What is a Check-up?<\/span><\/h2>\n

A check-up is highly desirable for the early detection and diagnosis of diseases. When diseases are detected in the early stages, the chances of successful treatment are much higher. The World Health Organization recommends that individuals undergo a medical examination every five years until the age of 40, and every three years thereafter.<\/span>
\nAfter the age of 50, an annual health check-up is recommended for most patients. A check-up helps diagnose and identify potential diseases early. After a disease has developed, the steps taken are not considered a check-up.<\/span><\/p>\n

At that point, it may be too late as the disease has already progressed. However, such patients can participate in different check-up programs to diagnose other potential diseases apart from their existing condition.<\/span><\/p>\n

Who is a Check-up Suitable For?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Those who plan to participate in a sport or an exercise program should undergo a check-up before starting these activities,<\/span>
\nIndividuals with a family history of diabetes, coronary heart disease, hypertension, or high cholesterol,<\/span><\/p>\n

Anyone who recognizes that maintaining a healthy life is one\u2019s most valuable asset.<\/span><\/p>\n

What Should a Check-up Program Include?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Check-up programs are tailored to the individual\u2019s age and gender, and include laboratory tests selected to provide information about glucose metabolism, liver function, kidney function, the urogenital system, cardiovascular system, bone and muscle systems, thyroid function, rheumatic diseases, prostate (for men), breast (for women), the stomach and intestines, and the hematological system.<\/span>
\nHowever, blood and urine tests alone may not be sufficient for all genders and age groups. Detailed information on abdominal organs, thyroid, and gynecological systems, as well as breast health, can be obtained through Color Doppler Ultrasound and mammography.<\/span><\/p>\n

For women, the recommended starting age for breast screening (breast ultrasound + mammography) is 35-40. If the patient is in a high-risk group, screening should begin 10 years earlier.<\/span><\/p>\n

Patients with first-degree relatives (grandmother, mother, aunt, or sister) who have had breast cancer are in a high-risk group. In addition, women should perform self-exams at least once a month to check for lumps in their breasts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even if asymptomatic, women in the menopausal and postmenopausal stages should undergo transvaginal ultrasound to screen for uterine and ovarian cancer. Transvaginal ultrasound allows for a detailed examination of the uterus and ovaries.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to laboratory and imaging tests, a doctor\u2019s examination is an essential part of the check-up process.<\/span><\/p>\n

Note: Patients should preferably arrive for their check-up after fasting for 10 hours.<\/span><\/p>\n

How Often Should a Check-up Be Done?<\/span><\/h2>\n

The frequency of check-ups depends on an individual\u2019s health condition. Generally, individuals over the age of 40 should undergo a health check every two years, while those under 40 should undergo an annual health check. Follow the pre-check-up instructions carefully.<\/span>
\nPlan all your health checks in advance.<\/span><\/p>\n

You should fast for at least 10 hours before your check-up.<\/span><\/p>\n

Avoid alcohol consumption for 48-72 hours before your check-up.<\/span><\/p>\n

For female patients, it\u2019s advisable not to undergo a check-up during their menstrual cycle.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you experience an unexpected start to your menstrual cycle, please inform the Check-up Team when making your reservation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bring any medications you are taking and previous medical records to your doctor\u2019s consultation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Inform your doctor if you have any allergic reactions to medications.<\/span><\/p>\n

Who Needs a Check-up?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Regardless of how healthy an individual may be, everyone needs a check-up. The most common causes of premature death worldwide are heart, lung, intestinal, kidney diseases, and cancer. Early detection is an important way to prevent these diseases. Periodic check-ups are a good step towards maintaining health. It is especially recommended for individuals with a family history of diabetes, high blood pressure, cholesterol, or heart disease, as well as those who smoke or engage in risky behaviors, to undergo health screenings early.<\/span><\/p>\n

How Are Check-up Procedures Performed?<\/span><\/h2>\n

We conduct all evaluations in a peaceful and comfortable environment. A dedicated check-up team will accompany you through each step of the health check to ensure your comfort.<\/span>
\nBased on the package you choose, you will first undergo specific examinations. After a qualified doctor reviews the results, appropriate medical advice will be given, and necessary steps can be taken to improve your health. Most reports are reviewed by the doctor on the same day. If certain tests require more time, you will be informed.<\/span><\/p>\n

What You Should Know About Check-up Procedures<\/span><\/h2>\n

Your blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, and body mass index are crucial indicators of your overall health. By monitoring these Basic Health Indicators, our doctors will carefully observe any deviations and provide necessary recommendations for improvement. Some of the health parameters we monitor during check-ups include:<\/span>
\nHemogram<\/a> \u2013 A complete blood count is used to evaluate your general health and detect a wide range of disorders, including anemia, infection, and leukemia.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lipid Profile \u2013 A cholesterol lipid profile is part of a cardiac risk assessment to help determine an individual\u2019s risk of heart disease.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chest X-ray \u2013 A chest X-ray produces images of the heart, lungs, airways, blood vessels, spine, and chest bones. It is particularly important for smokers or those exposed to toxic substances.<\/span><\/p>\n

ECG \u2013 An electrocardiogram checks the heart\u2019s rhythm and helps a doctor detect the presence of heart disease by assessing the condition of the heart muscles.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fecal Occult Blood Test \u2013 Checks the functioning of the digestive system. If any trace of blood is found in the stool, it could indicate a bowel disorder.<\/span><\/p>\n

Urinalysis \u2013 Used to examine any irregularities, such as inflammation of the bladder or kidney disease in the urinary tract.<\/span><\/p>\n

Liver Function Test \u2013 This screening test helps detect the presence of liver disease at an early stage. It checks for abnormalities in liver enzymes and bilirubin metabolism.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kidney Function Test \u2013 This test is done to detect abnormalities in kidney function.<\/span><\/p>\n

Complete Abdominal Ultrasound \u2013 Used to diagnose abnormalities in various internal organs, such as the kidneys, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, and abdominal aorta.<\/span><\/p>\n

Height and Weight<\/span><\/h4>\n

Whether you\u2019re going for a regular physical examination or another check-up, your doctor will likely measure your height and weight. This is necessary to calculate your body mass index. Keeping your body mass index in a healthy range can help protect you from heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers. If your body mass index is not in a healthy range, your doctor will recommend steps to bring it into that range.<\/span><\/p>\n

Blood Pressure<\/span><\/h4>\n

It measures the pressure your blood exerts on your arteries. If it\u2019s too high, your chances of heart disease and stroke increase. Normal blood pressure is less than 120 over 80. Doctors define high blood pressure or hypertension as 130 over 80 or higher. Starting at age 18, you should have your blood pressure checked at least every two years. If it\u2019s high, you may need to have it checked more often. Ask your doctor how often you should have it checked.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cholesterol<\/span><\/h4>\n

This is a type of fat in your blood. High cholesterol can lead to heart disease and stroke. If you’re over 20 years old, you should check your cholesterol every 4-6 years. Your doctor may recommend more frequent testing if you are an older adult, male, overweight, or have the following conditions:<\/span>
\nA family history of heart disease or high cholesterol.<\/span><\/p>\n

Diabetes<\/span><\/h4>\n

A personal history of high cholesterol.<\/span><\/p>\n

Colorectal Cancer Screening<\/span><\/h4>\n

Tests look for cancer by checking for blood in the colon or rectum or by detecting growths called polyps. If you\u2019re at average risk for cancer, start these tests at age 45. <\/span>
\nThe fecal immunochemical test (FIT) should be done annually. A sigmoidoscopy, where your doctor examines part of your colon, should be done every 5 years. Depending on your doctor’s findings, a colonoscopy may be recommended every 3-10 years to examine the entire colon.<\/span><\/p>\n

Blood Sugar Test<\/span><\/h4>\n

This test checks if you have diabetes or prediabetes. It\u2019s a simple test that measures the sugar (glucose) level in your blood. You should begin routine tests at age 45. Your doctor may recommend earlier testing if:<\/span>
\nYou are overweight, have high cholesterol or blood pressure, or have a history of gestational diabetes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bone Density<\/span><\/h4>\n

As you age, your bones become thinner and weaker. Over time, this can lead to a condition called osteoporosis, where your bones are very weak and easily fractured. If you’re a woman over 65 or a man over 70, you should have your bone density tested. If your doctor finds that your bones are weak, treatments are available.<\/span>
\nYour doctor may recommend testing earlier if:<\/span><\/p>\n

You’ve had a history of bone fractures, long-term steroid use, rheumatoid arthritis, or a parent who fractured their hip after a minor injury.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mammogram<\/span><\/h4>\n

This X-ray test looks for changes in the breast. Experts disagree about how often you should get this test and when you should start. Talk to your doctor at age 40. They may suggest waiting until 50 or recommend starting immediately. Once you begin, some experts recommend getting one every year, while others suggest every 2 years. Discuss what\u2019s best for you with your doctor.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cervical Cancer Screening<\/span><\/h4>\n

There are a few tests for this. A Pap test checks for changes in your cervix that could lead to cancer. Your doctor will use a tool called a speculum to widen your vagina and take some cells for examination.<\/span>
\nA sample may also be used for an HPV screening, which looks for a virus that can cause cell changes that lead to cervical cancer. This can be done at your doctor\u2019s office. Talk to your doctor starting at age 21 to determine the best approach. You can get both tests or just one.<\/span><\/p>\n

Prostate Evaluation<\/span><\/h4>\n

Experts differ on how often men should be tested for prostate cancer. Most men will want to start discussing this with their doctors around age 50. African-American men and those with a family history of prostate cancer may want to start discussions between ages 40 and 45. Most of the time, the test is a blood test called a PSA test.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why Should I Get a Check-up?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Regular medical check-ups are essential to confirm that you are in good health and to detect any medical issues before they arise. They also play a crucial role in treating diseases\/disorders in their early stages, significantly improving the chances of full recovery. This leads to a happier, healthier, and longer life. These are forms of preventive health measures or preventive health screenings.<\/span><\/p>\n
