You can get tested at any time. A budget option

A complete examination of the body is a whole complex that includes laboratory tests, examination by specialists (doctors of certain specialties) in a hospital or clinic, and a number of instrumental studies. After its completion, conclusions can be drawn about the presence of diseases in a person or conditions predisposing them. The main goal of a complete examination of the body is to identify chronic diseases and cancer pathology in the early stages for the purpose of timely treatment. The ideal is to identify not the disease itself, but the factors predisposing it, followed by correction of potential risks.

You can compile a list of the most appropriate studies, analyzes and consultations yourself using Internet search engines, however, there is a risk of incorrectly summing up the information received and missing something important.

It is more advisable to seek help from a specialist, for example, start by visiting a local therapist or family doctor. It will take a sufficient amount of time and financial resources to go through the entire list in a traditional clinic. You can undergo a comprehensive examination of the whole body in a hospital - it will take less time, but discomfort from hospital living conditions can negatively affect the mood of even an absolutely healthy person.

Modern medical centers often provide their clients with standard packages of services, which include a list of tests, studies and consultations in accordance with the age and gender of the patient. This is a very convenient option for people who value not only their health, but also their time. A complete examination of the body can be completed in just a few days and at a convenient time.

So-called medical tourism is gaining increasing popularity. The largest clinics in Israel and Europe offer residents of other countries a so-called checkup, that is, a set of medical services that includes everything. This is a complex for a complete examination of the body, which is carried out in comfortable conditions, by qualified specialists and using high-tech equipment.

The process of obtaining comprehensive information about your own health is combined with a pleasant holiday in a new country. At the client’s request, he can be accompanied by a guide-translator (a separate service of the company engaged in medical tourism) so that the language barrier does not become an obstacle to the examination and does not create additional discomfort.

What does a comprehensive examination include?

The list of a complete examination of the adult body, offered by domestic specialists, includes:

detailed blood and urine tests;
biochemical tests (blood sugar, liver function tests, blood amylase levels, creatinine and urea);
plain radiograph (not fluorogram) of the chest organs;
Ultrasound of the abdominal organs, and in women also of the pelvis and mammary glands;
electrocardiogram;
consultation with a urologist (gynecologist), ophthalmologist, otolaryngologist, neurologist;
specific blood tests for infections (syphilis, hepatitis C and B, HIV).

If any abnormalities or other doubts are identified, a more detailed study of the function of a particular organ or organ system will be required. If there is a hereditary predisposition to certain types of diseases in the family (for example, episodes of heart attack, hypertension, cancer of the female reproductive system), a comprehensive study of health status includes a more detailed study of this particular area. Exactly what details of the examination are needed is determined by the specific situation.

Checkup packages in foreign clinics

A complete examination of the client’s body, which is carried out in foreign clinics, includes a significantly larger number of instrumental studies. This allows us to largely eliminate the influence of the human factor - the doctor may make a mistake due to the lack of necessary experience in relation to a certain problem during the examination.

Obtaining objective results of instrumental studies, for example, lesions on a brain tomogram, involuntarily attracts attention and requires more detailed study.

The so-called standard package in Israeli clinics additionally includes (in addition to those stated above) the following points:

Special comprehensive examination packages

A complete examination in men and women implies certain differences. Designed especially for women:

blood test for cancer markers;
measuring bone density to assess the severity of osteoporosis;
Ultrasound of the mammary glands is being replaced by mammography;
a PAP test is performed to assess the extent of human papillomavirus infection;
video colposcopy to assess the condition of the vaginal and cervical mucosa.

A complete examination in men includes the following additional studies:

Ultrasound of the prostate gland and examination by a urologist;
transurethral ultrasound of the prostate gland;
oncological markers most typical for the male body, namely for possible damage to the prostate gland.

Check up program for children

Often there is a need for a comprehensive examination of the child’s entire body. Parents are interested not only in the presence of chronic pathology, but also in the facts of congenital developmental anomalies that require timely correction. Comprehensive information is required before entering a preschool or school, as well as before visiting a sports section or children's sports school.

A comprehensive child screening package includes all of the following.

Detailed examination by an experienced pediatrician using traditional methods for organ systems.
To assess the condition of a very young child, special tests and visual programs are used.
General clinical blood and urine tests.
Biochemical blood tests (selected individually, taking into account the characteristics of a particular patient).
An electrocardiogram and, if necessary, an echocardiogram (to assess the correct structure of the heart sac and heart valves).
X-ray examination of the chest organs, which can be replaced by tomography (magnetic resonance or positron emission).
Examination by an ENT doctor to identify pathologies of hearing and, accordingly, speech development.
Orthopedic examination - identifying pathologies of the joints and spine that require special treatment.
Examination of the whole body by a pediatric surgeon to detect hernias and other congenital anomalies.
Consultation with a dentist - to identify dental pathology with subsequent orthopedic correction.
In adolescent children during puberty, the hormonal profile is examined.

As a result of the information received, an individual plan for the development and prevention of diseases of a particular child is drawn up. If necessary, a genetic passport can be examined, which provides information about the most likely diseases for a particular child, his inclinations and characteristics.

In Moscow, several dozen health centers operate on the basis of city clinics. If the clinic you are assigned to has a health center, you can undergo a free preventive examination there. It can be done at any age, once a year, and the visit itself will take from 30 minutes to 1 hour.

3. What happens after the examination?

After the examinations have been completed, you will be referred to an appointment (examination) with a doctor at the health center. He will give recommendations, including on correcting identified risk factors - unhealthy diet, excess body weight, smoking, low physical activity.

Whole body MRI is the primary diagnosis of organs and tissues in order to identify and localize tumors, the presence of serious pathological changes in internal organs and tissues. MRI examination of the body is used when it is not possible to determine the cause of the disease, if a closed injury is diagnosed, as well as for certain indications. Whole body tomography (MRI) is performed using a screening technique in several planes. A child can undergo a complete examination of the entire body using MRI at any age. This type of diagnosis has practically no age restrictions, however, due to the need to remain immobile for a fairly long period of time, the study is carried out for young children under anesthesia or using sedatives.

Colorectal cancer test

In Russia, colorectal cancer (cancer of the colon and rectum) is in third place in terms of prevalence (in men - after lung and stomach cancer, and in women - after breast and skin cancer). The worst thing about it is the high mortality rate in the first year after the tumor is detected. In 60-70% of patients, cancer is diagnosed in an advanced form, when pain appears or bleeding occurs. Therefore, GMS Clinic came up with the idea of conducting independent testing: extremely loyal to the person, taking into account the eternal shyness in such a delicate issue. Colorectal cancer is preventable in 95% of cases if the polyp from which the tumor grows is detected in time. Until the end of February, GMS Clinic is holding a campaign to prevent colorectal cancer. Any visitor can take a free test box from the toilet to determine occult blood in stool. This is a reliable way to “catch” colon and rectal cancer at a stage when a person does not yet suspect that he is sick. The promotion will last until the end of February 2017.
