Who Should Get a Men's Health Check?

As you enter your 40s, it becomes increasingly important to make your health a priority. Regular check-ups are recommended, particularly if you have a family history of prostate, testicular, or bowel cancer. These conditions can be more effectively treated when caught early. Your health checks can also identify other potential concerns such as heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure. By staying proactive about your health, you can take the necessary steps to maintain a healthy lifestyle and reduce the risk of serious health problems down the line. Prevention is better than cure, and regular health checks are a key part of that prevention.

  • Can I request a specific doctor for my child’s visits?
    Yes, absolutely. We strive to maintain continuity of care and understand the importance of building a trusting relationship with a specific doctor. There may be times when your preferred doctor is not available and in such cases, an appointment with another doctor may be required.
  • How can I prepare my child for their visits to the doctor?
    Preparing your child for their doctor's visit can help if they are feeling nervous. Talk to your child about what to expect and assure them that the doctor is there to help keep them healthy. Bringing a favourite toy or book can also provide them comfort. If your children are older, explaining the importance of health checks might help them understand the process better.
  • What should I bring to my child’s health check-up?
    For each visit, please bring your child’s health book or any records of previous visits and vaccinatons. It’s also helpful to bring a list of questions or concerns you might have, as well as a summary of your child's recent health history, such as symptoms, medications, dietary habits, or behavioral changes.
  • How often should I bring my child in for routine checks and vaccinations?
    Routine checks and vaccinations are important for monitoring your child's health and development. Generally, appointments are scheduled according to the National Immunisation Program guidelines. However, your doctor may recommend additional visits if needed. You can discuss any aspects of your child's specific health needs with your doctor.
  • What should I do if my child becomes ill outside of normal clinic hours?
    If your child becomes unwell outside of the regular opening hours and you feel it is an emergency, please dial 000. For less urgent needs, consider contacting the WCH Child and Adolescent Virtual Urgent Care Service or visiting an after-hours clinic.
What to Expect During a Men's Health Check

Your Men's Health Check will be tailored to your individual needs by your doctor and may include:

  • A focus on specific men's health issues, such as mental health, prostate, and testicular cancer.

  • A discussion about your lifestyle, including diet, exercise, alcohol consumption, and smoking habits, to identify any areas for improvement.

  • Blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood glucose checks to assess your risk of heart disease and diabetes.

  • Skin examinations to check for any unusual moles or skin conditions.

  • Vaccination updates to ensure you're protected against common diseases.

  • A review of your family medical history to assess your risk for hereditary conditions.
