About This Department
One day. Seven specialists. 51 tests. Results before you leave.
Prostate, bowel, heart, liver, thyroid and the insulin numbers that move years before diabetes does, all checked in one day in Istanbul, with a check-up physician reading every result back to you the same afternoon.
Everything Included in the Nova Vita Male Check-Up
Fifty-one items under one price and one schedule, with no testing fees hidden inside the package.
PSA arrives with a urologist attached, which is the part that matters. A number on a printout raises questions. A urologist who examines you the same day answers them.
One pass of the abdominal probe covers liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, kidneys and bladder, and that is where most silent gallstones, fatty livers and kidney cysts turn up.
Insulin resistance runs for a decade before blood sugar rises, because the pancreas simply makes more insulin to hold the number down. Through that whole stretch, HbA1c and glucose look fine. The first sign anything is wrong tends to arrive as prediabetes, by which point the easy years have gone. HOMA-IR compares fasting insulin against fasting glucose and picks up the strain early, while weight and diet can still reverse it. Most check-up packages leave it out. A man in his forties with a normal HbA1c is exactly who it is for.

Why Men Fly In for a Single Day
Prostate and Bowel, Both Covered
PSA read by a urologist in the same building, and a stool test for hidden bowel bleeding. These are the two screens men put off longest, and both are finished before lunch.
One Physician Reads All 51 Results
The check-up physician holds the laboratory values, the scans and the notes from six other specialists at the same time, then explains the whole picture to you in one conversation.
Insulin and Trace Elements Included
HOMA-IR alongside zinc, magnesium, selenium, iodine and homocysteine. These explain the fatigue, the stubborn waistline and the cardiovascular risk that a standard panel calls normal.
A File You Can Hand Over Anywhere
Every value carries its reference range, every scan carries its finding, and the whole thing is written in the language you name at booking. Your doctor at home reads it and acts on it.
Your Day, Step by Step
Registration and Samples, 9am
One draw covers all 39 laboratory tests, taken first thing while you are still fasting, and HOMA-IR needs that fasting sample to mean anything. The urine and stool containers go in at the same desk. Breakfast follows straight afterwards.
Imaging and Heart Tests
Whole abdominal ultrasound while you are still fasting, then chest and panoramic dental X-ray, ECG and echocardiography.
The Seven Consultations, Urology Among Them
Urology, cardiology, ophthalmology, dental, nutrition and podiatry, each with your own results already in front of them. The urologist sees your PSA before you walk in rather than after.
Results Explained, Then Home, Around 4pm
Every result comes back inside that window, read as one picture and explained to you face to face, with a written report to take home. Nothing waits for an e-mail the following week.
How to Prepare
Eight hours without food covers the glucose, the HOMA-IR, the lipid profile and the abdominal ultrasound in one go, so a normal dinner and nothing afterwards is all it takes.
A small stool sample is required for the fecal occult blood test. A sterile sample container will be provided by our team.
The container travels with your appointment confirmation, so nothing about it is a surprise at the desk. What the test looks for is bleeding too small to see. That is how bowel cancer gets caught early.
Tell the coordinator if you have cycled hard, had a prostate examination, or had a urinary infection recently.
Any of those can lift a PSA reading on its own and turn a normal prostate into a worrying number. Saying so beforehand lets the urologist read the result correctly, or move the test by a few days, instead of sending you home with a question that did not need to exist.
Should You Be Booking This One?
- Years since the last proper check, and no family doctor chasing you
- A father or brother with prostate, bowel or heart disease
- A waistline that keeps growing while the diet has not changed
- Getting up at night to pass urine, or a weaker stream
- Turning 45 or 50 and wanting a baseline before anything goes wrong
- Years of separate reports you would like consolidated into one file
Screening is designed for a man who feels broadly well. Where a symptom is already there, a flight and a hotel are the long way round to an answer that a doctor near you can reach this week. We would rather tell you that now than after you book.
- Blood in the urine or the stool
- Chest pain, breathlessness on stairs, or a fainting episode
- Unexplained weight loss, or a diagnosis already under investigation
Men from 18 upwards can book it, with no upper limit. Everything in the package applies at every age, though the prostate half of it earns its keep from around 45, which is when guidelines in most countries start the conversation about PSA.
What a Screening Test Can and Cannot Settle
A raised PSA usually means a bigger prostate rather than cancer. Benign enlargement, prostatitis and a recent infection all push the number up, and most men with a mildly raised PSA turn out to have none of the things they feared. That is precisely why the urology examination sits in the package next to the test, because the two together settle far more than either alone.
The stool test finds bleeding and leaves the cause open. Hemorrhoids account for far more positive results than cancer does. Confirming what is bleeding takes a colonoscopy, which sits outside this package and can be arranged here or at home.
No tumor marker here is a cancer test. CEA, AFP and CA 19-9 are monitoring tools, and a man with cancer can have entirely normal markers. What they give you here is a personal baseline, read on the day beside your scans and your examinations rather than on their own.
Tell us your age and what has been on your mind
Attach whatever you already have, an old PSA, a cholesterol printout, a scan report. A physician looks it over and says whether anything belongs on your list beyond the standard package, then a coordinator fixes the date. Nothing is charged for that.
Coming to Istanbul for the Day
One night to arrive and start the fast at dinner, one for the check-up, one held free in case a scan leads to a second look or a referral.
Nothing here is invasive beyond one blood draw, so no medical restriction applies to the flight back.
Passport, the stool container, your medication list, glasses if you wear them, and any earlier PSA or cholesterol results so the physician can see the direction of travel.
Consultations happen directly in your language. Our team covers English, Arabic, French, Russian, Serbian, Romanian and Spanish, with other languages arranged when you ask at booking.
Airport pickup and hotel transport are handled by the office. Up to two relatives may sit in on the examinations. If your passport needs a visa, the invitation letter is issued roughly ten days ahead of the trip.
The coordinator stays reachable on the same WhatsApp number, so a question on any value in the report still gets answered weeks later, and a repeat PSA done locally can be sent back for comparison.
Reading a Quote Properly
Two quotes that look alike on the surface can hide a twenty-test gap underneath, because nothing stops a hospital calling a short panel comprehensive. Ask for the item list. Then run through these five points before you compare numbers.
You will not find a figure printed on this page. Any number published here would be wrong for almost every man who read it, and stale within a few months anyway. Message the team with your age and your travel dates instead, and a written breakdown comes back built around what you actually need. That costs nothing.
