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 can catch a problem at an early, treatable stage.
Health care needs vary from person to person, age to age, and situation to situation.
Your own healthcare provider will recommend the following steps based upon your needs. A review of your family and personal history, to determine the risk for chronic or inherited diseases. A fitness check, to include a discussion of hygiene, diet, and exercise. A sexual evaluation, which, depending on your age and gender, will check growth and development, risk behaviors, birth control options, and disease prevention. A social and mental assessment for abuse, family relationship problems, and personal growth issues.
