Importance
How important is having regular health checks?
In Health Checks the (Australian) Jean Hailes for Women’s Health (JH) explain:
“Having regular health checks is an important way to look after yourself. Health checks can identify risks or early signs of a health problem. They can also help you keep an eye on existing health issues. If you find health problems early, you have a better chance of treating and managing them”.2Health Care Provider
Even if I feel fine, do I still need to see my health care provider for regular checkups?
Even if you feel fine, it may be in your best interest to choose to see your health care provider for regular checkups.
In Health Screenings for Women Ages 40 To 64: Information the (United States) MedlinePlus elaborate on:
“Even if you feel fine, you should still see your provider for regular checkups. These visits can help you avoid problems in the future. For example, the only way to find out if you have high blood pressure is to have it checked regularly. High blood sugar and high cholesterol levels also may not have any symptoms in the early stages. A simple blood test can check for these conditions”.3
