There are a number of diseases that quietly develop and worsen even without more noticeable symptoms. By the time they are discovered, it is often too late, or they are revealed at a stage when treatment is truly complicated and may have permanent consequences. In the article you will therefore find an overview of 7 dangerous diseases for which it is worth undergoing preventive check-ups.
High blood pressure
It is not a disease in itself, but the problem with high blood pressure is that it is almost impossible to detect without measurement. For that reason it is important to visit the doctor from time to time and have your blood pressure checked. Too high blood pressure can, in the long term, cause a whole range of serious problems.
Diabetes
Many people who have diabetes do not even know it. They often find out about it through an incidental blood test. However, with regular monitoring the problem can be detected in time and, in the case of type 2 diabetes, supportive treatment can be started with an appropriate diet and the right medication.
Skin cancer
Subtle changes in moles or the formation of initially not very large new skin growths. Skin cancer is insidious because it occurs relatively frequently and also has an inconspicuous onset. If you do not have your moles checked regularly, it can develop unnoticed for several years.
Cervical cancer
Women are at risk of developing cervical cancer. If this happens, it again takes a very long time before any more noticeable warning signs appear. And when they do, it may be too late for effective treatment. That is the main reason why it should be necessary to have regular gynecological check-ups at least once a year. Only in that case is it possible to detect an ongoing disease in time.
