You may feel fine, or maybe there is a small concern you keep ignoring, like a pain that comes and goes, a change you cannot quite explain. Many men and women wait until symptoms become serious before they seek help. But your health is too important to put on hold.
Taking care of your health does not mean something is wrong. It means you are taking responsibility, staying ahead of issues and asking questions before they become problems. That is where a GP-led men’s or women’s health check comes in.
What is men’s health care?
Men’s health is about more than just the body. It includes physical health, mental well-being, and lifestyle choices. These areas often overlap, and small changes in one affect the others.
Our men’s health services include:
- Blood pressure and heart check
- Screening for diabetes and high cholesterol
- Prostate health discussions and testing when appropriate
- Support for mental health, stress, or burnout
- Help with sleep issues or fatigue
- Guidance on weight management and nutrition
- Advice around sexual health and fertility
- Assistance with quitting smoking or reducing alcohol use
You do not need to wait for a problem to get started. Preventative care is often the most powerful step,
What is women’s health?
Women’s health includes more than reproductive care. It encompasses the full picture, including physical well-being, emotional balance, and everything in between. Dr Keevé can help you navigate changes, track concerns, and make informed decisions about your health.
Common areas of support include:
- Menstrual issues (irregular cycles, heavy bleeding, pain)
- Contraception advice and prescriptions
- Fertility discussions and planning
- Pregnancy support and postnatal care
- Menopause symptom management
- Breast health checks
- Mental health support
- Screening tests such as Pap smears and STI screening
You do not need to wait for a crisis. Regular care helps catch concerns early and keeps you feeling more like yourself.
What health checks should I consider?
This depends on your age, family history, and lifestyle. A general guideline might include:
In your 20s and 30s:
- Testicular self-checks
- Mental health support
- Sexual health screenings
- Menstrual issues (irregular cycles, heavy bleeding, pain)
- Contraception advice and prescriptions
- Fertility discussions and planning
- Pregnancy support and postnatal care

In your 40s and 50s:

60 and older:

If you have risk factors, like a family history of heart disease or early onset of cancer, earlier and more frequent checks may be recommended.
What will the appointment look like?
You can expect a straightforward, open conversation. You will be asked about your medical history, daily habits, family background, and any concerns you may have. From there, Dr Keevé may:
- Perform a physical examination
- Request blood or urine tests
- Measure your weight, height, and blood pressure
- Offer advice on next steps or arrange a follow-up
No pressure. No judgement. Just the opportunity to take control of your health in a practical, informed way.
When should I book a visit?
Book an appointment if you have noticed:
- Unexplained tiredness or mood changes
- Changes in your weight, appetite, or sleep
- Sexual health concerns
- Menstrual or menopause concerns
- Difficulty in managing stress
- A new lump, swelling, or ongoing pain
Even if your concerns feel small, checking now may save you time, worry, and treatment later on.
Your health matters. And the best time to act is before you are forced to.
