Well Man

What Does This Test Check?

The Well Man blood test is a general health screen aimed at men, covering heart, liver, kidney, blood sugar, cholesterol and key male hormone markers. It gives a broad check of the systems most likely to matter as men age.

Goodbody Clinic offers the Essential Well Man test at 129 pounds, and Medichecks offers its Advanced version at 159 pounds. Goodbody Clinic also sells an Advanced Well Man test at 175 pounds, making it the priciest option and Medichecks the mid-range choice on the page.

A normal result is reassuring but is not a clean bill of health, and an out-of-range reading may point to something worth a closer look without being a diagnosis. Many mild abnormalities are common and harmless. Bring the report to your GP so any trend can be tracked over time.
