Why Have a Check-Up

A check-up ("periodic health screening") makes it possible to detect hidden problems that could lead to disease in the future in people with no complaints, and to take preventive measures.

Modern medicine aims to keep a person healthy by taking the necessary precautions before disease appears. For this reason, even if they have no complaints, everyone should see a doctor at certain intervals for a general health check. These intervals may vary according to age and the person's general condition.

With the screenings recommended as age increases, early diagnosis of breast, cervical, prostate and colon cancers is possible.

For the diseases of our age, such as coronary artery disease, cancer and hypertension, early and accurate diagnosis is extremely important for both life expectancy and quality of life. Early diagnosis and regular treatment are also of great importance in diseases such as hypertension, high cholesterol and diabetes, which progress insidiously for years without any symptoms or complaints, while damaging vital organs such as the brain, heart and kidneys. Early diagnosis of some common cancers, such as liver, breast, uterine, colon, bladder and prostate cancer, is also vital. Even a symptom you think is insignificant can be a sign of a very serious disease.

Remember that the earlier many diseases are noticed, the greater the success of the treatment. That is why, with a check-up once a year, you can be sure of your health.
