Routine Medical Screenings Young Adults

Routine Medical Screenings Young Adults

Many of the diseases that appear in later years can be avoided if caught early. In young adulthood, you can safeguard your health by scheduling a periodic health exam about every 5 years. Your health care provider will physically examine you and order appropriate screening tests to promote early detection of the most common yet treatable diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. People aged 20 or older having periodic health exams, a cancer-related checkup should include health counseling, and depending on a person's age and gender, might include exams for cancers of the thyroid, oral cavity, skin, lymph nodes, testes, and ovaries, as well as for some non-malignant (non-cancerous) diseases. For more information visit this ACS site:

Your health care provider will use a “well visit” also as an opportunity to identify any risk factors you may have for common chronic diseases and to discuss what you can do to prevent illness and injury. Additional tests will be ordered based on risk factors A checkup at this age assures you are up to date with any new vaccines and required boosters and confirms that you have had all the appropriate childhood immunizations. Blood pressure, cholesterol levels, blood glucose, weight, height, and dental health should be checked as well. Attention also is given to accident and injury prevention as well as to health risks from sexual activity and high-risk behaviors such as smoking and substance abuse.
