On the occasion of International Men’s Day 2025, a urologist said that every man should get some important health tests done after the age of 30, so that serious diseases occurring in future like heart disease, prostate problem, kidney disorder, diabetes, hormonal imbalance can be detected in time.
Let us tell you today which 8 important health tests every man should get done after 30.
necessary tests
Blood Pressure Test: High BP is a ‘silent killer’, causing damage to the heart, kidneys and brain without symptoms. It is necessary to get checked every 6 months.
Blood Sugar Test (Fasting + HbA1c): Diabetes is increasing rapidly among Indian men. HbA1c shows how your sugar has been in the last 3 months. If detected in time, major diseases can be prevented.
Lipid Profile (Cholesterol Test): The risk of heart attack increases due to increase in bad cholesterol (LDL). After 30, this test is necessary once a year.
Kidney Function Test (Creatinine + Urine Test): This test tells whether the kidneys are working properly or not. Symptoms of kidney diseases are not visible in the beginning, hence testing is necessary.
Prostate Health Test (PSA Test): Prostate enlargement is common in men after 40. But even after 30, it is considered good to get PSA test done, especially if there are problems like frequent urination, intermittent urination, getting up repeatedly at night.
Testosterone Level Test: Low testosterone causes problems like fatigue, irritability, sexual weakness, weight gain. This problem is increasing rapidly in Indian men due to stress, less sleep and wrong diet.
Liver Function Test (LFT): Fatty liver is found in 38% of Indians. Sitting for long periods of time, alcohol, fried food and lack of sleep are the reasons for this. LFT can be detected in time.
Vitamin D and B12 Test: Vitamin D and B12 deficiency is very common among Indian men. This causes problems like weakness, bone pain, poor sleep, bad mood, hair fall.
Why are these tests necessary after 30?
-Work stress increases -Lifestyle starts deteriorating -Sleep decreases -Metabolic aging of the body starts increasing -Many diseases start without symptoms.
The age of 30 is the right time to start health check-up so that serious diseases can be prevented in future.
