In today's society, people are paying more and more attention to health, and physical examinations have become a way for many people to stay healthy.

However, facing the various complicated physical examination items on the market, how should we choose to avoid wasting money and ensure the effectiveness of the physical examination?

First of all, we need to understand a concept: the "1+X" physical examination principle.

This is based on the "Expert Consensus on Basic Items of Health Physical Examination" released in 2022, which aims to guide people to conduct reasonable physical examinations.

The so-called "1" refers to basic physical examination items, which include blood routine, urine routine, liver and kidney function, electrocardiogram, B-ultrasound, etc. Although there are not many items, most common health problems are covered.

For most people, basic physical examination items are enough to monitor their own health status.

"X" means that on the basis of basic physical examinations, some special examinations are selected according to personal specific circumstances.

For example, if there is a history of gastric cancer in the family, then the screening of the gastrointestinal tract can be focused on during the physical examination. Personalized physical examinations not only save expenses, but also improve the pertinence of the examination.

However, physical examinations are not a panacea. They can help us detect health problems early, but they do not make it difficult to solve the cost of treatment.

Therefore, it is best for everyone to take advantage of good health conditions to make good health insurance in advance. If you really get sick, you can reimburse medical expenses and reduce financial pressure.
