When do you think is the right time to visit your doctor?

Hi there jaiho, Speaking of regular check up, I will be going to the doctor today. we will enroll our baby to a pediatrician.She's well but I just want her to be checked monthly, specially this time that she is very small. :) She just turned 3 weeks. Happy sembreak!

Respected, At the time when I feel some physical problem and do not any other option than a treatment I shall go to a doctor for checks up and remidial advice etc.

Jane beti I agree with your statement, "A disease known is half cured", once you know the disease you must visit the doctor if it is of any serious nature, here it is getting difficult to get appointment from a doctor; fees are high, they suck your blood indirectly

I agree with you. Bit most people rarely visit a doctor unless that they started noticing something different from them,. Unfortunately, what causes people not to visit a doctor is because of avoiding the cost incurred to them with the doctor's fee. And you know how hard it is nowadays, that a person who works uses more than half of their salary for food alone.

Well, I believe that health is a very important thing in our lives. Every symptom of sickness, should never be underestimated! I speak at first hand. I am a person psychologically ill, so to me was recognized a mental disability of 75%. For this reason I take medication and I have regular visits with my doctor. However, from the physical side however I can not complain. However, you have reached a crucial point in your discussion, or, if only briefly, we shall at least once a year (in my opinion) do a check-up, or a general medical check. Health is a precious thing, we must always take care of it!

I just used to have regular checkup on my health. I don't wait for any symptoms get awared of myself that I am a patient of a particular diseases. Having regular check up helps us to know the needs of our body and to know about the disease in us. Taking medicines in the early stages helps us to free them quite easily.

I know you are right. However, it is so crowded in the hospital here. So if it is not necessary, I will not go to see a doctor. When I feel sick, then perhaps I will go to the hospital. Otherwise I even just go to the pharmacy to buy the medicines for myself. Our company provides a body check for us every year. So if there is something wrong with us, we can also learn it in a short time.

I only go if I think it's absolutely necessary. I have always been generally healthy and I take care of myself. I'm not one to 'invite trouble' so I'd rather not go get tests and have check ups all the time because if you know something 'could' be wrong with you, then all you do is stress out and worry about it. Also, the cost is a concern since most insurances have changed to deductibles, which are all way too high for a typically healthy person to EVER spend down within a year, meaning that you pay a monthly premium for 'health insurance' but the insurance never pays anything because you have to pay the entire deductible out of pocket before the insurance kicks in. I never ever meet my deductible, it's like $1200 per person per year and there are three of us. We are basically throwing money down the drain to have coverage that never pays a cent since none of us ever get sick.

There are some tests that can show early symptoms of some illness and theny can be treated at early stages. Among them are blood sugar for diabetes, blood pressure and cholesterol levels. But there are other sneaky illness that don`t show any symptoms at all until it`s too late.

I think we can have check ups for some illness, but not for others unfortunatly. But we can check cholesterol, pressure, blood sugar and the like. That narrows the kind of untreated common illness we can be aware of.

Current events have made me more aware of my body so I am taking better care of myself.. When I need to get to a doctor I will go.. I moved so I still have to set up a next team of doctors.. I have beeen prolonging it.. Just not ready to face them yet.. With each new set of doctors a new set of problems and new obstalces that I have to go through just to get the help that I need.. Chronic pain and some other phyiscal problems that make it difficult..

I don't really visit a doctor that often. I am one of those people that wait for myself to become ill or injured to visit a doctor's office. Yes, now I know it would be best to visit a doctor regularly when I beome old so that I can save time and possibly money for any kind of future problems which may arise. I think you need to have regularly visits to a doctor when you are over 40 or 50, I don't know for sure.

I think the earlier, the better. At the early onset of symptoms, people tend to self-medicate and then go to the doctor when things get worse. Maybe a good thing to do is to go to the doctor immediately when something is wrong. Best thing is to have a regular check up, like an annual check to see if things are still okay.

I am paying for my and my families healthcard monthly so I told them that whenever they feel something unusual, visit the doctor. It is also nice because we have this annual physical examination. In a way, it can help detect and treat diseases at early stage.

I do visit my doctor from time to time or when he tells me that I have to have some tests. Every year I have one time test to secure my health. Of course, I never forget to get my yearly vaccines too. For me, health is part of our investment in life. we work, take care our family, and we have to secure our health to secure the future of our loved ones.

My mom is a nurse. So, me and my siblings grew up under the impression that our mom will observe our condition first and nurse us until the day that she think that she can't handle it anymore, and that's when get to go to the doctor for a check up. And now, I'm old enough to be under my moms roof do the same thing with my kids. Although I don't pretend to know medical issues and stuff. If it's just a fever or colds, I give them medicine and observe them carefully, so that if under 3 days their fever didn't go down or their cold worsen, I make sure to let the doctor see them. If for example a disease is a something dangerous or life threatening, for course I would consult immediately to the doctor for check up. ^__^

hi jai, I don't visit the doctor as much as possible unless he is kind and cute Or if I really need to see one miss yah

Right. A regular check-up is best, because sometimes a disease thrives on the fact that you worry about it ... sometimes it'll just go away if you ignore it. But your doctor knows if it's serious.

I don't see my doctor until i get sick. I know it's best to see a doctor once in awhile. But i don't know why i don't feel comfortable with their presence.

Sad to say but most people do not really have a regular check-up with doctors because in our country for example, healthcare isn't readily available to everyone, especially those who are considered indigent. Or even those who are mid-income earners. They do have a budget for medicals and stuff but only when the disease is already there. In my case, I used to be so lazy, plus the system of getting an appointment and waiting and looking for a doctor is such a big mess. Sometimes, even if you are just there for a simple consultation, you will end up getting sick waiting for hours in a doctor's office with other sick patients.
