early-morning urine sample or provide one at the collection centre. Take your regular medicines unless your doctor tells you not to.

What this package does not include

Fasting blood sugar

HbA1c here covers diabetes screening. A fasting sugar is added when you already have diabetes or have symptoms of high sugar. Book fasting blood sugar separately.

ECG

Blood tests show heart risk factors, not the heart itself. A blood pressure check, and an ECG when a doctor advises it, are done at a clinic.

Men's Health Checkup results: common findings

HbA1c 5.7 to 6.4%

Prediabetes. Weight loss, diet and activity can bring it back to normal. Repeat the test at least once a year.

HbA1c 6.5% or higher

In the diabetes range. Unless the symptoms are clear, a repeat test confirms it before a doctor plans treatment.

High LDL or lipoprotein(a)

Raised heart risk. A doctor weighs it with blood pressure, smoking, sugar and family history. Lipoprotein(a) barely changes with diet, so the other risks are treated harder.

Raised ALT or GGT

Often fatty liver or alcohol. An ultrasound, and a repeat test after cutting alcohol and losing weight, usually follow.

Low testosterone

Repeated on a second morning sample first. Obesity, diabetes, poor sleep and some medicines lower it, and treatment is a doctor's decision after confirmation.

PSA above the range for age

An enlarged prostate and infection raise PSA as well as cancer. A repeat test, a urologist's examination and sometimes an MRI follow; one raised PSA is not a diagnosis of cancer.

Low vitamin B12

Common with a vegetarian diet and with metformin. A doctor decides between tablets and injections and looks for the cause.

Typical adult cut-offs. One result is not a diagnosis: a doctor reads the report with your symptoms, history, medicines and the range printed on it.

How often should you get a Men's Health Checkup?

Once a year from 30, or as a doctor advises after an abnormal result. Lipoprotein(a) needs measuring only once, and how often to repeat PSA is decided with a doctor from your age and the last value.
