A general medical check-up is a complete health evaluation by a physician or a nurse practitioner.
It checks your overall health, determines if you have any health problems, and helps you understand what you can do to improve your health.
A general medical check-up includes: •
- A physical exam
- A review of your medical history (including family medical history)
- Lab tests and blood tests to assess your risk for certain diseases, such as diabetes and heart disease
- Screenings for cancers and other conditions, including cholesterol testing and vision screening
- Other tests based on specific concerns
The goal of a general medical check-up is to identify any potential problems with your health and help you prevent future illnesses or injuries.
A general medical check-up is recommended by doctors for people who are generally healthy but have no symptoms or problems.
The frequency of the examination depends on your age, sex, family history and risk factors for certain diseases.
It may be more frequent if you have conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes mellitus, or if you take medications that increase the risk of heart disease or stroke.
