“Positive medical findings” and “seeing a doctor”

  With the increase in health care awareness, medical checkups are becoming increasingly popular. In the face of various super indicators on the conclusion of the physical examination report, the examiner is often torn over whether to “see a doctor”. Here are my views: 1, the normal value of the physical examination indicators is only a probability range, more than the normal value is indicative of the probability of occurrence of a disease (not the same as the disease has occurred), due to the improvement of safety indicators and the inability to subdivide the normal value of different age groups, the current normal value of indicators on the strict side. In my personal opinion, if the test result is better than the average value for the same age, you should not be overly worried (in short, it is not a disease, such as mild degeneration of the cervical and lumbar spine without clinical manifestations).  2, if there is indeed a disease, in addition to the abnormal physical examination indicators, there are usually clinical symptoms, signs and positive findings of imaging examinations, if there are no such positive findings, but simply abnormal blood test indicators, it should be repeated several times, except for examination errors.  3. If the physical examination indicators are abnormal and there is evidence of clinical manifestations and laboratory tests corresponding to them (such as neck discomfort caused by mild degeneration of the cervical spine, fatty liver caused by obesity, decreased physical fitness), one should first try to see if one can pass conservative, traditional, non-Western medical treatments (diet, weight loss, physical therapy, exercise, qigong, etc.), and if the above indicators and clinical manifestations can be improved, there is no need to enter the Western medical (surgery, drugs, radiotherapy If the above indicators and clinical manifestations can be improved, it is not necessary to enter the Western medical (surgery, drugs, radiotherapy, etc.) process.  4, if the physical examination indicators, imaging, clinical symptoms and signs are confirmed to be a disease, and through a certain period of conditioning and conservative treatment without clear improvement or even progress, before entering the treatment process, should rationally assess the existing medical technology, the patient can benefit, such as obvious benefits before entering the treatment process, such as not clear benefits, should be realistic to face the fate of the arrangement.  5.Many people believe in “early diagnosis” and hope to get “early treatment”. If you are ready to take this high risk, you can enter the treatment process. It is important to emphasize that “early detection” is not the same as “early diagnosis” and does not necessarily require “early treatment”; “early detection “To obtain an “early diagnosis” of a lesion, a more detailed examination is needed.
