People usually avoid going for health checkups unless there are some major health issues bothering them. But one thing we must remember is that chronic diseases may not manifest any symptoms in the early stages. This means that how good you feel about your health is not the right way to determine your inner body health.
Diagnostic tests help to identify infectious or non-infectious diseases and about 70%* of the medical decisions are based on these diagnostic results. The benefits of diagnostic tests are numerous, e.g. it helps in the prevention of disease, identifying the causative agent, and in making the right treatment decisions. However, people are still reluctant to get themselves tested.
Why people avoid getting a medical checkup?
The myth that medical checkups are meant for the elderly
Many youths in our country believe that regular exercising and following a healthy diet are the only necessary measures to stay healthy and regular checkups are meant for elderly people who often fall sick.
Busy life schedule
While people try hard to maintain their work-life balance, they often forget to keep a check on their health.
Fear of error in the tests
People often face the dilemma about which diagnostics center can they rely upon to get an error-free test done.
Financial fear
People avoid getting a health checkup to save money or due to the fear of spending a lot on the tests. However, they fail to realize that treating a condition at a later stage can cost them even more of an amount.
Why should you get a regular medical checkup?
Check for emergency health problems
Health conditions like prostate cancer, cervical cancer, kidney or heart failure may not always show noticeable symptoms or signs. And letting such deadly conditions worsen, might cost you your life. Diagnostic tests can alert you about the high risks of developing a certain disease and help you to take the necessary precautions to prevent it.
Reduces the risk of trial and error treatment
Some conditions like kidney diseases might manifest common symptoms like upset stomach, dizziness, or pain while urinating. We often tend to ignore such symptoms or visit a general physician who might not recognize the condition in the initial stages. With an appropriate diagnostic test you can find the exact problem and its cause, and this helps to limit the healthcare costs you spend on finding the right treatment.
Helps to maintain a healthy lifestyle
Knowing about your health and future health risks encourages you to maintain a healthy lifestyle and assess your health on a regular basis
At Apollo Diagnostics, we understand that high-quality diagnostics are imperative for a better treatment so we ensure to provide error-free tests and accurate test reports. So get yourself tested with us at least once a year to avoid any health complications.
