Preventive medicine focuses on all the ways you can avoid getting sick. It’s not always possible to prevent ill health, but you might be surprised by how much you can do to reduce your vulnerability to many diseases.
A healthy lifestyle is one of the keys to preventive medicine. The Remart Medical team can help you with advice on diet and weight loss, quitting smoking, reducing alcohol intake, getting more exercise, managing chronic conditions like asthma, and reducing your risk of acute illnesses like urinary tract infections (UTIs).
Preventing illness makes perfect sense. It saves you money and time, stops you from missing out on activities and events you enjoy, and helps you live a longer, more fulfilling life. Perhaps most significantly, you don’t have to endure the pain and other distressing symptoms of being sick.
In many cases, preventive medicine can save your life. The Remart Medical team’s preventive medicine services help you avoid many of the diseases that are leading causes of premature death, including some cancers, congestive heart failure, hypertension (high blood pressure), diabetes, and high cholesterol.
Preventive medicine services available at Remart Medical include:
Immunizations begin shortly after a baby’s born and continue through childhood. They arm your immune system so that when you encounter a specific pathogen (bacteria or virus), your body recognizes it and destroys it.
Immunizations prevent numerous diseases, including polio, hepatitis, pneumonia, measles, and tetanus. Some require boosters in adulthood; others protect you for life.
An annual physical is a yearly health check where your provider looks for early signs of health problems. They check your vital signs, do a physical exam, and take blood for lab tests. In addition to annual physicals, Remart Medical offers well-woman, well-man, and well-child exams personalized to your needs.
Choosing when or if to have children is far better for your mental and physical health than leaving conception to chance. Remart Medical offers comprehensive contraception services, including birth control pills, hormonal implants, and intrauterine devices (IUDs).
Screening identifies diseases before you start experiencing symptoms. They typically involve testing blood or cell samples in the lab to look for specific disease markers.
Examples include blood tests for high cholesterol and blood sugar, Pap smears for cervical cancer, breast and prostate exams, sexually transmitted disease (STD) screening, and blood pressure measurements.
