What is Check-Up?
Today, many diseases affecting the human body can be diagnosed and treated early without late intervention. In this way, a significant part of the diseases can be controlled. Many illnesses may seem like minor health problems.
However, if these are not removed without delay by taking the necessary precautions, this may cause greater health problems in the future. The progression of diseases is an invitation to chronic diseases. At this point, check up is an extremely useful application.
Routine health screenings are necessary to detect diseases that do not show symptoms in the early period. For this reason, individuals should not disrupt their routine controls even if they do not have any signs of illness. Thanks to these health screenings called check-ups, you can take early precautions against possible diseases.
Routine controls are determined according to the person’s health status, genetic risk factors, age, height and weight, gender and medical history. After the relevant factors are determined, the necessary screening tests are performed. Thus, people get information about their general health status.
Every year, many patients from different parts of the world visit our country for check-up procedures in Turkey. Health institutions in Turkey use the latest and state-of-the-art equipment in their check-up services, and the results of the analysis are interpreted by Turkish doctors who are experts in their fields.

How to Check Up?
In order for the person to be checked-up, first of all, all necessary information must be provided. For this, the detailed history of the applicant should be heard. At this stage, the general health status of the person, diagnosed diseases, previous treatments and family health conditions are examined. Then, a physical examination is started and the findings are recorded.
In the physical examination, values such as blood pressure, pulse and respiration are measured. At the same time, a check-up scan is performed for the heart and a cardiological examination is performed. In the brain check-up scan, a neurological examination is performed to evaluate the nervous system. The type of examination to be performed also differs according to gender. While breast examination is performed in women, prostate examination is performed in older men. These can be added to the physical exam.

Woman Check Up
Some diseases are more common in women. Especially old and young women can be at risk for health problems. Check-up programs for women are made considering the diseases that women are prone to. In addition, the contents of the package can be changed and personalized depending on the age group of the client.
In particular, diseases such as breast cancer, cervical cancer, varicose veins, thyroid and uterine cancer are more common in women than in men.
Menopause is a condition that develops in women and occurs in hormones. There may be some health problems related to this.
Problems related to the pregnancy period also appear in these tests. Heart, internal diseases, obstetrics, mammography and general surgery controls come to the fore in the check-up package designed for women.
Male Check Up
It is important that men also have health checkups for possible diseases. Men are especially at risk for diseases such as cardiac diseases, diabetes, cancer, prostate. These diseases, which are diagnosed at a late stage, can lead to important health problems.
For this, early diagnosis should be made. For this reason, in the examinations to be made for men, the diseases that men are prone to are taken into account and a package content is arranged accordingly.
Child Check Up
Children need health checkups just as much as adult men and women. During the controls, the physical and psychological development of the child is examined. If there are incomplete vaccinations, these are done after the necessary examinations. If there is a regression or problem in the development of the child that should not be, this is determined. Treatments for the detected problem are started without delay.
Special screening packages for infants, children and adolescents may differ. However, in general, examinations such as physical examination, eye examination, hearing screening, urinalysis, immune system control, allergy test are performed. You can have a check-up for your child at the interval recommended by your doctor.

Who Should Have a Check Up?
We recommend that adult male individuals over the age of 40 and people with genetic diseases such as diabetes, blood pressure, obesity and prostate cancer in family members have the necessary check-ups at regular intervals. In addition, individuals in the risk group for these diseases should have the necessary examinations done once a year in the presence of a specialist doctor.
How Often Should Check Up Be Done?
We recommend that healthy people who are under the age of 40 and do not have any known risk factors should have a check-up once every 2 years. It is healthier for individuals over the age of 40 to have check-ups more frequently. In particular, people with a previously identified health problem should have the necessary tests done once a year.
However, during this period, necessary physician controls should not be interrupted. Patients at risk should undergo necessary screenings every 3 months, 6 months or once a year. The required time interval is set by your doctor. Adhering to the treatment plan recommended by the physician is of great importance in stopping the progression of the existing disease and increasing the chances of success in the treatment.

Check-up time varies according to the person’s health status, whether there is an additional disease, age and gender. Since some people have risk factors, they should have the necessary tests done at an earlier age than others.
It is especially important for people aged 50 and under to have a check-up every 3 years. Thus, they can prevent possible chronic diseases. In addition, people under this age have the necessary tests done in advance, which increases the chance of early diagnosis.
People aged 50 and over are at risk for diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, some types of cancer and osteoporosis. It is best for people in this group to have a check-up screening every year.
How Long Does Check Up Take?
A detailed physical examination is performed for check-up. After the evaluation, help is obtained from blood and imaging techniques that are necessary. After the blood tests are examined in the laboratory, the results are awaited. The final evaluation is made by the doctor with the results.
After that, the person is informed about his/her health status. This process usually takes one day. It can take several hours to get the results of the tests. However, since the package contents of each patient are different, the evaluation of some patients may take more time.
When Will Check Up Results Come Out?
When the results will come depends on the type of tests administered to the person. What kind of processes the transactions go through can also affect this time. It usually takes several hours to get the results of laboratory tests and radiological methods. The type of devices used in the examinations can also affect the duration of the results.
Can Cancer Be Prevented With Check Up?
The most important step in cancer treatment is early detection. Thus, the disease can be prevented before it develops, and the developing cancer can be brought under control before it reaches the upper stages. Thus, it is vital to start treatment as early as possible. Especially some risk groups should have control tests for the diagnosis of cancer at certain intervals.
Some blood tests and imaging methods within the scope of check-up can detect cancer in this regard. Thus, early diagnosis is provided. After getting information about this condition, people can start cancer treatment and change their lifestyle as needed. For this reason, having a check-up is very important in terms of preventing cancer.
Things to Do Before Check Up
Before having a check-up, it is important to be informed about some issues in order to get the most accurate results. Issues to be considered are as follows:
- To stop eating and drinking after 12 o'clock at night. No breakfast or snacks in the morning.
- Not to consume cigarettes, other tobacco products, tea and coffee.
- Not to drink more than one glass of water after 12 pm.
- Not drinking alcohol 3 days before the scan.
- Not using some normally used drugs on the check-up day.
- Not exercising on the check-up day and going to the examination in comfortable clothes.
- Not going to screening tests on the day of menstrual bleeding.
- To inform the doctor about pregnancy, if there is any suspicion of pregnancy.
- To inform the physician about the end of previous tests, if any.
Drug Use Before Check Up
Some of the drugs that are normally used before screening tests should definitely not be used. This is important so that the test results are correct. Vitamin and mineral supplements, nutritional supplements and iron medications should be discontinued 3 days before the examination. The use of blood thinners should be stopped 5 days before the examination, provided that it is under the control of a physician.
If the stool occult blood test is not performed, blood thinners can be continued to be used by informing the health officials. It is not necessary to stop the use of drugs that are used continuously for chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, rheumatism and heart diseases. The doses of the relevant drugs should be taken after the necessary controls are completed.
