How often is a physical examination better?

It is recommended to have a physical examination once a year, but the physical examination items should be appropriately increased for people of different ages and physical conditions.

It is generally recommended that healthy people have a physical examination once a year. The key items of examination are heart, lung, liver, gallbladder, stomach, prostate, breast, reproductive system and other important organs, as well as important indicators such as blood pressure, liver function, renal function, blood sugar, hepatitis and tumor markers.

2. People with chronic diseases

Patients with chronic diseases and people with a family history of hereditary diseases should have a special targeted physical examination every 3-6 months in addition to the routine comprehensive and systematic physical examination once a year. For example, patients with hypertension can have a physical examination of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems every 3-6 months; People with a family history of lung cancer or long-term smoking can have a low-dose spiral CT examination every 3-6 months.

3. People with special diseases

Patients with hepatitis B and liver cirrhosis are advised to draw blood every 3-6 months to check their liver function. If some special indicators (such as tumor indicators) are on the rise, and the reasons are not clear for the time being, we should review the physical examination once a month or two to track the changing trend of relevant indicators in order to make a correct diagnosis.

4. Choose the package that suits you.

Physical examination centers generally have a wealth of physical examination packages to choose from. Physical examination package is convenient and quick, suitable for healthy people without obvious discomfort. But the professionalism and pertinence are poor, and there is no personalization, which may lead to many things that should be checked but not checked. Therefore, how to choose a medical examination package can also be communicated with the doctor and adjusted as appropriate.

Precautions:

1, regular physical examination is important, but physical examination is only a means, and health is the purpose. However, if it is only a simple physical examination, life will remain the same after the physical examination, and it is impossible to maintain health. The key to staying healthy is to maintain a healthy lifestyle and intervene in risk factors after physical examination.

2. Health management (physical examination) is an effective method. Health management is an upgraded version of physical examination. After physical examination, health management doctors analyze their own health status and conduct risk assessment. In view of the health risk factors, health interventions such as nutrition, exercise, psychology, traditional Chinese medicine and daily health care were carried out to enable the subjects to maintain a healthy lifestyle in a targeted manner, so as to better maintain their health.
