Why Are Routine Health Checkups Important?
Routine health checkups can help you and your doctor review your general health and identify areas that may need further attention. The tests recommended depend on your age, medical history, symptoms and individual risk factors.
Which Tests May Be Recommended?
Depending on your healthcare needs, your doctor may recommend investigations such as a complete blood count, blood glucose testing, lipid profile, thyroid testing or urine examination. Not everyone needs every test.
Blood Sugar Testing
Blood glucose tests help assess blood sugar levels. Your doctor may recommend a fasting blood glucose test or HbA1c depending on your medical history and the reason for testing.
Cholesterol and Lipid Profile
A lipid profile measures different types of fats in the blood. Your doctor may use the results alongside other health information to assess cardiovascular risk and guide further care.
Complete Blood Count
A complete blood count, also called CBC, measures several components of blood, including red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. It may help doctors investigate certain symptoms or monitor existing conditions.
How Often Should You Get Tested?
There is no single testing schedule that is appropriate for everyone. The timing and selection of investigations should be based on your doctor's advice and individual healthcare requirements.
