Medical tests aren’t just for diagnosing an issue once symptoms appear – they are also routinely used as a vital aspect of preventive health care. Routine screenings allow for you and your medical team to have baseline numbers on a variety of biometrics, thus providing the opportunity to notice when there are changes – whether good or not so good. An early diagnosis can potentially come from one of these screenings or the conversations had with your doctor, which could lead to less invasive and even more successful treatment plans. The routine screenings you personally need may change over time, based on your family history, previous diagnoses, age, etc. Review the link below, but only use it as a starting point to your own screenings schedule. Discuss a personalized plan with your medical provider.
