Do people in their 70s who are still in good health need an annual physical examination?

Of course, if you are over 80 years old, you should experience it often, not necessarily every year. If you can, you can go there to check your blood pressure and blood sugar. In my community, you can experience the elderly over 65 for free every two years, get to know your physical condition, pay attention to yourself and improve your quality of life. However, there are also some elderly people who are unwilling to have a physical examination, even if it is free. Because I am old, I always have a little problem. They are afraid to find out big problems after physical examination and live a better life. They have no worries and fears in life. Happiness index is higher, I think each has its own reasons, just follow your heart.

The vast majority of patients who are usually in contact with them are elderly people, and the average age of some long-term hospitalized veteran cadres is about 95 years old. Grandma Chen, who I am in charge of, is 9 1 year old. In June 5438+10, she found suspicious lesions in transverse colon, which was highly suspected of colon cancer. Because of her age, her family refused to do further colonoscopy and decided not to tell Grandma Chen about her illness. Grandma Chen has to do a comprehensive examination every six months on average, including all kinds of color Doppler ultrasound and CT. The lesions of transverse colon were not found at the last examination, so it is really necessary to have an annual physical examination. .

Old people have many basic diseases. With the growth of youth, more and more complications will be exposed. If you don't have regular physical examination and timely diagnosis and treatment, it will have a great impact on the quality of life and longevity of the elderly. Although grandma Chen found out that it may be cancer, we found it out, so we can do some countermeasures as soon as possible and do some treatment for the symptoms to prevent the disease from progressing too fast. For other elderly people, if the physical examination finds other problems, even if surgery is needed, there is still a chance, not as pessimistic as taking medicine to maintain. .

An 80-year-old liver cancer patient in Corey will have surgery after May Day, and another 90-year-old patient will have gallbladder surgery next week. They also very much hope to live longer and have a better quality of life.
