Understanding Screening: Early Detection of Health Conditions

Screening is a vital process that identifies early signs of diseases or conditions in individuals without symptoms. By detecting health issues early, you increase the chances of effective treatment and improved survival rates. Participation in screening is voluntary and is crucial for various age groups and conditions. Women are recommended for cervical and breast screenings, while both men and women should participate in bowel screening. Additional screenings include antenatal and newborn checks, diabetic eye exams, and abdominal aortic aneurysm screenings for older males.
