Go to the physical examination every year, okay?

Many health policy experts support annual physical examination because it is more operable. However, through careful review of several large-scale studies, it is found that these annual physical examinations have no effect on health outcomes. In other words, seeing a doctor once a year may not keep you from getting sick, or even make you live longer.

In addition, there are billions of people in the world. With such a large base of routine physical examination, the waste of medical resources is also very shocking. If these resources are used for symptomatic patients, the improvement of the health level of the population will be more obvious.

At this stage, most physical examinations are still passive. In China, in recent years, there has even been a commercial promotion of physical examination programs for the elderly. Please note that it has become a filial piety to give children a physical examination here, while the elderly passively accept it, regardless of their physical condition. When the child arrives, go for a physical examination; If you don't send it, you won't go This obviously runs counter to the idea of actively controlling one's health. However, to change the current physical examination situation, we need to start with the change of national health education and concept.

Taking the initiative to feel physical problems and asking for help at any time seems to be the ideal physical examination method in the future. Individualization is the direction we should pursue, whether it is physical examination items or physical examination time. Once a year, the project is fixed. Although the operation is convenient, it is definitely not the best way. It is the best scheme for physical examination to change passivity into initiative and change "set meal" into personalization. More and more people are aware of physical examination. Many people insist on having a physical examination once a year. Of course, some people don't think it's worth the money. If problems are found, it's scary to be on tenterhooks all day, and some people have physical examinations 2-3 times a year, and they feel that there are potential problems in their bodies, so it's easy to deal with them after dynamic evaluation.

In fact, physical examination is one of the manifestations of health awareness and a reliable measure to prevent diseases. Finding physical problems through physical examination is not only conducive to solving disease problems, but also conducive to prolonging life time. Because it is found early, it has relatively little impact on the body and gives us an opportunity to intervene early.

For example, it is often said that physical examination is like caring for your body, and regular maintenance can make your body more secure. Indeed, our daily maintenance of cars is usually once every six months or once a year. If vehicle problems are found and solved in time, we can ensure our driving safety and protect our personal safety. Usually a maintenance fee can also give us a routine physical examination. As a body bearing life and health, it is of course much more important than car maintenance.

Some people go to 4S shops to maintain their cars, while others go to auto repair shops to maintain their cars. They feel cheap or have acquaintances. For physical examination, many people are also faced with the problem of choice. Public or private hospitals, physical examination centers of general hospitals or professional physical examination institutions of enterprise nature, because of professional and technical characteristics, the reliability of choosing physical examination institutions affects the authority of physical examination results. I still remind you here that you must choose a professional and reliable physical examination center for physical examination, so as to objectively and truly reflect your physical condition.

How to distinguish the professional authority of medical institutions? Mainly depends on the level and reputation of medical institutions, don't be obsessed with advertisements and low prices, some are bait traps, some are low-quality and inefficient, and learn to distinguish rationally.

What items should the physical examination do? Mainly inspection and imaging. According to age, past health status and current physical characteristics, choose a personalized plan that suits you. Don't listen to other people's advice. Only do projects that can simply and comprehensively reflect your health status. Don't pursue too new and high-tech projects. Some items have little clinical value.

If problems are found after physical examination, you should go to the corresponding specialist for treatment and follow-up to solve the hidden dangers of the disease as soon as possible. We can't ignore the problems when we find them, which will lose the value and significance of physical examination and the most important opportunity to save some diseases.

We should take health examination more important than car maintenance, because life is only once, and we can't change parts casually. In the face of health, the problems that money can solve are limited, and the most important thing is not to delay time.
