1. Physical Examination
A physical examination includes measurement of basic vital signs such as height, weight, blood pressure, and heart rate, as well as specialized examinations by internal medicine, surgery, ophthalmology, otolaryngology, and dentistry to provide a preliminary understanding of your general health.
2. Laboratory Tests
A complete blood count (CBC) assesses the white blood cell (WBC), red blood cell (RBC), and platelet counts, helping to identify anemia and infection. A urinalysis examines urine color, clarity, and pH, helping to identify urinary tract diseases. Liver and renal function tests assess liver and kidney function. Blood lipid and blood sugar tests assess blood sugar and lipid levels to screen for conditions such as diabetes and hyperlipidemia. A thyroid function test helps to identify conditions such as hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism.
3. Gynecological Examination
Gynecological ultrasound can examine the morphology and structure of reproductive organs, including the uterus and ovaries, to screen for lesions such as fibroids and cysts. Internal gynecological examinations can assess the condition of the vagina, cervix, uterus, and adnexa, checking for inflammation and tumors. A cervical smear or transcervical CT scan can screen for cervical precancerous lesions. An HPV test can detect infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV), which is closely associated with the development of cervical cancer.
4. Breast Examination
Breast ultrasound or mammography can help detect breast diseases such as breast hyperplasia, breast nodules, and breast cancer.
