Get Annual Health Checkups to Avoid the Risk of Late-Stage Cancer!
You cannot determine if you have cancer just by looking at your external health, because most cancers develop without obvious symptoms. Some signs may cause suspicion, but cancer is often diagnosed only after screening. However, before cancer develops, which no one wants to face, we can “observe symptoms and identify suspicious causes” early. Initial screening is also available for those at risk, such as:
- Liver cancer screening – for people with cirrhosis or carriers of hepatitis B virus
- Cervical cancer screening – women aged 21 and above, regardless of sexual history, can undergo screening
- Colorectal cancer screening – people without risk factors should start screening at age 50 or older; those with family history of colorectal cancer can consult a doctor for earlier screening
Screening is a preliminary examination aimed at preventing cancer in at-risk groups only.
If you want to maintain your health and confidence, you should choose to have regular annual health checkups. This helps you monitor your health condition and receive timely treatment. Typically, tests include blood sugar and lipid levels, urine tests, liver and kidney function, complete blood count, and electrocardiogram, among others. The results indicate whether your health is good or if dangerous conditions like diabetes, hypertension, or clogged arteries are present. Early treatment prevents long-term complications and life-threatening situations.
Choosing the right health checkup should be appropriate and comprehensive based on your age, as body function and health risks differ in each life stage. At Synphaet Lamlukka Hospital, we offer various screening programs covering men, women, and different age groups, such as:
+ Health Checkup Program for People Under 35 Years Old
+ Program for People Over 35 Years Old
Annual health checkups remain very important because they allow early detection and timely treatment before health issues become severe. If you regularly observe suspicious symptoms, you should consult a doctor for accurate diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
