Back to: Preventive check-ups
Many serious diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and various forms of malignancy, do not cause any symptoms or pain in the initial stages. Regular systematic examinations make it possible to observe the first discrete changes in the body at the moment when the chances of a complete cure or successful control are greatest.
If you want to perform comprehensive preventive and systematic examinations for yourself or your family, on this page you can find a list of the best polyclinics and diagnostic centers in Belgrade.
The content of the preventive systematic examination is adapted to the age, gender, family history and risk factors of each patient.
The main basis is a detailed laboratory analysis of blood and urine, which provides insight into the blood count, sugar level, fat, liver and kidney function. This is followed by an examination by a general practitioner with blood pressure measurement and ECG recording of the heart. For women, the preventive package necessarily includes an annual gynecological examination with a Pap test, colposcopy and pelvic ultrasound, as well as breast ultrasound or mammography after the age of 40. For men, the key part is a urological examination with ultrasound of the prostate and control of PSA tumor markers from the blood for early detection of changes in the prostate.
Preventive examinations are recommended to be done at least once a year, even when you feel completely healthy and energized.
After the age of 45, additional diagnostic methods such as abdominal ultrasound, bone density testing (osteodensitometry) and screening for early detection of colon cancer are recommended as part of regular check-ups. Prevention provides peace and security to the whole family.
