Why Annual Health Check-ups Are Essential (Even If You Feel Fine)

Dr. Balamurugan Karuppan

Internal Medicine Specialist · Iswarya Hospital

Most lifestyle diseases develop silently over years. Annual health screenings catch problems early — when they are far easier and less expensive to treat.

Many serious conditions — diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, thyroid disorders, even cancer — have no obvious symptoms in early stages. Annual check-ups catch them before they become serious.

What a Comprehensive Health Check Includes

Complete Blood Count (CBC)

Blood glucose (fasting and HbA1c)

Lipid profile (cholesterol)

Kidney function tests

Liver function tests

Thyroid function (TSH)

Urine routine examination

ECG

Chest X-ray

Body Mass Index (BMI) and blood pressure

Age-specific cancer screenings (mammography, Pap smear, PSA)

Who Should Get Checked Annually?

Everyone above 30 years. Those with risk factors (family history, obesity, smoking, diabetes, hypertension) should start earlier.
