Why get annual check-ups?
Blood Tests
Blood tests aid in detecting certain diseases and conditions.
Blood tests help your doctor:
Evaluate how well your organs are functioning.
Diagnose diseases and conditions.
Find out if you have risk factors for heart disease.
Check whether your medications are working.
Assess how well your blood is clotting.
Blood tests can be done at your annual wellness exam with your primary care doctor.
Wellness Exam
Wellness exams are done annually with your primary care doctor. Annual wellness exams can prevent health problems and help you focus on maintaining your wellness.
What is normally included in a wellness exam?
Physical Examination
Vitals
Blood Tests
Personal & Family Medical Histories
Lifestyle & Health Choices
Screenings
Shots & Immunizations
Skin Checks
Guides are at higher risk for skin cancer due to their increased sun exposure. An annual skin check with a dermatologist or primary care doctor is recommended.
Contact your doctor if you have changing or unusual skin spots. Early detection is important.
Eye Exams
Eye exams are not just for checking your vision. Age and health are major risk factors for potential eye problems.
Routine eye exams can help detect vision loss, glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and more.
Sexual Health
“…a state of physical, emotional, mental and social well-being in relation to sexuality; it is not merely the absence of disease, dysfunction or infirmity. Sexual health requires a positive and respectful approach to sexuality and sexual relationships and the possibility of having pleasurable and safe sexual experiences free of coercion, discrimination, and violence.
For sexual health to be attained and maintained, the sexual rights of all persons must be respected, protected, and fulfilled.” (WHO, 2006a)
Embarrassment should not keep you from talking with your primary care doctor about any concerns regarding your sexual health. Sexual health is a crucial part of your overall health.
Dental Visit
At a routine dental visit, the dentist will check for cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer and the dental hygienist will clean your teeth.
Conditions and diseases that your dentist can diagnose:
Oral Cancer
Periodontal Disease
Tooth Decay (Cavities)
Tooth Abscess
TMJ Pain
Routine dental visits can help detect changes in your overall health too. Your gums, teeth, and oral tissues can be one of the first areas where signs or symptoms of systemic diseases can occur, including auto-immune disorders, diabetes, heart disease, and more.
