Medical Check-Up Malaysia

Be proactive, get your health screened at Pantai Hospitals nationwide.

Most people tend to only seek medical attention when they are sick or do not feel well due to various symptoms that they may experience, such as having a fever or having aches in certain regions of the body.

However, waiting for the symptoms to show means compromising on health. This is because a disease can have damaging effects on the body even before it shows up the first signs and symptoms.

Pantai Hospitals offer a range of health screening packages, including a full body checkup or full medical checkup, for early detection of common disorders such as high blood pressure, diabetes mellitus, cancer, and heart disease. The chances of getting these silent killer diseases can be reduced by leading a healthy lifestyle through regular exercise and proper diet. Annual screening is beneficial and recommended for those aged 35 years and above.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on Health Screening Services

1. What is health screening?

Health screenings are important because they help determine if you have a particular disease or medical condition. At times, there are no visible symptoms of the disease yet. For example, diabetes takes time to develop and is likely to start out without the affected individual showing any signs.

It is also important to timely detect the start of serious diseases. Take, for example, diseases like cancer.

Early detection is critical to prevent the cancerous tissues from spreading from one area to the rest of the body. With an early diagnosis, doctors can start early treatment with a higher rate of recovery.

Regular health screenings can help early diagnosis, and early detection can lessen complications, improve long-term outcomes, and save lives. By taking charge of your health, the early detection of diseases resulting from a health screen would mean early medical intervention. It will also help you identify and manage your health risk profile.

Besides that, health screenings can remind individuals of the crucial lifestyle changes they would need to make to ensure that they maintain optimal health.

When people go through a health screening, they are able to discover what they can do to prevent the development of certain conditions in their bodies. This includes consuming a healthier and well-balanced diet, maintaining an exercise routine, managing stress levels, etc.

These doctor-recommended lifestyle changes can benefit individuals and their health, especially in the long-term since they can reduce the chances of developing certain diseases.
