Preventive check-up with a practitioner

Do you know that prevention starts with the practitioner? That you are entitled to a free comprehensive preventive check-up every 2 years from the age of 18? And that even if you don't have any health problems, you shouldn't postpone them, because only diseases detected in the initial stage can be treated well?

And what awaits you during a general preventive examination?

  • Complete physical examination
  • Measurement of blood pressure and body mass index (BMI)
  • Orientation examination of sight and hearing
  • Examination of blood sugar and cholesterol concentration
  • Examination of kidney, lung and heart function (ECG)
  • Neurological examination
  • Urine examination
  • Skin examination
  • Vaccination check
  • Completion of the patient's history and risk assessment
  • Recommendations for screening examinations

A preventive examination can also help detect diabetes, high blood pressure, fat metabolism disorders, e.g. high cholesterol, diseases of the circulatory system, diseases of the central nervous system, kidney damage, sensory impairment (loss of vision, hearing), cancer of the breast, prostate, testicles, colon and rectal or skin cancer.

Do not forget that if you do not go for preventive examinations and screening examinations, you risk that a possible oncological disease will not be detected in time. And don't forget to make an appointment with the practitioner in advance!
