Benefits: Our hospital's health check-up services, including general physical examinations, free adult and senior citizen check-ups, on-site company check-ups, and occupational disease clinics, offer several advantages.
Health Check-up allow individuals to assess their health status, detect chronic diseases, and receive lifestyle recommendations. These recommendations cover areas such as maintaining a balanced diet, adjusting daily habits, engaging in regular exercise, promoting a positive mindset, and addressing harmful behaviors like smoking, betel nut chewing, or excessive alcohol consumption.


Benefits of undergoing a colonoscopy, as an example of this procedure:

  1. Diagnostic biopsy: It allows for the confirmation of the nature of lesions or abnormalities.
  2. Polyp removal or mucosal resection: Larger polyps or mucosal lesions can be removed using endoscopic techniques, serving both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.
  3. Hemostasis: In case of bleeding, various methods such as local injection, electrocautery, argon plasma coagulation, or hemostatic clips can be employed to achieve hemostasis.
  4. Lesion marking: With the assistance of endoscopy, marker dye can be injected near gastrointestinal lesions to facilitate future monitoring or surgical localization. Possible complications include infection and abdominal pain, occurring at a rate of approximately 0.2%-0.4%.
  5. Success rate of the procedure: With few exceptions such as patient intolerance, anatomical abnormalities, incomplete preparation, or significant intraoperative changes in vital signs, the success rate is nearly 100%. If the procedure cannot be completed, alternative diagnostic measures should be considered.
Risks of the procedure:
Generally, colonoscopy is considered a safe examination, but a small number of patients may experience symptoms such as bloating, abdominal pain, bleeding, or perforation. However, the probability of these complications is less than one percent.

Health checkup Instructions:
  1. Before the examination: Follow the instructions given by the physician regarding bowel preparation and medication usage.
  2. During the examination: Follow the instructions of the nursing staff. The medication may be administered to slow down intestinal movement and facilitate the examination. Some patients may experience temporary discomfort such as dry mouth or blurred vision. Patients with glaucoma or enlarged prostate may experience increased eye pressure or difficulty urinating.
  3. After the examination:
  1. If you experience bloating or discomfort, it is advised to engage in physical activity to promote flatus passage. Follow the doctor's instructions regarding resuming eating after the examination. If any treatments such as biopsy, polyp removal, or hemostasis were performed, follow the prescribed diet.
If any procedures such as biopsy or polyp removal were performed, a follow-up visit may be required to review the results. Minimal bleeding may occur, so continue to monitor the situation. If bleeding persists, abdominal pain intensifies, black stools occur, or fever develops, seek prompt medical attention.
