Health check-up
A win-win reflex
Health Check-Up
A health check-up is suitable for anyone looking to understand their overall health status. Whether it’s to alleviate concerns related to their genetic heritage or to check for the presence of symptoms that could be linked to certain diseases, a health assessment can quickly detect some health issues such as diabetes, hypertension, or high cholesterol.
In many cases, these types of diseases are asymptomatic, so one of the most effective ways to detect them is through an annual health check-up, starting as early as in one’s forties
Getting an annual health check-up
a healthy and wise habit
Beyond the age of fifty, it becomes even more advisable to undergo an annual preventive health assessment, especially in the absence of ongoing care from a family doctor. It goes without saying that family health history can guide us in terms of the most likely health issues to arise in certain individuals.
These indicators allow us to direct the patient towards more specific tests deemed necessary, such as early mammography, cholesterol screening, or screening for certain cancers like colorectal cancer, which may affect certain families more prominently.
It’s important to note that each health assessment is personalized based on individual medical history.
During a health check-up, several elements could be discussed, such as :
- Personal, medical, and surgical history
- Physical activity
- Regular and occasional medication
- Allergies
- Lifestyle habits, including smoking, caffeine intake, alcohol consumption, or drug use
Our doctors conduct your health check-up based on a questionnaire and a comprehensive physical examination. It goes hand in hand with preventive medicine.
Based on your personal risk factors, the doctor may request additional diagnostic tests that they deem necessary for each patient, including:
- Blood tests (Cholesterol, Blood sugar, Liver and thyroid function, etc.)
- Cervical cancer screening (PAP test or HPV testing)
- Breast cancer screening
- Osteoporosis screening
- Sexually transmitted and blood-borne infection screening
- Memory disorders screening (Alzheimer’s)
- Prostate cancer screening
- Colon cancer screening
- Diabetes screening
- Heart problem screening
- And others…
Your doctor may seek the opinion of a specialist to confirm or rule out certain diagnostic hypotheses. Following your health check-up, our medical team can take on the overall management of any condition related to general medicine.
We take the time to thoroughly analyze your health condition
In the event that tests reveal a health issue, the doctor will efficiently guide you towards prompt management of the identified disease or problem. As a result, many health issues can be detected and treated quickly, helping to prevent complications.
