These preventive steps are crucial as they can detect potential health problems early, allowing for timely treatment and better management.

What to Expect During a Health Screening

In a health screening, you will undergo several tests and processes to check your overall health. The aim of these tests is to catch any health issues early and ensure you receive the right treatment promptly.

Blood Tests

Blood tests are vital as they provide information on various health markers. They can measure blood sugar levels, cholesterol, and other factors to assess your risk for diseases like diabetes and cardiovascular conditions. A small blood sample is taken from your arm with a needle. You might be asked to fast beforehand to ensure accurate results, especially for blood sugar and cholesterol tests.

Urine Analysis

Urine analysis offers a non-invasive way to monitor your health and helps detect diseases like urinary tract infections, diabetes, and kidney conditions. You will need to give a urine sample, often first thing in the morning, for most accurate results. The sample is then checked for sugar, protein, and other substances that might indicate health issues.

Liver, Kidney, and Thyroid Function Tests

Tests for liver, kidney, and thyroid function help check the performance of these vital organs. They can detect conditions like liver diseases, kidney failure, and thyroid imbalances. A blood sample is taken for these tests and abnormal results may necessitate further testing or targeted treatments.

Physical Examination

physical examination is a comprehensive assessment done by a doctor to assess your general health. This includes measuring your weight and height, checking your heartbeat, and examining your skin.

The doctor will also discuss your medical history and lifestyle habits to identify any risk factors for diseases. This personalised discussion helps in planning the appropriate screenings and preventive measures tailored to your needs.

Stool Analysis

Stool analysis is a diagnostic test that examines your stool for infections, digestion issues, and certain types of cancer like colorectal cancer. You will need to provide a stool sample, which will be tested for blood, bacteria, and other abnormalities.

This type of test is important for detecting issues that may not show up in blood tests or physical exams, providing a more complete picture of your digestive health.

ECG (Electrocardiogram)

An ECG (electrocardiogram) measures the electrical activity of your heart to detect heart diseases or irregularities. It is a non-invasive test where electrodes are placed on your chest, arms, and legs.

The ECG can reveal conditions like arrhythmias and heart attacks, helping your doctor plan the right treatment or further testing.

Chest X-Ray

chest X-ray is used to check for lung conditions like infections, chronic diseases, or cancers. It involves taking a quick image of your lungs and chest area.

You will be asked to stand in front of an X-ray machine, and the whole process takes just a few minutes. The resulting image allows doctors to see any abnormalities in your lungs and chest.

BMI and Obesity Screening

BMI (Body Mass Index) and obesity screening involves calculating your BMI based on your weight and height. A high BMI may signal obesity, which increases the risk of conditions like diabetes and heart disease. Your doctor will use this information to recommend lifestyle and dietary changes to improve your health.

Blood Pressure Check

Blood pressure checks are essential for identifying hypertension, which can lead to heart disease and stroke if untreated.

A cuff around your arm measures the pressure, often requiring multiple readings for accuracy.

Cholesterol Levels

Testing cholesterol levels is crucial for evaluating your risk of cardiovascular diseases. High cholesterol can lead to blocked arteries, increasing the risk of heart attacks.

A blood sample measures LDL (bad) cholesterol, HDL (good) cholesterol, and triglycerides (a type of fat in the blood). Based on your results, your doctor will provide tailored dietary and lifestyle recommendations.

Diabetes Screening

Diabetes screening involves testing blood sugar levels to detect diabetes or pre-diabetes.

Fasting blood sugar tests are common for more accurate results. Detecting high blood sugar levels early helps prevent complications and manage the condition effectively.

Bone Density Scan

bone density scan checks bone strength and detects osteoporosis, a condition that weakens bones and makes them prone to fractures. 

This non-invasive test involves lying on a table while a scanner passes over your body, helping guide treatments to strengthen your bones.

Vision and Hearing Tests

Vision and hearing tests are vital for detecting issues that affect your daily life.

Eye exams screen for conditions such as glaucoma (nerve damage), cataracts (cloudiness in the lens), and macular degeneration (blurring of central vision). Hearing tests, on the other hand, evaluate your ability to perceive different pitches and volumes, helping to identify any hearing loss.

Skin Examination

skin examination checks for skin cancers and other conditions. The doctor will examine your skin for unusual moles or growths that might indicate cancer.

Regular skin checks can help in the early detection and treatment of skin cancers, improving outcomes and reducing risks.

Types of Health Screenings

Health screening is a preventive measure that helps detect potential health issues early on. In Singapore, various types of screenings cater to different age groups and health concerns.

Health Screening

health screening involves basic tests such as, blood pressure measurement, cholesterol levels, and blood sugar levels to assess your overall health. These screenings are recommended for adults aged 18 and above and are usually conducted annually. They are crucial for the early detection of common conditions like hypertension and diabetes. Sign up for our Sapphire Package today and get all the basic tests necessary for your overall health!

Comprehensive Health Screening

A comprehensive health screening offers more than just the basics, incorporating extensive blood tests, ECGs, and chest X-rays to provide a thorough assessment of your health. This detailed approach can help identify potential issues early, making it crucial for middle-aged individuals with medical histories or risk factors. Prioritise your well-being with this proactive measure to safeguard your health.

Women's Health Screening

Women’s health screening focuses on conditions affecting women, with key tests including mammograms for breast cancer, Pap smears, and bone density tests. Essential for early detection of diseases like breast cancer and osteoporosis, especially for women 40 and older.

Mammogram

A mammogram is a low-dose X-ray that detects early signs of breast cancer before symptoms appear. Healthcare providers use it to identify abnormalities when new symptoms arise, such as lumps, pain, or changes in the breast. Early detection through mammography is crucial for effective treatment and better outcomes.

HPV Test

An HPV test detects high-risk types of the virus that can lead to cervical cancer. It can be used alone for cervical cancer screening or alongside a Pap test for comprehensive evaluation.

Pap Smear

A Pap smear is a crucial screening for cervical cancer, detecting precancerous or cancerous cells on the cervix. The procedure involves gently scraping cells from the cervix for examination of any abnormalities.

Men's Health Screening

This targets male-specific health concerns through prostate health examination, cardiovascular tests, and testosterone level tests. Crucial for men aged 40 and older, these screenings help detect early signs of heart disease, prostate problems, and other male specific conditions.

Prostate Cancer Screening

Prostate cancer screening refers to the tests and exams used to detect prostate cancer in men before symptoms appear. The primary methods include the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test, which assesses PSA levels, and a digital rectal exam (DRE).

Executive Health Screening

Designed for busy professionals, these comprehensive packages include detailed blood tests, ECGs (electrocardiogram), and imaging like ultrasounds and X-rays. Ideal for those 40 and older, they offer a thorough health assessment, helping you stay informed and proactively manage your well-being.

Elite Health Screening

The Elite package delivers a thorough health screening to provide crucial insights into your well-being. It features a comprehensive physical assessment, detailed blood tests for cancer markers and hormones, as well as stool occult blood analysis, plus a vital pap smear for women.

Cancer Screening

Crucial for early detection, recommended screenings include mammograms for breast cancer, Pap smears for cervical cancer, and colonoscopy for colorectal cancer. Essential for those 50 and older or with a family history of cancer.

TD Screening

Sexually transmitted disease (STD) screening is vital for sexually active individuals. It includes tests for a variety of STDs like HIV (Human immunodeficiency virus), syphilis, and gonorrhoea. Regular screening is recommended to ensure early detection and treatment, helping to prevent the spread of infections and safeguard your health.

HIV Screening

An HIV test analyses a blood sample to determine if you are infected with HIV (human immunodeficiency virus), which damages specific cells in your immune system. This test can be performed routinely or following a potential exposure to the virus.

Pre-Marital Screening

Recommended for couples planning to marry, this screening includes genetic tests, blood group compatibility, and checks for infectious diseases. It helps identify potential health issues that could impact future children, offering peace of mind as you plan your family.

Health Screening for Seniors

These vital assessments are key to not just extending life, but enhancing its quality, ensuring a healthier and more fulfilling existence. Tailored to meet the unique health needs of older adults, these comprehensive screenings address age-related concerns, manage chronic conditions, and optimise medication use, empowering seniors to thrive in their later years.

Eye Screening

Eye screening is vital for preserving vision and spotting eye diseases, eye screenings test for conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration. Regular exams are recommended, especially for those 40 and older, to detect early signs and prevent vision loss.

Heart Health Screening

Heart health screenings are critical for identifying any cardiovascular diseases before they worsen. To determine the condition of your heart, we do a complete heart health test that includes cholesterol levels, blood pressure, electrocardiograms (ECG), and other essential diagnostics. Regular screenings can help uncover risk factors like heart disease or stroke early on, allowing for prompt therapies and lifestyle changes to keep the heart healthy.

Diabetes Health Screening

Diabetes health tests are critical for the early detection and management of diabetes. Our screening approach assesses your blood sugar levels, HbA1c levels, and insulin function to provide an accurate picture of your metabolic health. Whether you are at risk for diabetes or are actively managing it, our screenings help you develop effective monitoring and management techniques to keep your blood sugar under control and avoid problems.

Kidney Health Screening

Kidney health screenings aid in detecting renal function issues that may otherwise go unreported until they become significant. Our kidney health examination covers creatinine levels, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and urine analysis to determine your kidneys' filtering capacities. Early detection through regular screening can lead to improved outcomes since it addresses possible problems before they worsen.

Mobile Health Screening

Mobile health screening services bring essential health tests directly to your doorstep, providing convenience without compromising quality. Tailored to meet the needs of busy individuals, families, or corporate groups, they include a range of screenings such as blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar levels, and more.

Am I a Good Candidate for Health Screenings?

Health screenings are essential for detecting diseases early. You may wonder if these screenings are suitable for you.

Some key factors to consider when thinking about getting screened are:

Age: Different screenings are recommended at various life stages. For example, younger adults may benefit from cholesterol and blood pressure checks, while older adults might need more comprehensive screenings like colonoscopies.

Family History: If certain illnesses run in your family, such as heart disease, diabetes, or cancer, you may be at a higher risk.

Gender: Men and women have distinct health risks, resulting in unique screenings for each gender.

Lifestyle Choices: Your habits, such as smoking, diet, and exercise, significantly impact your health.

Existing Health Conditions: If you already have ongoing health issues, specific screenings are crucial.

Recommended Screenings by Age Group
Age Group Recommended Screenings
Young Adults Blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes
Middle-Aged Adults Cardiovascular diseases, cancers (breast, cervical, colorectal)
Senior Citizens Bone density scan, cataract screening, same as above
Eligibility Criteria:

Cardiovascular Disease Screening: Recommended for individuals age 40 and older, or younger if you have risk factors. This screening helps identify potential heart and vascular issues early.

Cancer Screening: Timing varies by cancer type. For example, colorectal cancer screening is generally recommended starting at age 50.

Why Health Screenings Matter

Health screenings are crucial for everyone. Prevention begins with detecting potential issues before they become serious.

Imagine being in your 60s or 70s, regretting not taking preventive measures while dealing with multiple diseases. That’s avoidable through regular health checks.

Taking action now can save you from significant health problems later on. Prevention is better than cure.

Your health matters to us more than everything, so don’t wait until it’s too late. Book your consultation with Nuffield Medical. For your convenience, we also offer video consultation.

Health Screening Procedure

Health screening involves several key steps to ensure a thorough and comfortable experience.

These include preparation before the screening, the procedure itself, and follow-up actions after the screening.

Here is a detailed guide to each stage.

Before the Procedure

Your path to accurate health screening starts with proper preparation before the screening. Fast for 8-12 hours if blood tests are included and avoid certain medications if advised. Bring relevant medical records and a list of current medications. Ensure you’re registered for your appointment to streamline your visit. Women should skip deodorant or powders before a mammogram, as these can affect the results.

During the Procedure

During the procedure, expect physical exams, blood and urine tests, and imaging studies. Nuffield Medical employs screenings that may include cardiovascular, diabetes, and cancer tests such as mammograms or colonoscopies. These tests aim for early detection, and our professionals will guide you through each step. The process typically takes a few minutes to an hour, depending on the tests.

After the Procedure

After your tests, you’ll receive a detailed report. A follow-up consultation with your doctor may be needed to discuss results and any further steps. If necessary, you might be referred to a specialist. Keep your records and track future screening dates to stay proactive. Your healthcare provider will advise you on timing for subsequent screenings based on your initial results.

Health Risks by Generation

  GEN Z Millennials GEN X Baby Boomers Silent Generation
Age Range 18 – 25 26 – 40 41 – 56 57 – 75 76 – 93
Health Risk Factors Cervical cancer High cholesterol Melanoma Mental health Testicular cancer Cervical cancer High cholesterol Reproductive difficulties Skin changes Stress Weight gain Breast cancer Colon cancer Heart disease High blood pressure High cholesterol Breast cancer Colon cancer Heart disease High blood pressure High cholesterol Osteoporosis Prostate cancer Stroke Arthritis Breast cancer Diabetes Heart failure High blood pressure Osteoporosis Prostate cancer

There are many health conditions that become more common as we age and others that can arise at any stage of life due to genetic factors. This is why it is essential to discuss your family history with your provider - knowing if you have any genetic predispositions to certain diseases will help them tailor the types and frequency of screenings that are recommended for you.

Health Screening Complications

Some people are hesitant to undergo health screenings because of radiation's recognised ability to cause cancer. However, the chances of getting cancer from a CT scan are quite low - the likelihood of developing a fatal cancer from a single CT scan is approximately 1 in 2,000, or 0.0005%. 

For many individuals, a health screening’s advantages outweigh the minor danger of radiation exposure. It allows doctors to discover serious health conditions and assess the efficacy of therapies. Before prescribing a scan, your doctor will make sure that the benefits outweigh the dangers.

At the heart of our approach in Nuffield Medical is a commitment to enhancing your health from the inside out, utilising advanced yet gentle screening technologies. Book a consultation with us today and find out what’s best for you!
