What tests everyone needs to take every year
Regular tests that are recommended every year to check your overall health may include:
1. a General Blood Test (GBC). This test gives general information about the number of red and white blood cells, platelets and other parameters that may indicate various diseases.
2. urinalysis. Helps to detect a variety of problems such as bladder infections, kidney disease and others.
3. biochemical blood test. Assesses the level of various chemicals in the blood such as glucose, creatinine, bilirubin, liver enzymes, lipid profile, electrolytes, and others.
4. an electrocardiogram will show how the heart is working.
5. fluorography can rule out lung disease.
6. tests for HIV, hepatitis and syphilis. Everyone uses the services of dentists, beauticians, does manicures, tattooing or tattooing. You can get infected through unsterile instruments, so it is better to do these tests every year.
7. gynaecologist and mammologist for women. An annual check-up with a gynaecologist should also include pelvic ultrasound and colposcopy – this will help to learn more about women’s health, which will help to prevent the occurrence of gynaecological diseases.
9. Ultrasound and thyroid hormone testing. Blood tests for thyroid hormone will help to know its level in a person’s blood to rule out hypothyroidism and thyrotoxicosis, and ultrasound is needed to have an idea of the state of the thyroid gland.
Recommendations can vary depending on each person’s age, medical history, lifestyle, and other factors. It is important to discuss an individualised screening plan with your doctor.
The designation of World Women’s Health Day, authorised by the US National Archives Foundation, marks an important milestone in the global health calendar.
The day is based on recognition of the physical and mental health challenges faced by women, complicated by their roles as mothers, daughters, partners and professionals.
