Men's health requires consistent attention and preventive care. Even when feeling well, changes may occur in the body related to the cardiovascular system, hormonal balance, kidney function, or prostate condition. Many of these changes do not cause clear symptoms in the early stages, so preventive tests help to timely address potential health disorders.

The preventive men's examination program 'Men's Health Profile' is designed to comprehensively assess the overall condition of the body, inflammatory processes, iron and essential microelements reserves, kidney function, the amount of vitamins important for the nervous system function, and indicators of men's hormonal and prostate health.

The program includes essential blood tests that allow for the detection of potential changes in body function, assessing deficiencies of certain substances, and focusing on possible health risk factors.

What does this testing program help to evaluate?

1. Overall body condition and inflammatory processes

Complete blood count and C-reactive protein (CRP) help to evaluate blood cell indicators, detect possible signs of anemia, infections, or ongoing inflammatory processes in the body.

2. Iron reserves and the amount of essential microelements

Iron, ferritin, and magnesium tests help to evaluate the reserves of iron and the amount of microelements in the body. These indicators are important for energy metabolism, muscle and nervous system function, and overall well-being.

3. Vitamin metabolism and cardiovascular risk factors

Vitamin B12 and B9 and homocysteine tests help to evaluate the amount of vitamins important for hematopoiesis and nervous system function. Increased concentration of homocysteine may be associated with a higher risk of heart and vascular diseases.

4. Kidney function

Creatinine test helps to evaluate kidney filtration function and determine possible changes.

5. Hormonal balance and prostate condition

Total testosterone test helps to evaluate the amount of one of the most important male hormones. Total and free PSA tests provide additional information about prostate condition and help to evaluate whether more detailed tests are needed.

What tests are performed?

Complete Blood Count (CBC)

Helps to evaluate the main groups of blood cells - erythrocytes, leukocytes, and platelets. The test can help detect signs of anemia, possible infectious or inflammatory processes, and certain hematopoietic disorders.

C-reactive protein (CRP)

This is an inflammation marker, whose concentration in the blood increases during inflammatory processes or an infection. The test helps to evaluate the inflammatory response, but it does not indicate the cause or location of the inflammation itself.

Iron

Iron is necessary for the production of hemoglobin and the transport of oxygen to body tissues. Its deficiency may be associated with fatigue, weakness, reduced physical endurance, and productivity.

Ferritin

Ferritin reflects the body's iron reserves. A decreased concentration of it may indicate iron deficiency even before changes in hemoglobin occur. Increased levels of ferritin may be associated not only with iron overload but also with inflammatory processes or liver diseases.

Magnesium

Magnesium is important for normal nervous system and muscle function, energy metabolism, and heart function. Its deficiency may be associated with muscle cramps, fatigue, and other changes in well-being.

Vitamin B12 (cobalamin)

Vitamin B12 is necessary for normal nervous system function, red blood cell production, and DNA synthesis. Its deficiency can cause anemia, limb numbness, tingling, memory, and concentration disorders.

Folic acid (Vitamin B9)

Folic acid is involved in cell division and DNA synthesis processes, important for normal hematopoiesis and nervous system function. Its deficiency can lead to anemia and other body function disorders.

Homocysteine

Homocysteine - an amino acid whose metabolism is dependent on vitamins B12 and B9. Increased concentration is associated with a higher risk of heart and vascular diseases, so this indicator can provide additional information in assessing overall health condition.

Creatinine

Creatinine is a muscle metabolism product, excreted through the kidneys. Its concentration in the blood is used to evaluate kidney function and calculate glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Altered indicators may signal kidney function disorders.

Total testosterone

Testosterone - the main male sex hormone, important for sexual function, libido, muscle mass, bone strength, and overall well-being. Decreased concentration may be associated with lack of energy, reduced sexual desire, changes in muscle mass, and mood swings.

Prostate-specific antigen (PSA)

PSA - a protein produced by prostate cells. Increased concentration in the blood may be associated with benign prostate enlargement, inflammation, or prostate cancer. The test helps evaluate prostate condition and determine whether additional examination is necessary.

Free prostate-specific antigen (FPSA)

Free PSA - the part of PSA in the blood not bound to other proteins. Evaluating the ratio of free to total PSA can provide additional information about the nature of prostate changes. A lower percentage of free PSA, at a certain total PSA concentration, may be associated with a higher probability of prostate cancer.

Why choose this program?

• Comprehensive health assessment - the program combines tests for overall body condition, kidney function, vitamins, microelements, and men's health.
• Focus on men's health - includes testosterone and prostate markers tests.
• Detection of potential deficiencies - tests help to notice changes in iron, vitamin B12, folic acid, or magnesium levels.
• Prevention and timely attention to health - test results can help detect deviations from the norm and timely consult a doctor for further examination.

Take care of your health without waiting for the first symptoms - prevention is an important step towards better well-being.

Important: laboratory test results are evaluated comprehensively, considering the patient's age, symptoms, health condition, and other risk factors. PSA tests are not an independent method for prostate cancer diagnosis. If results are altered, it is recommended to consult a doctor.
