Who needs such diagnostics?
One day diagnostics in Germany is required in the following situations:
You have discovered the suspicious symptoms. For example, you have started to experience headaches very often, your legs swell or you feel pain in your stomach after meals. There are many mild symptoms, such as fatigue or «bags» under the eyes. If you tell about such complaints to the doctor, he will only shrug in confusion. It happens because in the countries with poor medicine, doctors begin to provide a treatment only for those people who are almost dying. But in Germany you can go through a check-up and find out, if you need to worry about your health.
Your lifestyle is not really healthy. Perhaps, you have a job where you are physically or emotionally overstrained. Maybe you smoke, drink alcohol, don’t have enough time for sleeping, and often suffer from stress. Perhaps, you have gained weight and have sedentary lifestyle. All these conditions increase the risk of many diseases. You need regular examinations in order to detect a pathology timely.
You have a genetic burden. Does your grandmother have diabetes? Does your father suffer from the ischemic heart disease? If your relatives have numerous disorders, your health is probably not great either, because the tendency for pathological processes is genetically inherited. You should not be waiting for the disease onset. It is better to be examined in advance in order to detect the initial pathological changes timely and take preventive measures.
You just take care about your health. Beyond all doubt, you want to stay healthy till the old age, be active socially and professionally, and have a clear mind. You can achieve this result, only if you have check-ups and, if necessary, receive a treatment. It is much easier to treat any disease at the initial stages, while there are no serious irreversible changes in the organs.
