If nothing hurts and you feel good, it does not mean that you do not need to go to a doctor. Many diseases do not manifest themselves in any way in their early stages, but in their advanced stages they cause severe complications and are almost incurable. You are offered to undergo a medical check-up in Germany to timely detect any possible problems in your body.

A check-up includes laboratory tests, instrumental examinations, and consultation of specialists. It usually takes 1-2 days. All procedures are carried out in one place, which is very convenient for patients.

You can seek help from the PAN Clinic Cologne, the Bundeswehr Hospital Berlin, or the Academic Hospital Augustinerinnen Cologne.

Booking Health will take care of all the arrangements for your trip. We will recommend a diagnostic center, make an appointment on the preferred dates, help you to apply for a visa and book an apartment, provide an interpreter, and a personal coordinator. You can contact Booking Health with any questions that may arise related to your diagnostics or treatment abroad.

 

Who should undergo a check-up?

 

Hospitals in Germany offer different options for health checks, such as basic check-up and check-up plus, cardio check-up (heart examination), and cancer prevention. There is also a gynecological check-up for women and a urological check-up for men.

You should undergo your medical check-up in the following cases:

  • health deterioration;
  • the onset of minimal symptoms;
  • the presence of obvious symptoms, but diagnostics at the local hospitals does not reveal the disease;
  • age over 40 years (it is worth being diagnosed every 3-5 years since, at this age, the risk of most diseases increases);
  • relatives with chronic diseases that developed at a young age.

What does a check-up include?

 

Diagnostic options depend on the type of check-up. In any case, this is not a full medical check-up, as most people do not need one. As a rule, methods that assess the general state of health are used for the check-up. These are general clinical tests and instrumental examinations. For example, these may be:

  • ECG;
  • echocardiography;
  • ultrasound scans of the abdominal organs, kidneys, pelvis, etc.;
  • chest X-ray or CT scans;
  • endoscopic examinations (gastroscopy or colonoscopy).

The goal of the check-up is not to make a final diagnosis but to detect possible problems in the body and, if any, set the direction for further diagnostics.

Based on the diagnostic results, you will receive a consultation with a specialist. They will say that everything is fine, and if there are deviations in the diagnostic results, they can prescribe additional diagnostic procedures.

How will you benefit from a check-up?

 

Check-ups allow doctors to quickly assess the state of health. Most programs last from 1 to 3 days.

If nothing is found, you will receive emotional peace and confidence in the good state of your health, after which you will go home in a great mood.

With minimal deviations, the risk of the disease can be reduced or doctors can stop its development through lifestyle modification. A doctor will make individual recommendations for you based on your diagnostic results.

Should any signs of the disease be detected, you will be much more likely to get rid of it or bring it under control in time. At the early stages, treatment of the diseases is much easier than in the progression of the process, when the function of the internal organs is irreversibly impaired.

 

Cancer screening in Germany

 

Cancer is the second most common cause of death after cardiovascular disease. According to the WHO, more than half of cancer cases are preventable. A significant number of cases can still be cured if detected early.

Screening for most cancers is recommended starting at age 50. Among the diseases that are easiest to detect on time are cervical, prostate, breast, colon, stomach, and skin cancers. The most effective way is through endoscopic examinations. In some cases, cancer or precancerous conditions can be detected with tumor marker tests or medical imaging methods (X-ray, ultrasound, etc.). Doctors in Germany successfully detect most cancers in their early stages when the oncology can be treated easier, faster and safer, for example, with an endoscopic procedure or minimally invasive surgery, and often without any radiation therapy or chemotherapy.

You can seek help from one of the German diagnostic centers to have any check-up option. Clinics in Germany have state-of-the-art equipment that provides high diagnostic accuracy. All diagnostic procedures are carried out quickly, in 1-2 days, usually within one medical facility. On the Booking Health website, you can find prices and make your check-up appointment at an affordable cost. Our specialists will help you to select a hospital and arrange your trip.
