"Many people are only concerned about the physical examination of the five organs, check the blood and urine examination of the CT, while ignoring the so-called "small organs", ears, nose, throat, eyes, skin, height and weight, which, if missed, will also leave hidden health risks. These, if missed, can also leave health risks.
For example, most nasopharyngeal cancers are detected from physical examinations, the condition of the retina in the fundus of the eye is very important in the diagnosis and treatment of hypertension and diabetes; even the simplest height and weight is an important indicator of metabolic syndrome, which is very troublesome if missed.
Myth 2, daily testing is not important
Because of the high diagnostic rate of the top medical equipment, most people in the physical examination only care about these high-precision instruments and do not bother to do more than ten dollars of basic checks. In fact, sophisticated instruments don't mean everything, and even the most advanced ones aren't all-powerful.
For example, simple and inexpensive tests such as urine routine, blood routine and routine can detect a variety of kidney and gastrointestinal diseases early. Lipid tests can be an important reference for atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. Anal examination is the simplest and most effective method of detecting rectal tumors and prostate diseases.
Misconception three, polarized attitudes toward physical examination results
There are two extreme attitudes toward physical examination reports. They are not desirable. Because most people actually do not have enough medical knowledge to judge based on the physical examination data.
Some people pay special attention to abnormal data after the physical indicators. In fact, physical indicators and living habits, physical state and the environment are related, it requires a series of tests to be confirmed, physical indicators vary from person to person, whether there is a problem need to consult a doctor.
The other extreme attitude is, "I've had a medical checkup before, so I'm not sick." So no importance is placed on the results of a physical exam, but health screenings are time-sensitive, and a test can't be a guarantee of your health for the next few years. For example, high blood pressure, high blood sugar and other common diseases can be better controlled by physical examination; cerebrovascular disease, respiratory disease, diabetes and other patients would be better to do every six months checkup.
Myth four, there is no need for physical examination of chronic diseases
Cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hepatitis, gastrointestinal disease, asthma, kidney disease people, belonging to is a chronic disease, because of the long-term use of medication, the condition is effectively controlled, so often ignored the body checkups and reviews, which is not desirable.
For example, diabetics should check their blood sugar at least once a month to see if there are complications. Patients with hepatitis B should have a liver ultrasound every six months to see if there is any disease. Patients with stomach problems should have a gastroscopy once a year to adjust their medication in a timely manner.
