Importance of Annual Health Checkup

Importance of Annual Health Checkup

In this fast-paced life, people are consumed by work and have no time for themselves. The constant hustle-bustle has compelled people to make decisions that have compromised their commitment to their bodies and health. Knowingly or unknowingly, people have started overlooking the importance of a regular health checkup.

With the ever-increasing stress levels and the awareness around the benefits of preventive healthcare, people have now started opting for regular checkups that can help identify ailments even before the problem arises. Diet choices, medical advice, and exercise plans that help to lower the risk of lifestyle-related conditions and diseases are available in abundance, but nothing beats the effectiveness of an annual health check-up.

Health checkups when done regularly understand bodily changes and identify problems early. As a result, the treatments can also be started early. This eliminates the possibility of any complications. An early diagnosis can be important and life-changing for a patient with a disease like cancer.

With DocOnline’s regular health checkups, the patients get comprehensive tests and a selective approach as per their needs. There is also an added advantage with the availability of both onsite camps and home sample collection.

Let’s go over the importance of an annual health checkup-

  1. Prevention is better than cure
  2. At times, some basic health symptoms like fever with no other indication, abdominal pain, excessive thirst, a sudden change in appetite, etc are missed or ignored in everyday life. Certain conditions like diabetes, HIV/AIDS, high blood pressure, cancer, cholesterol, coronary artery disease and anaemia are a part of annual health checkups. Through these tests, doctors can tell a patient about the optimal functionality of the organs. A regular health checkup by dedicated doctors, backed by smart health check plans, customised based on age groups and health history helps the patient take charge and ensure that the right steps are taken at the prevention stage.

  3. Saving on healthcare costs
  4. At DocOnline, multiple healthcare providers are available under one roof. Annual health checkups can help prevent diseases and reduce the need for medical surgeries and treatments. An annual health check-up is an investment that yields returns in the long run. It helps to save on undergoing big, unexpected expenses and preventing illnesses.

  5. Being proactive instead of reactive
  6. A dedicated team of doctors, backed by experience and knowledge, helps patients react and respond to a situation as soon as they experience symptoms. A health checkup enables doctors to diagnose these diseases sooner than expected.

  7. Time is money
  8. An ailment is known to affect a patient's life, physically, mentally and emotionally. It adds to the stress and burden that they are already going through. Patients who get sick are forced to keep their routine life on hold to recover. With regular health checkups, this can be avoided. Annual checkups ensure that a patient is healthy and decrease the chance of them having to take time off because of sickness.

Annual health checkups are a goal and reminder for patients to take their health seriously. A healthy lifestyle followed by regular full-body checkups can be effective and beneficial. It reports on the things the patient has been doing well and identifies areas of concern where improvement is needed.
