As everyone attaches more and more importance to health, the number of physical examinations is also increasing year by year.
Many people often encounter this problem during physical examination: they are afraid of wasting money if they check too much, and they are afraid of missing the test if they check less, so they often spend a lot of money and do someThere is no need for a check at all
Today, let Xiaowei talk to you about the common misunderstandings of those physical examination items.
There is really no need to do these tests
Prostate cancer checked with prostate ultrasound:
In fact, prostate ultrasound is mainly used for the screening of benign diseases such as prostatic hyperplasia and prostate stonesIt is of little significance for detecting early prostate cancer
The right thing to do is:Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is used to screen for prostate cancer, and patients over 50 years old are recommended to start before starting until the age of 45.
Check for "breast cancer" with "CT":
