As the legend goes, physicians in ancient Eastern cultures got paid only as long as their patients were healthy. Health preservation thus had an important role, just as the role of prevention became more important in the field of medicine in the last century once again.
One reason is that health preservation costs less than the treatment of the diseases that occur in the case of lacking health. The growing expenses of treating diseases on the one hand and rapid scientific and technological development on the other hand have involved the development of diagnostic devices that may be of enormous help in the prevention of diseases, their detection at an early stage and in selecting the right therapy.
There is a growing number of various diagnostic packages for patients of different life phases and ages and with various lifestyles who care about their health. These examinations aim to give a comprehensive picture of the health condition and status of individuals and assess the risk factors of potential or developing diseases.
The examinations always start with the discovery of the family and individual medical history and, after the evaluation of the examination results, are completed by making a medical opinion.
For people of every age group it is important to have a clear picture of their health condition irrespective of their gender or age.
For ladies above the age of 40 it is especially important to undergo a comprehensive internal medical examination since the risk of the development of tumorous diseases and osteoporosis grows with age.
Today there are several screening programmes focusing on the risk factors typical for this age group, with the help of which potential problems can be detected in time; among others, latent diseases or tumours can be discovered.
For people of every age group it is important to have a clear picture of their health condition irrespective of their gender or age.
Just like in the case of ladies, more attention should be paid to health above the age of 40 in the case of men as well, since there is unfortunately a higher risk of the occurrence of various tumorous or other diseases.
With the progress of age, the human body is increasingly less resistant, so it is worthwhile to make use of a comprehensive health assessment diagnostic package specifically custom-made for men.
