In the hustle and bustle of life, we often compare our body to a precision instrument. The daily work seems to be the high-speed operation of the instrument, and regular physical examination is the key and necessary maintenance and inspection of this instrument.
Regular physical examination is the first solid line of defense to prevent diseases. In the early stage, many diseases are often silent without any obvious symptoms, just like hidden enemies lurking in the body. For example, in the early stage of cancer, the body may not be aware of it, but through the detection of tumor markers in physical examination, imaging examination and other means, it can be found before it develops and grows. Like Japan, the early detection rate of cancer is at the leading level in the world, largely due to the universal regular cancer screening and physical examination. Early detection of cancer patients, after timely and effective treatment, the five-year survival rate can be greatly improved, and some even close to 100%, which undoubtedly wins the most precious survival time and cure opportunity for patients. For some chronic diseases, such as hypertension and diabetes, after early physical examination, we can intervene by non-drug means such as lifestyle adjustment, reasonable diet and moderate exercise, which can effectively delay or even prevent the further development of the disease, avoid serious complications in the future, and reduce the great pain and high treatment costs borne by patients.
Physical examination can also accurately evaluate the physical function and provide scientific guidance for healthy living. Comprehensive physical examination projects cover all physical indicators, from routine examinations such as blood and urine, to instruments such as electrocardiogram and ultrasound, and then to frontier projects such as genetic testing. Together, they outline a detailed portrait of physical function. Long-term monitoring of blood lipids, blood glucose, blood pressure and other indicators can clearly show the trend of cardiovascular health and remind us to adjust the diet structure and exercise mode in time; Bone mineral density detection can let us know the strength of bones and prevent osteoporosis in advance; The examination of liver function and renal function reflects the operation of important metabolic organs of the body, so that we can arrange our work and rest reasonably and avoid the intake of harmful substances. Every data in the physical examination report is a signal sent by the body. The interpretation of professional doctors is like a guide for these signals, so that we can understand how to care for the body in daily life, which habits need to be changed and which behaviors are worth continuing.
In the long run, regular physical examination is a cost-effective health investment. Some people think that physical examination takes time and money, which seems to be "low cost performance", but from the overall health bill, it is not. The cost of a comprehensive regular physical examination is relatively fixed and controllable, but if you wait until the outbreak of diseases, especially major diseases, the cost of treatment is often astronomical, which brings a heavy economic burden to the family. Moreover, the pain in the process of disease treatment and the impact on life and work are even more difficult to measure with money. Regular physical examination can nip the disease in the bud, or take effective measures to control its development at the early stage of the disease, so as to avoid endless troubles caused by the deterioration of the disease. It is also a huge savings in time and energy costs, so that we can concentrate on our lives and careers with more peace of mind and enjoy the freedom and happiness brought by health.
Regular physical examination is by no means a dispensable form, it is an indispensable cornerstone of modern healthy life. It unveils the mystery of the body for us, so that we are no longer passively beaten in the face of diseases, but have the power of active defense and precise response, guarding the quality and length of our lives and accompanying us through a long and fulfilling life journey.
