Screenings include examinations and tests that your doctor or nurse practitioner may use to check for any signs or symptoms. This could include lab tests (swabs, blood, urine) to help find problems early on when they may be easier to treat or to check on how you are doing with a condition you already have.
Health professionals commonly screen for conditions such as:
- High blood pressure
- High cholesterol or triglycerides
- Breast cancer
- Cervical cancer
- Colorectal cancer
- Diabetes
- Obesity
- Osteoporosis
- Prostate cancer
- Heart disease
- Artery disease
- Certain other cancers
If you are at high risk for a health condition, health screenings can help you take proactive steps with your provider to prevent chronic illnesses. Therefore, getting health screenings is one of the most important things you can do for your health.
