Health is the first wealth in life, however, many people ignore their health status and believe in the creed of "no illness, no medical examination", as if this is the way to sit back and relax.
However, this is an unwise move. In the early stages of the disease, there are often no obvious signs, and by the time the symptoms become prominent, I am afraid that the best time has been missed.
People should always pay attention to their physical condition and put their health first. As soon as you notice the slightest discomfort, you should immediately consult a doctor. In this way, you can better grasp your health and enjoy a happy life.
Don't take your physical condition for granted, but take care of it carefully. In this fast-paced society, we may face all kinds of pressures, but not at the expense of health.
This statement is false. Physical examination is a way to comprehensively examine the health status of the human body and assess the functions of the body, which can detect potential health problems, such as diseases, lifestyle Xi diseases, etc.
It can help people detect early and take measures to prevent and improve the quality of life. Therefore, a medical examination is very important.
During the physical examination, the doctor will conduct a comprehensive examination and evaluation of your body, including height, weight, blood pressure, blood routine, urine routine, liver function and other aspects. Through these examinations, the doctor can understand your physical health, identify potential problems, and provide targeted recommendations and solutions.
In addition, physical examination can also help you understand your physical changes and health status, adjust your lifestyle and dietary Xi in time, and prevent the occurrence and development of diseases. At the same time, the check-up can also provide you with professional health care services to help you solve your health problems and improve your quality of life.
Everyone's physical condition is unique, so there is no fixed standard that can be used universally when it comes to health screening. For the elderly, although the physical function is gradually declining, there are some items that must be checked.
First of all, routine medical check-ups are essential. This includes the measurement of basic indicators such as height, weight, blood pressure, heart rate, electrocardiogram, etc. These indicators can reflect the basic physical condition of the elderly, as well as the presence or absence of underlying health problems.
Secondly, bone density testing is also a must-do item for the elderly. As we age, the risk of osteoporosis gradually increases. Through bone density testing, we can understand the bone health status of the elderly, and detect and prevent osteoporosis in time.
In addition, gastroscopy and colonoscopy are also necessary examinations for the elderly. These examinations can detect gastrointestinal tumors, gastritis, ulcers and other lesions early, and timely intervention and **. These tests are even more necessary in older people with gastrointestinal symptoms.
In addition, liver function, lung function and kidney function are also important items for the elderly. These organs play an important role in the human body, and these tests can be used to detect and prevent diseases from occurring at an early stage.
Finally, a cardiac examination is also essential. The elderly have a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, and heart problems can be detected early through electrocardiogram, cardiac ultrasound and other examinations, and timely intervention and **.
Although a physical examination is necessary for seniors over the age of 60, not all medical examinations are required. The following two items are not necessary:
First, genetic screening for cancer。Genetic testing can only detect whether a person has a genetic variant associated with cancer, but it cannot be used to confirm the diagnosis of cancer. Therefore, genetic screening for cancer is not necessary for people over the age of 60.
Secondly, trace element detection。This test does not accurately reflect the level of trace elements in the body. In fact, as long as you eat a balanced diet, you will generally not be deficient in trace elements. Therefore, it is not necessary for the elderly over 60 years old to perform trace element testing.
Before the physical examination, remind the elderly that after 10 o'clock the night before, they should fast from food and water, and maintain a light diet. For older people with chronic diseases who need to take medication for a long time, it is necessary to consult a doctor in advance whether it will affect the results of the physical examination. If you need to stop taking the drug, you should also do it under the guidance of your doctor.
