🧬 What if cancer gave you no warning signs?

Most early-stage cancers don’t. By the time symptoms appear, it may already be advanced.

But what if one simple blood test could screen for over 50 types of cancer, even before you feel a thing?

💉 Lifescan Medical & Wellness now offers the multi-cancer early detection (MCED) test – designed to catch silent cancers before they spread.

Because when it comes to cancer, early detection changes everything.

Modern lifestyles are taking a toll earlier than we think. Stress, poor sleep, and processed diets are putting young adults in their 20s and 30s at higher risk of heart disease.

Many early warning signs like high blood pressure and cholesterol show no symptoms at all. That’s why preventive screening matters.

Your heart doesn’t wait — and neither should you. 🩺💓

Choose the right screening for your needs:
Deluxe 1, 2 or 3 — from $380–$650 (good basic cardio snapshot)
Premium 1 or 2 — from $1,080–$1,580 (includes ECG & cholesterol panels)
Solitaire 2 (Cardiovascular Screening) — $7,588 (comprehensive full cardiac assessment)

🧠 Did you know? Shingles isn’t a new illness. It’s a hidden virus coming back to life.

If you had chickenpox as a child, the virus may still be quietly lying dormant in your nerves. Years later, it can reactivate due to aging, stress, or a weakened immune system, showing up as shingles, often with painful rashes and nerve pain.

That’s why older adults and those with lower immunity are more vulnerable.

While shingles isn’t easily spread, the virus behind it can still cause chickenpox in someone who has never had it or been vaccinated.

📌 Understanding your risk helps you take control early.

👉 This is Part 1 of a 2-part series. Stay tuned for Part 2.

Dr Derek Koh, Family Physician and Chief Physician at Lifescan Medical & Wellness, was recently featured in Lianhe Zaobao 联合早报 in Part 1 of a special interview series highlighting a lesser-known issue — andropause in men over 40. 🧔🏻‍♂️

Often overlooked, male menopause brings both physical and emotional changes such as increased body fat, reduced bone density, lower libido, and mood shifts. These changes usually occur gradually but can significantly impact overall well-being.

This feature is a timely reminder to take men’s midlife health seriously and encourage more men to take charge of their wellness.

As part of No To***co Day on 31 May, Dr Alvona Loh, General Practitioner at Lifescan Medical & Wellness, joined CNA to address the growing concerns about va**ng and its impact on health, especially among teenagers. 🚭

While often marketed as a "healthier" alternative, va**ng is not safer than smoking — especially for younger users. Teenagers are more sensitive to ni****ne’s effects, which means they can get addicted more easily and find it much harder to quit.

🩺 Understanding the risks is the first step to prevention. Early education and support are key, especially for our youth.

This conversation is a timely reminder of the ongoing need to protect future generations from the dangers of ni****ne and to***co.

The Health Sciences Authority is monitoring the use of v**es to consume etomidate and warned that inhaling the anaesthetic directly into the lungs can cause side effects like spasms, breathing issues and seizures.
