Modern life is busy and exciting and goes by at a quick pace. However, health care often becomes an afterthought, despite being important for all age groups. What are the main benefits of an annual checkup?

It is necessary to undergo periodic medical review to detect dangerous diseases or a tendency to them in time. This is similar to control inspections, which allow you to detect any negative changes or dangerous signs. Doctors strongly recommend these preventive examinations regularly, regardless of age, gender, or lifestyle.

Work, school, career, family – all these things require a lot of effort and time. Many diseases, such as Diabetes mellitus, arterial hypertension, myocardial infarction, and others, can be detected and prevented at early stages. Nevertheless, due to the lack of obvious symptoms, people do not consult doctors, which leads to the fact that the disease keeps developing and progresses to a more serious stage.

What is an Annual Physical Check-Up?

Many diseases do not have any clear symptoms at early stages and are detected when there are serious disorders in the body. Often, we come to the doctor with health complaints. He appoints some procedures, makes a diagnosis, or refers to a specialized physician. But what if you could play a proactive strategy and visit a doctor even if you are not worried about anything?

That’s what a general check-up with doctor is, that takes into account your age, heredity, and existing problems.

An annual physical check-up is a comprehensive medical examination that a personundergoes at his/her own choice to get information about his/her health and to react in time to possible dangerous diseases. Diagnostic review plays a key role in preventive medicine aimed at avoiding diseases and maintaining health.

The results of the medical assessment help to get recommendations on how to support the body. There are general and specialized types of health audit, which can be aimed at detecting changes in health in general or at examining the state of certain organs and body systems in depth, especially in the case of certain risks or heredity.

Annual Physical Check-UpWho Needs an Annual Exam?

What is an annual checkup? First of all, regular and comprehensive examinations are an essential part of a healthy lifestyle. How often should you get a physical? It is recommended that healthy men and women between the ages of 20 and 40 undergo a complete body physical review at least once every 1-2 years. After reaching the age of 45, when the risk of disease increases, it is recommended to undergo a checkup annually. 

Men do not like to visit clinics, so they tend to launch diseases that can be easily eliminated in the early stages. A check-up allows you to monitor the state of your health without long lines and unnecessary waste of time. A person has the opportunity to undergo it quickly and conveniently. Preventive care visit includes a visit to a therapist, MRI, ultrasound of vital organs and systems, biomaterials analysis, the choice depends largely on the age. For men 40+ the regular health checkup includes an examination of the heart and brachiocephalic arteries. It is necessary to examine the level of hormones, in particular testosterone.

A check-up for women’s health is based on the key features of the female body: constantly changing hormonal background, the dependence of fertility on the general state of health and psychological well-being, and increased risk of developing several diseases, such as breast or cervical cancer. A comprehensive clinical assessment carried out at regular intervals, allows you to keep a hand on the pulse and notice the approaching danger in time.

Why are medical checkups important? Children’s diagnostics of the body allow you to detect hereditary and congenital pathologies that have not yet manifested themselves but may be dangerous to the child’s health in adulthood. If necessary, health screening can be supplemented with genetic studies to determine predisposition to certain diseases. This makes it possible to form a program of preventive measures for the future.

5 Reasons Why Annual Physical Exams are Important

A checkup with a doctor is carried out for preventive purposes, as well as for the timely diagnosis of diseases. It will be useful for family planning and will help determine the causes of diseases of unclear etiology.
