According to general practitioner Alessandro Stival, men and women have the potential to develop health problems depending on age and according to each one’s family history. These pathologies can be identified through the annual check-up.

“Routine exams are essential for health, well-being and quality of life. Through them, it is possible to diagnose diseases at an early stage, increasing the chances of cure through adequate treatment”, emphasizes Stival.

According to the clinician, the frequency for carrying out the tests usually varies according to the age group and health conditions of the individual.

Stival scores the most common exams done in a check-up:

• Laboratory tests of blood and urine;
• Electrocardiogram;
• Ultrasonography;
• X-ray;
• Computed tomography (in cases of further investigation);
• Mammography (in cases of further investigation);
• Magnetic resonance imaging (in cases of further investigation).

The clinical physician is responsible for assertively guiding which tests are most suitable for each individual’s check-up. For Stival, if necessary, the professional will also direct and indicate other specialists who should be consulted.
