Check up for Adults

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:

1. Anamnesis collection

2. Examination by a general practitioner

3. Taking various blood and urine tests, for example, for blood glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, and other important indicators

4. Ultrasound of abdominal organs (liver, gallbladder, pancreas, intestines).

5. Ultrasound of the heart and blood vessels.

6. Electrocardiogram (ECG).

7. Ultrasound of the spine and joints.

8. Chest X-ray.

9. 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.
