CHECK-UP for men

Your lifestyle, addictions, daily overload and stress affect your health. Regular preventive health check-ups are essential to maintain your capacity for work and your quality of life.

Private clinic Ģimenes veselība offers a special health check-up programme (CHECK-UP) that allows a quick and high-quality assessment of your health to detect the existing health risks as early and accurately as possible and to prevent them as efficiently as possible.

Do you know your body well enough? Try to answer the following questions:

• Is your blood pressure within normal limits? What is your body mass index?
• Do you know your cholesterol and blood sugar levels, are they within the normal range? What is the state of your internal organs, are you at risk from cysts or gallstones?
• Are you sure about the health of your heart when you have it checked?
• Do your blood vessels supply your brain with enough oxygen?
• Does your metabolism function smoothly, how does your thyroid gland function?
• When was the last time a doctor examined you and assessed the condition of your skin?
• Have you taken any cancer prevention measures?
• When was the last time you had a breast sonography? (for women)
• Have you had a prostate examination and PSA test? (for men)
• When did you last consult a gynaecologist and had an oncocytology smear?

If you can’t answer these questions, we recommend you to undergo a preventive health check-up as part of the CHECK - UP programme.
