One way to prevent or detect early disease is by having periodic health evaluations. The examinations and tests are designed to detect disease and monitor the status of your health. Screening tests may catch a problem at an early, treatable stage.
Health care needs vary from person to person, age to age, and situation to situation.
Periodic health evaluations may be recommended based upon your specific needs. A review of your family and personal history determines your risk for chronic or inherited diseases. Hygiene, diet, and exercise habits are identified during a fitness assessment. A sexual evaluation checks growth and development, risk behaviors, birth control options, and disease prevention. This evaluation is based on age and gender.
