Why come in for a yearly physical exam?

A yearly screening test is a fantastic way to find a disease early. Catching them early will make treatment immensely easier. You should discuss the right tests for you with a provider or physician. You can have several different types of screenings. These include:

Body Mass Index

Also, known as BMI, your Body Mass Index will measure the percentage of body fat that you have based on your height and weight. It is used to check obesity.

Cholesterol

Heart disease is more common when you have high blood cholesterol, which is why you should ensure that your cholesterol levels are checked if you are over 35.

Blood Pressure

If you have high blood pressure, you may be more at risk for kidney disease and stroke. This is why blood pressure is an important part of any yearly physical exam.

Cancers

Once you reach 50 it is important that you are checked for signs of a variety of different cancers. This includes colorectal cancer, prostate, lung, oral and skin.

Sexually Transmitted Diseases

There are a number of common STD tests that are offered within a yearly physical exam. This includes Gonorrhea, Syphilis and Chlamydia.

HIV

It is recommended that you have HIV testing if you fit within the following categories:

• Have sex with men

• Have ever injected drugs
• Have ever paid for sex
• Have had partners in the past who are infected with HIV
• Are being treated for other STD’s
• Had a blood transfusion between 1978 and 1985

Depression

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm

If you have smoked more than 100 cigarettes in your lifetime and are between 65 and 75 years old, you must be checked out for an abdominal aortic aneurysm. These are large or swollen blood vessels that can burst within your stomach without any warning.
