What does a Check Up doctor do?
A check-up is a planned package of investigations performed without symptoms to catch disease at an early stage: a doctor's examination, blood and urine tests, ECG, ultrasound and age- and sex-appropriate screening (mammography, colonoscopy, prostate marker). The aim is to find high blood pressure, diabetes, cholesterol, liver and kidney problems and some cancers before they cause symptoms. The package is chosen by age, sex, family history and risk factors.
Common reasons to consult
- Annual preventive check-up
- Comprehensive check after 40
- Family history of chronic disease
- Pre-employment and pre-sports examination
- Not having seen a doctor for a long time
- Reviewing results with a doctor
Frequently asked questions
From what age and how often is a check-up needed?
Healthy adults are advised a check-up every 2 years after 30 and once a year after 40. Smokers, people who are overweight and those with early heart disease, diabetes or cancer in the family should be checked earlier and more regularly.
What does a standard check-up include?
Usually: a doctor's examination and blood pressure, complete blood count, blood sugar and HbA1c, lipid profile, liver and kidney values, thyroid, vitamin D, urine test, ECG and abdominal ultrasound. After 40, mammography and a gynaecological examination are added for women, PSA for men, and colonoscopy for everyone from 45–50.
How should I prepare for a check-up?
Fast for 8–12 hours for the blood tests (water is allowed), agree your morning medication with the doctor and bring previous test results. Avoid heavy exercise and alcohol the day before; a full bladder may be needed for the ultrasound.
If all results are normal, do I need to come back?
Yes — a check-up is a snapshot, and many diseases develop over years. A normal result sets a baseline to compare against at the next check; the doctor will tell you when to return and which tests to repeat according to your risk factors.
