Prevention is the key to good health, but in order for a disease - or risk of disease - to be detected and therefore prevented, regular health checks are essential. In fact, a health screening is the only way to identify any risk of disease in an otherwise apparently healthy person. Many conditions, such as high cholesterol or high blood pressure, can be present without you noticing any symptoms.
International Medical Clinic provides health checks for kids, men and women. The clinic's Well Woman health check includes screening of your full medical history, plus a comprehensive physical examination. Depending on your age and medical background, you might also need:
- Blood nalysis: screening for cholesterol and blood sugar.
- Urine Analysis: screening for kidney disease.
- Stool Analysis: screening for colon cancer.
- Mammogram and/or breast ultrasound.
- Bone mineral density test: screening for osteoporosis.
- ECG and Exercise stress test: screening for heart disease.
- Cervical (PAP) Smear.
