Advanced Male Health Screening in London
Frequently Asked Questions – Men’s Health Screening
A well man check is a preventative health assessment for men. It usually involves blood tests to assess overall health before symptoms appear.
These checks often focus on:
- Hormones
- Heart health
- Metabolism
- Nutrition
At Marylebone Diagnostic Centre, the Advanced Male Health Screening is designed to assess multiple systems together.
The NHS does not offer a routine blood-based “well man check”. Testing on the NHS is usually symptom-led and limited to specific concerns. Private screening allows men to check their health preventatively, without waiting for symptoms.
There is no standard NHS well man clinic that offers comprehensive blood screening. Some NHS services focus on specific issues, such as sexual health or blood pressure checks. Comprehensive blood-based screening is usually accessed privately.
A men’s health check often includes blood tests that assess:
- Testosterone and male hormones
- Cholesterol and cardiovascular risk
- Blood sugar and metabolic health
- Liver and kidney function
- Vitamins and minerals
The value comes from testing these areas together, rather than in isolation.
A full body MOT health check is a general term used for broad health testing. It usually refers to multiple blood tests assessing major organs and systems. At MDC, the Advanced Male Health Screening focuses on markers most relevant to men, rather than a generic MOT.
A men’s full MOT usually means a comprehensive health review using blood tests. It aims to identify silent issues such as:
- Cardiovascular risk
- Hormonal imbalance
- Early metabolic changes
It is preventative rather than diagnostic.
The “best” health check depends on what is included. Many checks focus on volume rather than relevance. A strong men’s health screening should include:
- Male hormones
- Heart and metabolic risk
- Stress markers
- Nutritional status
MDC’s screening is designed around these priorities.
Different providers offer different formats. Some include scans, while others focus on blood testing. Marylebone Diagnostic Centre focuses on:
- Blood-based insight
- Male-specific markers
- Fast turnaround
- Clear reporting
The emphasis is on clinically relevant data, not unnecessary tests.
Private health screening varies widely. Some checks are very basic, while others are extensive. Men should look for screening that includes:
- Hormones
- Cholesterol and glucose
- Liver and kidney markers
- Vitamins
MDC offers a balanced, comprehensive profile at a clear price point.
Costs vary depending on what is included. Private men’s health checks can range from a few hundred pounds to over £1,000. The Marylebone Advanced Male Health Screening is £499, with all key markers included.
Men’s health screening may be helpful if you:
- Feel tired or run down
- Have low motivation or libido
- Are training hard
- Work long hours
- Want prevention, not reaction
- Are over 30
It is also useful for establishing a baseline.
Many men choose screening:
- Every 12 months for prevention
- More often if monitoring hormones or metabolism
Frequency depends on age, lifestyle, and results.
