What is a general health check?
General health examination is a comprehensive examination and
assessment of the health status of the body, with a full range of essential
categories.
Through the examination results, the doctor will give appropriate advice to
help you proactively adjust your living habits to limit the risk of future
diseases. Besides, the general health examination also helps you to detect the
abnormal signs of the body early, thereby having timely treatment.
Depending on the purpose of designation, gender, age, each medical facility
will develop different general health checkup packages.
A general health examination helps you detect abnormal signs of the body
early
Why do you need a general health check?
Here are two reasons why you should have an annual check-up:
Firstly: Each age group has its own risk of carrying its own disease
Groups.
For example: Children and adolescents often have congenital
neoplasms such as tumors of the nervous system, kidney tumors,
and tumors of the skeletal system. Or congenital malformations
such as reverse organ with only 1 kidney, malformation of the
urinary tract - urinary system.
Children also carry their own diseases and are very prone to blood diseases.
Young people are often prone to stomach diseases, testicular cancer, breast cancer, thyroid
cancer, etc.
Middle-aged and elderly people often suffer from high blood pressure, diabetes or cancer
diseases, etc.
Each of us, at any age, is at risk for certain groups of diseases. Therefore, anyone of any
age should have regular check-ups.
Anyone of any age should have regular check-ups
Secondly: Many diseases have a silent progression, without showing any
symptoms in the early stages, until the patient feels pain or discomfort, the
disease is already in a serious stage. This makes treatment both costly and
time-consuming, and can even affect the patient's life.
For example, if a patient has a stone in the ureter, if not detected and treated
promptly when the stone size is not large, it will cause dilatation of the renal
pelvis, affecting kidney function. Until the patient showed symptoms: low back
pain, blood in the urine, difficulty urinating, etc., he went to the doctor, the
kidney cells were damaged irreversibly, making it difficult to treat.
For the treatment of the disease, the stage is the most important factor, the
earlier the disease is detected, the better the prognosis and favorable for the
treatment process. Therefore, regular and general health check-ups are
extremely necessary to protect the health and life of yourself and your loved
ones.
Who should get a general health check?
A physical exam is something everyone should do, even healthy people.
Because many dangerous diseases progress silently, without obvious
symptoms, patients mistakenly think that the body is still healthy. Delayed
disease detection will cause patients to miss the "golden time" for effective
treatment.
Therefore, medical experts recommend that everyone should have a
general health check-up every 6 months or at least once a year.
According to the Law on Occupational Safety and Health, employees working
in agencies, enterprises, production facilities, etc. must have a general health
check-up at least once a year. For people who work in hazardous, dangerous
and hard-working environments, they will need a general examination at least
every 6 months and possibly more in-depth examination.
What does a general health check include?
According to Circular 14/2013/TT-BYT of the Ministry of Health on Guidelines
for medical examination, the list of mandatory periodic health check-ups will
include:
Clinical examination
Before being examined by a specialist, the health examiner will have a clinical
examination and physical examination, including the following categories:
measurement of height, weight, calculation of BMI, pulse test, blood pressure
measurement, etc. The doctor will perform a general examination to assess
the status of important organs such as: respiratory, cardiovascular, nervous,
kidney - urinary, digestive, musculoskeletal...
After the clinical examination, the health examiner will be examined by
specific specialties, including:
Eye exam
The general health examiner will have a vision test to assess the ability to
see in both eyes.
The general health examiner will have a vision test to assess the ability to see
in both eyes
Ear, nose and throat examination
The diseases of the ear, nose and throat are not too dangerous, but if not
treated completely, they will often recur. During the general physical
examination, the examiner will be assessed the function of the ear, nose and
throat, if there are abnormalities, the doctor will advise the appropriate
treatment method.
Dental visit
Dental examination helps to detect early diseases such as bad breath, tooth
decay, periodontal disease, tartar, etc. The doctor will also advise the
examiner on how to take care of and maintain scientific oral hygiene.
Dermatological examination

dermatitis, skin infections caused by viruses, fungi, bacteria …
Gynecological examination

diseases such as genital infections, breast cancer, cervical cancer, etc. Men
will be examined by a male doctor to check reproductive health.
Test
To evaluate the indicators in the body, the health examiner will have blood and
urine tests:
Routine blood tests include: complete blood count and biochemical tests. A
blood count test is used to determine the amount and ratio of components in
the blood, helping to assess anemia , infection, blood clotting, etc.
Biochemical tests help determine important parameters such as blood sugar,
urea. , creatinine, liver enzymes AST, ALT... The results of these indicators
help evaluate liver and kidney function, diagnose diabetes...
Urinalysis: Urine parameters help determine urinary tract infections, kidney
diseases, etc.
Blood tests are a mandatory list of general health check-ups according to
regulations of the Ministry of Health
Image analysation
The general examination will be performed:
Chest X-ray is used to detect lung damage and problems related to the heart
and chest.
The above is a list of mandatory periodic health check-ups according to the
regulations of the Ministry of Health, however, depending on age and risk
factors, health examiners can choose in-depth health check-up packages,
perform add other categories for more thorough health assessment such as
CT scan, MRI, gastrointestinal endoscopy, abdominal ultrasound, thyroid
ultrasound…
How much does a general health check cost?
How much does a general health check cost is a question of many people
who are in need of an overall health check. In fact, the price of a general
health checkup depends on the package you choose. With examination
packages that require in-depth examination and testing procedures, they often
cost more.
However, different medical examination and treatment facilities will have
different general health examination costs. Choosing a medical facility with a
team of qualified doctors and modern equipment will help you feel secure
about the accuracy of your general examination results.
Currently, Hong Ngoc Hospital offers a variety of general health checkup
packages for customers to choose from to suit their needs and finances:
In addition, the hospital also has intensive health checkup packages , VIP
examination packages with nearly 40 examination categories to help screen
for more than 80 different diseases and cancer screening packages.
