In fact, this is a self-deception idea!
The purpose of health examination is to find unconscious but potential diseases in your body at an early stage, so as not to become serious diseases.
Since this disease has actually existed for a long time, I just don't know it. If we can find and treat it early through health examination, the chances of cure will increase a lot. However, if the underlying disease is allowed to develop, it will often turn into regrettable results until symptoms appear.
What's more, most of the abnormalities found in the physical examination are mild, not to the extent of the disease, so you can remind yourself to pay more attention to health or accept the advice of medical professionals to improve.
The best thing is that the inspection report is completely normal, which can prove that you are promoting health, but don't be complacent. You should still maintain your current health and have regular health check-ups, because a normal health check-up report can only represent your health at that time, but it can't guarantee your health and longevity.
How often is the best health check?
There is no basis for how often to have a health examination, because different diseases develop at different speeds. Early health checkups are mostly annual health checkups of fixed items, but such health checkups have many shortcomings:
1.People aged 30 and 60 are prone to different diseases.
2. Physical examination every year is not necessarily better.
3. Some inspection items don't need to be inspected once a year (for example, if hepatitis B has antibodies, it doesn't need to be inspected once a year).
Therefore, since 1970, scholars have advocated designing different health examination items according to factors such as different ages, different sexes and different high-risk groups. This theory is called. Regular health check? .
The definition of regular health examination is:? In the early stage of the disease or before the symptoms appear, early signs or risk factors of the disease can be found through some examinations, and early intervention can be carried out to achieve preventive work to maintain health or limit disease changes. ?
The scope of regular health examination includes disease screening, consultation and intervention, immunization and chemical prevention.
Therefore, a complete regular health examination includes not only health examination, but also health consultation (doctor, pharmacist, nutritionist or health manager, etc.). ) and intervention prevention (such as preventive injection).
At present, the hospital health examination is gradually moving towards regular health examination, emphasizing customized project design, and individualized design according to different considerations such as gender, age, medical history, family history and budget. This kind of health check is more in line with personal needs, avoiding spending money on fixed packages, and some money is wasted.
How to do a health check correctly?
Have regular health check-ups.
Most diseases continue to deteriorate silently, and it is not necessary to find out only by one examination. Therefore, regular health examination can improve the detection rate of diseases and better understand the sustained health status of the body.
Communicate fully with the doctor who has a health check-up.
You should take the initiative to inform the doctor about the physical abnormalities and medical history, instead of sounding the doctor's mentality and taking your own health as an examination question.
Pay attention to the body signals every day.
Physical examination is important, but we should pay more attention to the changes of physical function in daily life.
Some diseases can be found by daily self-examination. For example, breast cancer can be found by regular breast self-examination every month or on weekdays to see if there are lumps, skin changes, abnormal secretions and so on.
During the physical examination, you can put forward all kinds of physical changes you find, which is the best reference for doctors to diagnose health conditions.
