One of the Healthy Living Habits is: “Regularly consult the appropriate health professionals for your condition, following their advice. Regular consultations make it possible to identify and treat disorders in their early stages, as well as receive advice on prevention and treatment. After all, even those who take care of themselves sometimes fall ill. It's also essential to follow the treatments exactly as the professionals have prescribed them, so that they have a greater chance of achieving the desired effects.”.
But which queries and exactly why (in detail)?
Regular consultations with:
✅Doctor (at least the following):
- Children: Pediatrician
- Women: Gynecologist
- Men: Urologist (from 40)
- Elderly: Geriatrician (if possible) and Proctologist after 40
Nutritionist
Dentist
Other necessary professionals (psychologists, physiotherapists, etc.)
If you have symptoms, of course you should be seen; but if you don't have any disorders, doesn't it seem logical that you should still be seen periodically to keep yourself healthy? After all, isn't prevention much better than having to be “remedied”? In other words, a patient told me that her son's pediatrician told her that she should only bring him back for an evaluation “when he shows any symptoms”. But this is wrong, because if the child is really WELL, they should be evaluated and treated (if necessary) periodically in order to stay well! And I'm not the one who says this “out of the blue”: the World Health Organization itself (in an official document) advises that all nations of the world should be concerned and invest more and more in PREVENTION as health systems around the world become increasingly insufficient in the face of the large mass of people living longer but sicker, which will soon make it impossible to provide sufficient curative care for everyone, worldwide. Our diet can make us sick or make us stronger and even cure disorders, which makes regular nutritional monitoring a key element in truly adequate and complete health care.
Oral health has been increasingly linked to the health of the body as a whole, and recent studies make it clear that if it's not “right”, it can have a significant effect on even noble organs such as the heart and brain; this is why regular dental advice and treatment is essential.
Each case is unique and, as such, may need to be assessed and dealt with by several other health professionals, since multidisciplinary care is the best way to provide truly holistic and integrative health care, taking into account the “whole” of each organism. After all, if every part of the body and mind affects each other, and health knowledge is increasingly vast (to the point where we have more and more specialists in specific parts), there is nothing more logical than for each professional to attend to the part they have studied the most and understand when necessary. As they say, “every monkey on its own tree”: the psychologist knows more about therapy, the physiotherapist more about general rehabilitation, etc.
What to expect from each health professional?
Regular consultations with the right professionals should make this possible:
- PREVENTION guidelines (including the promotion of healthy lifestyle habits, which are essential)
- Complementary tests (well indicated)
- Early detection of diseases
- Treatment
- Follow-up
- General guidelines, especially on appropriate therapy
- Answering questions
- Security
I believe that if each of us keeps these aspects in mind whenever we seek care, we should start to get better and better results, for our own benefit and for the benefit of those we love. So, CHARGE FOR GOOD SERVICE, the most complete possible solution for your needs, always!
