Check-Up

Check-up, which is a large-scale medical exam, involves all tests that bring future risks to light and evaluate current health status of a person without any complaint. In addition to the tests and exams, personal-family history, current medications, habits and lifestyle assessment are investigated as well.
 
Why one should have Check-up?

In modern medicine, it is aimed to take precautions to avoid getting sick, modify lifestyle, regulate sleep pattern, nutrition and other habits, maintain good quality of life and prevent heavy financial burden of healthcare. Thus, Having an annual check-up is highly important. Diseases, particularly chronic diseases, have a period of mild symptoms that are indefinite or considered secondary to tiredness and stress. The body uses its own capacity to the end before major signs of disease emerge. Indeed, organ and tissue losses persist within that period.  When diseases occur within that period, survival is possible with rehabilitation for some people. In certain types of diseases, it is possible with early diagnosis without life quality impairment. Particularly for people with family history of diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, breast –uterine cancer, check-up is crucial to evaluate familial predisposition.
 
How often should you get a check-up?
