Is a Well Man Health Check Right for Me?
A male health check can be useful for you if you want to understand your current health, discuss specific concerns or identify factors that may affect your health in the future.
Those looking for a private men's health check in Preston usually do so if they:
- Wish to have a straightforward overview of their current wellbeing
- Have a family history of heart disease, diabetes, hypertension or prostate problems
- Experience any persistent symptoms, such as fatigue or weight loss
- Seek advice on the risks of high cholesterol, blood pressure, diabetes
- Have concerns regarding the prostate or other men's health issues
- Want peace of mind and reassurance
- Need to discuss lifestyle and long-term health planning with a GP
A Well Man Screening is not limited to men with specific symptoms. It can also be used as a complete assessment of your health, with the consultation and any recommended investigations tailored to your medical history, lifestyle and individual risk factors.
Well Man Check by Age: 30, 40 and 50+
Health risks change as men get older, so the sensible content of a well man check changes with them. Baseline screening is worthwhile in your 30s, while there is usually more reason to monitor cardiovascular, metabolic and prostate health from your 40s onwards.
-
In your 30s
A well man check at 30 usually focuses on general health: blood pressure, weight, cholesterol and lifestyle factors. The value is a baseline, measured while you are well, that later results can be compared against.
-
In your 40s
From 40 there is more reason to watch cardiovascular and metabolic health, so a well man check at 40 tends to give more weight to cholesterol, blood sugar, blood pressure and family history.
-
In your 50s and beyond
A well man check at 50 often includes a discussion about prostate health and PSA testing, alongside cardiovascular and metabolic monitoring. We also offer an Over 50s Health Check in Preston for men who want a fuller preventative assessment.
Age is a starting point, not a rule. Dr Faizal recommends investigations on the basis of your symptoms, medical history and family history as well as your age.
What Happens During a Well Man Check Up?
A Well Man Check begins with a private consultation with Dr Faizal. He will ask a series of questions regarding the symptoms, the medical and family history, current lifestyle and any other concerns experienced.
The consultation helps Dr Faizal understand your concerns before deciding whether any tests or further investigations are appropriate as part of your Well Man assessment. Rather than following a generic list of assessments, he recommends investigations based on your individual circumstances and explains the results once they are available.
What Health Checks or Tests Might I Need?
The exact tests and scans included in a Men's Full Health Check will depend on your individual circumstances and will be determined during the private consultation.
Commonly included investigations for a Well Man Health Check may involve:
-
Blood Tests
High Cholesterol, blood sugar, kidney and liver function, hormone levels, thyroid function test, vitamin levels and PSA tests (if applicable) may be included, depending on the initial findings and the individual needs.
-
Cardiovascular Health
Dr Faizal will perform blood pressure check and BMI and then he will be able to assess the patient's cardiovascular risk. If necessary an ECG examination may be recommended and discussed in detail.
-
Lifestyle and General Health
A discussion of the day-to-day lifestyle, including diet, exercise, sleeping patterns, smoking and alcohol consumption, is important for understanding the individual risk and making specific recommendations for improving wellbeing.
-
Further Investigations
Where necessary, Dr Faizal will determine the most appropriate next steps and may recommend additional tests or a relevant specialist referral.
What If the Health Check Finds a Problem?
If any problems are identified during a Well Man Health Check, Dr Faizal will review the results and discuss the appropriate further options.
Depending on the concern, the options may involve further tests and consultations, lifestyle changes or medication, regular monitoring or follow-up appointments with Dr Faizal or a referral to a specialist where further assessment is appropriate.
How Does a Private Men's Health Check Compare with an NHS Health Check?
An NHS Health Check is part of a national prevention programme generally offered to eligible adults aged 40 to 74. A private Well Man Health Check is arranged separately and can be tailored around your individual concerns, medical history and risk factors.
The two services have different purposes and eligibility arrangements. Having a private health check does not prevent you from continuing to use NHS services.

Frequently Asked Questions
Reviewed by Dr Faizal Secretary MRCGPDo I need a referral for a Well Man Health Check?
No referral is required. You can Contact My Private Clinic directly to arrange a consultation with Dr Faizal.
Can I have private blood tests with a Men’s Health Check?
Yes. Where clinically appropriate, Dr Faizal can recommend private blood tests as part of your Well Man Health Check. The results will be explained to you once they are available.
What if my results show a problem?
In a private men’s health check, the results will be discussed with the patient and the options will be reviewed. Dr Faizal can recommend relevant lifestyle, medication or further tests or monitoring, where necessary.
Is a private Well Man health check worth it?
A private Well Man Health Check may be useful if you want reassurance, have specific health concerns or would like to discuss your individual health risks with a GP. Whether further investigations are appropriate will depend on your symptoms, medical history and individual risk factors.
At what age should men have a Well Man Health Check?
There is no single age at which every man should have a Well Man Health Check. It may be useful at different stages of life depending on your medical history, family history, symptoms and individual risk factors.
Can I stay registered with my NHS GP?
Yes, you can remain registered with your NHS GP while using My Private Clinic for private healthcare. You can continue to access NHS services as usual and choose to see Dr Faizal privately when you need a private consultation, health check or further assessment. A private Well Man Health Check does not affect your NHS registration or your access to NHS care.
What's included in a well man check?
There is no fixed list. A well man check usually looks at a range of health markers rather than one condition: blood pressure, pulse and BMI, cardiovascular risk, cholesterol, diabetes screening, kidney and liver function, and a full blood count. Depending on your age, symptoms and family history it may also include testosterone and other hormones, thyroid function, and a discussion about prostate health and PSA testing.
How much does a well man check cost in Preston?
There are three fixed-price checks: Essential at £199, Comprehensive at £349 and Complete at £449. The price covers everything listed for that check, including your consultation and examination with Dr Faizal and your results explained in person or by phone. If any investigation beyond your chosen check is recommended, it is quoted and agreed with you before it is arranged.
Do I need to fast before a well man check?
It depends which blood tests are being performed. Some, such as certain cholesterol and glucose tests, may require fasting while others do not. Follow the preparation instructions the clinic gives you when your appointment is booked.
How long does a well man check take?
The appointment length depends on the type of assessment. A 30-minute appointment suits a focused health review; a 60-minute appointment gives time for a complex history, several concerns or a fuller review. Blood tests are taken at the same visit where appropriate.
How quickly will I get my well man check results?
That depends on which tests are performed and the laboratory processing them. Dr Faizal will tell you when your results are expected and how they will be shared with you, and will explain what they mean rather than simply sending you a set of numbers.
Does a well man check include testosterone?
Not automatically. Testosterone testing depends on your symptoms and clinical need. If testosterone deficiency is a possibility, Dr Faizal can advise whether a private testosterone test is appropriate and what the result would mean.
Does a well man check include a PSA test?
Not automatically. PSA testing is considered on the basis of your age, symptoms, family history and individual risk, and is discussed with you first. Where it is appropriate, a PSA test can be arranged as part of your assessment.
Can a well man check assess low libido or erectile difficulties?
Yes. A well man check is a private opportunity to raise concerns such as low libido or erectile difficulties with a GP. Further assessment or specific testing may be recommended depending on the likely cause.
What should I bring to a well man check?
Bring a list of your current medications, any relevant medical information and details of important family health history. It also helps to note the symptoms or concerns you want to discuss, so nothing gets missed in the appointment.
