Health Screening
A brief digest about this topic
Screening refers to a test or exam done to find a condition before symptoms begin. Screening tests may help find diseases or conditions early, when they are easier to treat. Some conditions that doctors commonly screen for include
- Breast cancer and cervical cancer in women
- Colorectal cancer
- Diabetes
- High blood pressure
- High cholesterol
- Osteoporosis
- Prostate cancer in men
Which tests you need depends on your age, your sex, your family history and whether you have risk factors for certain diseases. For example, being overweight may increase your risk of developing diabetes.
