In modern medicine, preventive healthcare services and early diagnosis and monitoring programs are increasingly important alongside curative health services. Early diagnosis is especially crucial for certain diseases, particularly cancer. Therefore, check-up examinations contribute to early detection of such diseases, thereby enhancing treatment success.
Early and accurate diagnosis in diseases of our time such as coronary artery diseases, cancer, hypertension, and many others holds immense importance for both life expectancy and quality of life. Another purpose of undergoing check-up examinations is to assess potential risks of diseases associated with age, gender, smoking, and hormonal periods (like fertility and menopause), as well as to investigate familial risks such as diabetes, coronary artery diseases, stroke, and cancer.
16 Reasons to Undergo Check-up!!
- Is our heart functioning well? Are there any leaks in our heart valves? Are our heart vessels open? What is our risk of heart attack?
- Are there any stones, sand, or infections in the urinary tract or bladder? Are our kidneys functioning well?
- Is our liver, the body’s factory, functioning well? Is there fatty liver?
- Is our spleen, which produces blood and regulates immunity, normal?
- Is our pancreas gland, the production center of hormones necessary for maintaining sugar balance like insulin and glucagon, normal?
- Do we have diabetes? What is our risk of diabetes?
- Do we have insulin resistance, a major cause of obesity, hypertension, diabetes, and fatty liver in the body?
- Do we have hypertension or hypotension?
- Do we have high cholesterol and triglyceride levels, which are crucial for heart and vascular health?
- Are our thyroid hormones, which regulate our body’s metabolism, at normal levels? Do we have goiter?
- Are our adrenal glands, which regulate our body’s hormone balance, normal?
- Are our minerals such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, which play a key role in many bodily functions and are linked to several diseases when deficient, normal?
- Are our sodium and chlorine levels, which maintain our body’s fluid balance and can lead to hypertension when imbalanced, normal?
