In our fast-paced world, where every day is filled with a lot of things and obligations, taking care of your health sometimes comes last. To maintain well-being and prevent diseases, it is important to undergo regular medical examinations. In this article, we will look at why regular checkups are necessary and what they include in a medical clinic.
Why are regular checkups for adults necessary?
Regular preventive examinations help to identify various diseases at an early stage when treatment is more effective and easily tolerated. They also allow you to assess your health status, identify risks for the development of certain diseases, and offer recommendations for their prevention.
What does a preventive check-up for adults include?
A preventive check-up for adults in a medical clinic usually includes the following steps:
-
Anamnesis collection
-
Examination by a general practitioner
-
Taking various blood and urine tests, for example, for blood glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, and other important indicators
-
Ultrasound of abdominal organs (liver, gallbladder, pancreas, intestines).
-
Ultrasound of the heart and blood vessels.
-
Electrocardiogram (ECG).
-
Ultrasound of the spine and joints.
-
Chest X-ray.
-
Examination by specialists if necessary (cardiologist, gastroenterologist, urologist, otolaryngologist, and others).
How often do I need to undergo routine check-ups?
It is recommended to undergo preventive examinations depending on age and individual health characteristics:
-
Between the ages of 18 and 39 - every 2-3 years.
-
Between the ages of 40 and 64 - once a year.
-
After the age of 65 - once a year or more often on the recommendation of a doctor.

Wow…Simply awesome!!!
I met Dr. Artyom for getting a sleep apnea and snoring MAD mouth guard…..He is a very professional doctor and gave me the correct device, finally I was able to sleep properly without snoring after 3 years…..Pretty impressed by his service, definitely my favorite dentist in Dubai now.
Excellent treatment from Dr. Kinan and amazing service.
Amazing experience. My tooth was chipped from a previous dentist and Olga and Oksana worked together to make a custom veneer shape for my one tooth. They put it only over the bottom so my tooth is still real. They were very professional and to the point. They were fast and got everything done. Also the outcome was amazing!
Thank you both!

Attentive and clear on details! Thank you very much for helping with the abscess. I know many good doctors in Moscow, in the most premium clinics, but with this doctor I feel calm. The Polyclinic.ae itself - everything is clear, fast, friendly - no worse than Lapino or Ilyinskaya, the best private clinics in the Moscow region!
Dr.Sarah was very helpful and all the staff were very kind and accommodating.
