Importance of Regular Health Checkups

Prevention is better than cure. Regular health checkups can detect problems early when they are most treatable, yet many Bangladeshis only visit doctors when they are already sick. Recommended checkups for adults: - Blood pressure: At least once a year - Blood sugar: Annually after age 35 - Cholesterol: Every 5 years, or more often if at risk - Eye exam: Every 2 years - Dental checkup: Every 6 months - Cancer screening: As recommended by your doctor For women: Regular breast exams and cervical screening. For men: Prostate screening after age 50. Many hospitals in Bangladesh now offer affordable health checkup packages. Investing in preventive care saves money and lives in the long run.
