Nigerian men die younger than women — largely due to preventable conditions that go undetected because men don't attend regular checkups. A men's health check at Mascot Healthcare, Akoka gives you a complete picture of your cardiovascular health, hormones, prostate, kidneys, and sexual health in a single appointment.

Hypertension affects 1 in 3 Nigerian men. A blood pressure check is the most basic and impactful preventive health action available.
Nigeria has among the fastest-growing diabetes rates in Africa. A fasting glucose and HbA1c identifies diabetes and pre-diabetes before complications develop.
High LDL cholesterol accelerates atherosclerosis — the same process that causes heart attacks, strokes, and erectile dysfunction. Most men over 35 have never had a lipid profile.
PSA blood test and prostate ultrasound scan for men over 40. Early detection of BPH or prostate cancer changes outcomes dramatically.
Testosterone, prolactin, thyroid function. Low testosterone is under-diagnosed in Nigerian men — and is a treatable cause of fatigue, ED, and low mood.
Creatinine, eGFR, LFTs — baseline organ function that detects early kidney damage from hypertension or diabetes, and liver disease from hepatitis or alcohol.
Baseline haemoglobin, white cells, and platelets. Anaemia, infection, and blood disorders are identified here.
HIV, hepatitis B, syphilis — offered to all sexually active men as part of a comprehensive health review.
Establish a baseline. Blood pressure, blood sugar, and BMI. STI screen if sexually active. Testosterone if symptoms suggest deficiency. Hepatitis B vaccination if not immune.
All of the above, plus: fasting lipid profile (atherosclerosis begins in the 30s), testicular self-examination training, baseline PSA if family history of prostate cancer. Erectile dysfunction appearing at this age is almost always a sign of undiagnosed hypertension, diabetes, or low testosterone — all of which need identification.
Annual PSA + prostate scan. HbA1c (diabetes screening). Full lipid profile. Testosterone. Kidney function. Blood pressure with 10-year cardiovascular risk calculation. ECG if indicated. If any component is abnormal, repeat more frequently.
All of the above, plus: colon cancer screening referral from 50. Eye examination for diabetic retinopathy if diabetic. Bone density check if risk factors for osteoporosis. Annual prostate surveillance.
