Why Should We Have Check-Up?

Modern medicine aims to ensure that the person remains
healthy by taking the necessary precautions before the disease occurs. Because
after the disease occurs, its treatment is much more expensive and the health
is deteriorated once. That is why, even if there is no complaint, every
person should go through a general health check periodically by consulting a
doctor. These periods may change according to the age and general
condition of the person. Early and accurate diagnosis of coronary artery
diseases, cancer, hypertension and many other diseases, which are the diseases
of our age, is of great importance in terms of both life time and quality. In
addition, many diseases can progress insidiously for years without any symptoms
and without causing any complaints in the patient. On the other hand,
hypertension, which eventually causes serious damage to vital organs such as
the brain, heart, kidneys, Early diagnosis and regular treatment are also
of great importance in diseases such as high cholesterol and diabetes. Even
a symptom that you consider unimportant can be a harbinger of a very important
disease.

If diseases that the person is not aware of until that day or
situations that will cause illness are detected, preventive measures, such as
lifestyle changes (smoking cessation, alcohol restriction, exercise), and
changes in eating habits may be recommended. With preventive medical and
surgical treatments and interventions, the formation of diseases can be
prevented or the progression of diseases at an early stage can be prevented.

As a result of research in all fields of medicine, effective
interventions and treatments are developed for many diseases. Among these,
central nervous system diseases such as coronary heart disease, peripheral
vascular diseases, stroke and cerebral hemorrhage can be prevented by combating
sugar, cholesterol and hypertension. Smoking-related lung disease, alcohol
or liver disease due to hepatitis B virus can be counted among diseases whose
prognosis can be changed in advance in terms of the problems they may cause
with screening. Some common cancers such as breast, cervix, colon and
prostate, diseases such as anemia and osteoporosis can be detected early and
the problems caused by these can be eliminated. It is recommended that
check-up does not coincide with menstrual days.
