Hello, Hello..!!!!!
Many times, we don't do any kind of medical exams, because we feel good, because I'm still young, I'm afraid of what they might tell me since, he who seeks finds, etc.
It is important to understand that complete medical examinations are essential to maintain a healthy life and prevent future chronic diseases. Since they allow detecting abnormalities in early stages, which facilitates prevention and timely treatment. So, in this blog I will talk about the importance of complete medical exams in men and women, and how often they should be performed to avoid chronic diseases.
Performing complete medical examinations allows us to have early detection, that is, it allows us to identify health problems before they become chronic diseases or serious complications. Early detection is key to improve the chances of successful treatment and prevention of future complications.
Most importantly, comprehensive medical examinations can help identify risk factors for chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease and cancer.
This allows healthcare professionals to provide guidance on lifestyle changes and healthy habits to prevent or delay the onset of these diseases.
A general health assessment provides an overview of a person's health status, allowing health professionals to establish an appropriate treatment and follow-up plan according to individual needs.
Performing timely exams allows us to monitor the treatment the physician prescribes at any given time. If a chronic disease has been diagnosed, comprehensive medical exams can help monitor the effectiveness of treatment and make adjustments as needed.
How often should we have complete medical examinations? These vary according to age, gender, family history and individual risk factors.
Here are some general recommendations on how often men and women should have complete medical exams:
- Young adults (18-30 years): a complete medical exam every 2 to 3 years is adequate for most young adults without major risk factors. I particularly recommend at least one blood test annually.
- Adults (30-50 years): a complete medical examination is recommended every year. Specific exams, such as breast cancer screening in women and cervical cancer screening in women and prostate cancer screening in men, may require a different frequency depending on medical recommendations and individual risk factors.
- Older adults (50 years and older): complete medical examinations are recommended annually. Some specific exams, such as colorectal cancer screening, may be performed at a different frequency depending on medical recommendations.
We have always heard the saying: It is better to be safe than sorry! Therefore, schedule your annual medical exams, do not be afraid, your health is your greatest treasure. Always decide for your health and maintain a healthy lifestyle where the most important thing is your diet.
Bye, Bye
