Thriving Men’s Health Screening [Thomson Hospital Kota Damansara]

General Assessment

▸ Blood Pressure Reading

This test is a simple way of checking if your blood pressure is too high or too low. High blood pressure (hypertension) can put a stress on your arteries and organs, which can increase your risk of developing serious problems such as heart attacks and strokes. Low blood pressure (hypotension) is not usually as serious, but it can cause dizziness and fainting in some people, especially elderly.

▸ Pulse Rate Reading

This test measures your heart rate, which checks for too fast (tachycardia) or too slow (bradycardia) rates, as well as irregular rhythms (arrhythmias) – which can indicate structural heart defects.

▸ Height and Weight, Body Composition Analysis

This test provides a detailed body composition analysis giving an approximation of your body’s reserves of fat, protein, water and muscle contents.

Eye Tests

▸ Visual Test (Snellen Chart)

A series of tests performed to assess vision, visual fields and ability to focus on and discern objects.

▸ Colour Vision Test

A color vision test, also known as the Ishihara color test, measures your ability to tell the difference among colors. If you don’t pass this test, you may have poor color vision, or your doctor may tell you that you’re color blind. However, being truly color blind is a very rare condition in which you’re only able to see shades of gray.

Diabetes Screening

▸ HbA1C

This test tells you how much sugar you have circulating in your body. Higher sugar (glucose) predisposes you to diabetes. This test includes HbA1C, which helps diagnose diabetes and prediabetes. It can also guide patients already on existing diabetes sugar-lowering medications.

Hepatitis Screening

▸ Hepatitis Screening
Hepatitis A (Antibody), Hepatitis B (Antibody & Antigen), Hepatitis C (Antibody)

This test can screen or diagnose for Hepatitis A, B & C infection or determine if you are immune. It can also monitor your condition if you have existing Hepatitis.

Cancer Screening

▸ Alpha-fetoprotein
AFP

AFP (alpha feto protein) helps diagnose and monitor treatment for certain cancers of the liver, ovaries or testicles. A raised value increases the likelihood of cancer. Early detection greatly improves response to treatment.

▸ Tumour marker – CEA (Colon Cancer)
CEA

CEA is a tumour marker for certain cancers like colon, bladder, breast, lung, ovarian, pancreatic, stomach and thyroid. A raised value increases the likelihood of cancer. Early detection greatly improves response to treatment.

▸ Tumour marker – CA 19.9
CA 19-9

This is a pancreatic cancer marker. A raised value increases the likelihood of pancreatic cancer. Early detection greatly improves response to treatment.

Cardiac Screening

▸ Electrocardiogram (ECG)

An ECG (electrocardiogram) records the electrical activity in your heart at rest. This can give insight into your heart rate and heart rhythm. It also highlights irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias), previous heart attacks (myocardial infarction), blocked coronary arteries, high blood pressure (hypertension), heart valvular diseases and structural heart defects.

Infectious Disease Screening

▸ STD Profile (VDRL-Syphilis)

This test is a screening test for Syphilis.

Radiological Examination

▸ Chest X-Ray

Chest X-Ray is an imaging test used to help detect abnormalities or diseases of the airways, blood vessels, bones, heart and lungs.

▸ Ultrasound Abdomen & Pelvis

Ultrasound abdomen and pelvis is an imaging test used in the assessment of solid organs and fluid-filled structures. In the abdomen, it can be used to examine the liver, gallbladder, biliary tract, part of the renal tract, pancreas, spleen, kidneys, major blood vessels and appendix. In the pelvis, for females, it is used to visualise the uterus, cervix, ovaries, Fallopian tubes and bladder. In the pelvis, for males, it is used to visualise the prostate, bladder and seminal vesicles.

Respiratory Assessment

▸ Lung Function Test (Spirometry)

Spirometry is a type of pulmonary function test, or a lung function test, that indicate how efficient the lungs are functioning. The tests measure lung volume, capacity, rates of flow, and gas exchange. This information can help your doctor diagnose and decide the treatment of certain lung disorders.
