What is a check-up?
In most cases, a person is examined only when he is sick. Once having certain symptoms, he is referred to a clinic, where he is sent to undergo tests and have instrumental examination. Nonetheless, conscious people take care of their health by going for regular check-ups, with the goal of preventing an early detection of possible diseases. Usually these are safe studies that provide general information on the structures and functions of individual organs and systems.
There are various kinds of check-ups. This can be a general exam, aimed at the assessment of different organs and its function. Otherwise, this can be a check-up for a specific disease groups.
In Germany, for instance, the following kinds of check-ups are conducted:
You can undergo a general but broad based check-up as well. It includes deep diagnostics of various organs and body systems. Normally, blood tests (clinical, chemistry), urine, faeces, ultrasound and MRI of the whole body are included. Level of various hormones is determined by the blood test, oncological, cardiovascular and other diseases markers are tracked. Sometimes instrumental endoscopic examinations (gastroscopy, colonoscopy) are carried out.
Who needs a check-up?
You have to undergo a check-up if you:
- Want to ensure good health, to live a long, wholesome life, retaining physical and mental capacity for work.
- Feel alert, have mild symptoms, and want to determine the cause of their appearance (headache, malaise, fatigue, "bruises" under the eyes, etc.).
- Have hereditary pathology (your relatives have genetic or other diseases that threaten life or reduce its quality).
- Didn’t lead a healthy lifestyle lately and now you want to find out whether this has negatively affected your health status.
- Have children who often get sick (in this case they should have a check-up).
- Professionally engaged in sports, work in a harmful environment, frequently stressed out, experience great psycho-emotional or physical stress.
All people after the age of 40 must regularly undergo diagnostic tests even in the absence of any symptoms.
Check-up benefits are:
- The ability to assess the state of your body for a short period of time. A basic examination takes only a few hours. You need to do just 1 or 2 visits to the clinic.
- The likelihood of disease in its early stages, when the symptoms are not yet there. This allows you to quickly carry out treatment, even before the active progression of pathology.
- Detection of minor changes in the analyses, which will allow the lifestyle correction in time and prevent the development of diseases in the future.
People in the developed countries have check-ups every year. This is one of the reasons why people in the USA, Japan, Israel, Germany and other prosperous states live so long.
