A medical check-up or medical examination, also known as health screening is a routine assessment of a person’s health performed by a doctor or medical professional. Usually, the patients can identify or know which of their body parts require more attention in order to address symptoms and other health issues with the assistance of their physician.

Health is wealth. However, many of us tend to take our health for granted until we face a serious health issue. This is where preventive healthcare comes into play. Regular health check-ups can help detect potential health problems early on, allowing for timely interventions and better health outcomes.

The importance of regular check-ups is priceless. It is a well worth investment when you consider the potential health outcomes. So, if you’re looking to take your health to the next level, you consider an ultra-advanced health check-up today.

We provide complete, holistic preventive health evaluations utilizing a comprehensive set of evidence-based assessments to develop a thorough understanding of your health status. Each program begins with a thorough consultation with your executive health physician to assess your overall health and identify any concerns. The testing protocol is individualized based on your life stage and any identified risk factors. By scheduling a variety of assessments during your visit, the doctors will gain a comprehensive understanding of your health profile and provide you with the convenience of completing these tests in a single location.

The checkup program culminates with a detailed meeting with your physician to review your results and develop a plan to improve your health, address any identified issues, and target any risk factors that may affect your health.

The investigations is carried out using the newest available technology. This is why it is so important to choose well not only the professional, but also the clinic where the check-up is to be performed. This is to ensure that your health status is investigated in depth and avoid receiving superficial results.

Diagnostic imaging techniques such as ultrasonography, x-rays, MRIs, and CT scans are revolutionizing the future of medicine with 3D holographic models that display complete anatomical detail and provide insight into the human biological system.

Another possible preventive measure may be represented by genetic tests, which are a laboratory procedure used to analyze genes. The instructions contained in the DNA that we inherit from our parents are called genes. Occasionally, these instructions contain variants or defects known as mutations, which can predispose, cause, or be one of the causes of health problems and diverse diseases. For some people, these genetic tests are extremely helpful. When performed correctly, they can reveal a disease or a propensity to develop certain conditions, and they can lead to the testing of close relatives. Preventive measures and therapies can save lives.

In other instances, genetic testing results may provide information that you already possess, may be unhelpful, or may even be deceptive. Testing could reveal, for instance, that you have a genetic mutation that rarely causes health issues.

Check-ups for Women

Even if you are a woman who exercises regularly, eats healthily, and schedules me-time to relax and recharge during your busy day, you should not forget that health screenings are an essential part of your overall health. There are numerous types of health checks and screenings that are appropriate for women of different ages. Some are routine, while others are based on family history. 

There is no right age to start getting tested and every woman as she gets older should gradually incorporate more and more routine exams. Some of these are:

  • Gynecological Ultrasound: should take part of your regular, yearly visits
  • Pap and human papillomavirus (HPV) test: every three years beginning in the twenties. Co-testing for HPV and Pap should begin at age 30 and be repeated at least every five years.
  • Tests for sexually transmitted diseases (STD): Sexual health screenings should begin as soon as sexual activity begins.
  • Diabetes screening: If there are no risk factors for diabetes, screenings should begin at age 35 and be repeated every three years.
  • Mammogram: The current recommendation is for women without a family history of breast cancer to undergo their first mammogram beginning at age 40, and then annually thereafter. Women with a strong family history of breast cancer may be advised to undergo mammograms earlier and more frequently.
  • Skin examination and mole mapping: Beginning at age 18, you should examine your skin monthly for suspicious moles or color changes, especially if you have fair skin or are constantly exposed to the sun.
  • Colonoscopy: This test aids in the detection and removal of asymptomatic polyps that may develop into colon cancer. The screenings should begin at age 45, but if you have a family history, you may need to be screened earlier.
  • Test for cholesterol: For women with no risk factors, cholesterol screening should begin at age 45, while those with risk factors should begin at age 20. Among the risk factors are diabetes, heart or kidney disease, and other medical conditions.
  • Screening for lung cancer: beginning at age 50 if you currently smoke or have a smoking history.
  • Bone density test: Your bones are less likely to break the denser they are. If you have a thin frame or other significant risk factors, you should begin testing at age 50. Otherwise, the standard recommendation is to begin at age 65 and continue at least every three years.
  • Hearing exam: Hearing loss affects mental processes and can diminish quality of life. Get your hearing checked every 10 years until the age of 50, and then every year after that.
  • Eye exam: A baseline ophthalmological consultation is recommended for adults at age 18, then every two years until age 60, unless there is a problem such as diabetes. Beginning at age 60, annual eye exams are recommended.

Check-ups for Men

In the past, men have been unwilling to seek medical attention when something appears to be wrong with their health. Additionally, men are less likely than women to receive preventive screenings and checkups from their healthcare team. This is a problem because early detection of a medical issue is the most effective method for enhancing the efficacy of condition treatment and management.

Delaying or avoiding a checkup or screening could result in a potentially treatable condition becoming fatal. Although a check-up should always be personalized according to your lifestyle, environment or family history, there are certain general recommendations regarding the standard periodical screenings for men: abdominal aortic aneurysm ultrasound, Blood pressure, Cholesterol, Diabetes, Colon cancer, Prostate cancer and Lung Cancer, and, in particular according to their age:

Men between the ages of 18 and 39

  • Comprehensive medical evaluation – Every two to three years, you should schedule a wellness exam with your primary care physician. After age 40, these visits should become yearly.
  • Blood pressure – High blood pressure has no symptoms, but its effects can be severe. Regardless of age, you should have your blood pressure checked annually. You can perform this test on your own by using a machine at a local pharmacy or supermarket.
  • Skin cancer – Men should examine themselves for skin abnormalities or alterations to existing marks, such as a change in size, shape, or color.
  • Reproductive health testing and tests for sexually transmitted diseases (STD)

Men between the ages of 40 and 49

In addition to the above tests, you should also be screened for:

  • Cholesterol – High levels of LDL, or ‘bad’ cholesterol, can lead to serious health issues, such as heart disease. After the age of 40, men should have a cholesterol blood test once a year. If high cholesterol runs in your family, you should begin testing sooner.
  • After the age of 40, you should undergo an eye exam every two to four years. If you suffer from vision problems, your doctor may recommend having them more frequently.
  • After the age of 45, you should undergo a blood test every three years to screen for diabetes. Ask your doctor about beginning screening at a younger age if you are overweight.

Over 50 years old

In addition to the above tests, you should also be screened for:

  • Colon cancer – You should be screened for colon cancer after the age of 50, particularly if you have a family history or risk factors such as inflammatory bowel disease, polyps, or ulcerative colitis. A stool occult blood test or a colonoscopy can be utilized for screening. 
  • Osteoporosis – After age 50, you should consult your doctor about osteoporosis. If you have risk factors, he or she may recommend a screening. These factors may include a family history of osteoporosis, a low body mass index, and bone fractures after age 40.
  • Other forms of cancer, including lung, liver, prostate, etc.

Prevention is a critical part of maintaining healthy lives and ultimately living longer. Through regular screening and early detection, it is possible to avoid health problems and live a fuller, healthier life.

Check-up Packages

Our goal is to select for you the most advances health check-ups, that go beyond the standard physical exams and blood tests, using cutting-edge technology to provide a more detailed and accurate picture of your health. Among the benefits there are:

Early Detection of Diseases: Ultra-advanced health check-ups use advanced imaging techniques like MRI, CT scans, and PET scans, which can detect diseases at an early stage when treatment is more effective. For example, a full-body MRI can detect tumors and other abnormalities that may not be visible through a physical exam or blood test.

Personalized Health Plans: the assessments provide a comprehensive analysis of your health, including genetic testing, microbiome analysis, and metabolic profiling. This information can be used to create a personalized health plan that takes into account your unique needs and risk factors.

Improved Accuracy: Ultra-advanced health check-ups use high-tech equipment and techniques that provide more accurate and detailed results. For example, a coronary CT angiogram can detect blockages in the heart’s blood vessels with greater accuracy than a traditional stress test.

Stress-free Experience: For many people, health check-ups can be stressful and anxiety-inducing. We selected special advanced health check-ups which can provide a more stress-free experience, as they are often conducted in a spa-like environment that is designed to promote relaxation and comfort.
