Why should I go for a health screening?
“I am feeling healthy, why do I need to do it?” This is a very common excuse people tend to use when asked if they go for health screens. That is, but, not a good reason. The stark anwer simply is this fact, your health can’t wait!
Many conditions have symptoms that are hard to detect, until in the advanced stage. That is why many people are walking around unaware that silent killers are lurking around in their system. Or a brewing health catastrophe waiting to blow up.
Get Checked before Complications Strike
Health screenings consist of a series of tests. Each test detects one or more underlying conditions in the patient’s body. Doctors are then able to proceed to do diagnostic tests which will determine the condition if there is any abnormality during the screen.
Uncovering problems before it is too late has proven to save lives. As a matter of fact, many cancers can be stopped in its track by timely screening. These include breast cancer, colorectal cancer, cervical cancer, aggressive prostate cancer and skin cancer.
Picking up and managing high blood pressure before further damage to your system saves you a lifetime of pain.
Similarly, life threatening health issues such as heart attacks and strokes may be averted if the signs are picked up before they strike. Early detection of serious diseases such as heart failure, stroke and kidney disease through early treatment reduces suffering and prevents complications.
