Men's Health Screening Singapore
What Is Men’s Health Screening?
Men’s health screening refers to a series of medical assessments designed to detect early signs
of health conditions that commonly affect men, including heart disease, diabetes, high
cholesterol, prostate disorders, and certain cancers.
These screenings evaluate your current health status, identify potential risk factors, and provide a
basis for tailored lifestyle or medical recommendations. Early testing empowers you to take proactive
steps towards maintaining long-term health and wellbeing.
At healthscreening.sg, men’s health screening packages start from $76 NETT, with
subsidised Screen for Life screenings available to eligible Singapore Citizens.
Why Is Regular Health Screening Important for Men?
Regular health screening is important because it can help:
- Uncover conditions such as high blood pressure or high cholesterol before symptoms appear.
- Track ongoing health risks and existing medical conditions
- Guiding necessary lifestyle adjustments or updates to treatment plans
Timely detection allows for earlier intervention, which may reduce the likelihood of disease development, progression, or complications.

When Should Men Go for Health Screening?
The ideal timing and frequency of health screenings vary depending on age, lifestyle habits, and medical history, with more extensive tests recommended as you grow older.
- Younger men (under 40) should focus on key indicators such as blood pressure, BMI, cholesterol, and blood sugar, with screenings every 1 to 3 years.
- Middle-aged men (40–49) should include additional assessments for cardiovascular health, prostate function, and metabolic conditions like fatty liver.
- Older men (50 and above) should add targeted tests for age-related concerns, including colorectal cancer screening and advanced heart and prostate evaluations.

How to Prepare for a Men’s Health Screening?
To ensure a smooth screening process, keep these preparations in mind:

Our team will provide detailed instructions when you book your appointment. If you are uncertain about any requirements, please contact us before your visit.
Am I Required to Fast for My Health Screening?
Fasting is not required for most of our packages, except for the Ace ($76) and Elite
($130) packages, as well as Ultrasound
Liver or Ultrasound Abdomen tests. This is because studies show that cholesterol levels differ
very little between fasting and non-fasting states, and diabetes is screened using the HbA1c test.
However, if you have high cholesterol or are taking cholesterol-lowering medication, fasting for 8 to 12
hours before your cholesterol test is recommended for more precise results. Please confirm fasting
requirements with us when booking your appointment.

Men in Singapore are generally advised to undergo health screening every one to three years, depending on age, lifestyle, and medical history. From age 40, screenings should become more regular and include additional checks for cardiovascular disease and certain cancers. If you are unsure about the best frequency, speak to a doctor who can provide recommendations based on your health profile.
A basic men’s health screening typically includes measurements of blood pressure and BMI, as well as tests for cholesterol and fasting blood glucose. These help detect early signs of conditions such as heart disease, hypertension, and diabetes. Additional tests may be suggested depending on your age, lifestyle, or risk factors. A doctor can best advise on the most suitable tests for your needs.
Men aged 50 and above are usually advised to have a prostate health assessment, such as a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test, every one to two years based on their risk profile. Those with a family history of prostate cancer or urinary symptoms may benefit from earlier or more frequent checks. If in doubt, seek medical advice on the right screening schedule for your circumstances.
By the time men reach 40, there may be gradual changes such as a slower metabolism, hormonal shifts, and increased risk for conditions like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, and prostate problems. Lifestyle habits developed over the years can also affect long-term health. This makes it an important age to begin regular screenings for cardiovascular health, blood sugar control, and early signs of prostate or liver issues.
Commonly recommended blood tests for men include a full blood count, fasting glucose, lipid profile, liver and kidney function tests, thyroid function, and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) when appropriate. These tests can detect health issues such as anaemia, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and prostate conditions. The specific tests and how often they should be done will depend on age, medical history, and risk factors. Your doctor can guide you on the most relevant tests for your situation.
