You are never too early
for a complete body check up irrespective
of your age or medical history. In fact,
a body check up can help detect any
fatal diseases and put you on the right
path of treatment for a speedy recovery.
All major hospitals have a full body
check up package including a complete
blood profile, cardiac exam, hemogram
and consultation with a cardiologist.
The package will usually include a complete
physical examination of your weight,
height, blood pressure, and a preliminary
consultation with the doctor. You will
give samples for urine and feces examination.
You will get your eyesight tested. You
will undergo blood tests for sugar,
urea, creatinine, and uric acid, cholesterol
and lipid profile. A complete blood
test includes detection of blood group,
hemoglobin, TLC, platelet count, hematocrit,
ESR and peripheral smear. You will undergo
a chest X-ray and your ECG will be monitored.
A stress test will give the status report
on your heart. You can consult a psychologist
to learn stress –busting techniques.
Women have to undergo a complete gynecological
check-up, a Pap smear test and a mammogram.
Once you have the lab reports you will
follow up with the doctor who will suggest
lifestyle medications for a healthier
and tension free life.
