If you only need to make one New Year’s Resolution, make it look after your health. We don’t have to convince anyone that prevention is important. Often, however, we lack the time and willingness to perform tests, because there is nothing specific to us. Time to change that. It is worth starting the new year with an examination. What tests are worth signing up for?

  1. Preventive examinations should be performed regularly. Often, however, we lack the time or willingness to arrange a dozen or so visits. This is where research packages come in handy
  2. We often attribute symptoms such as drowsiness, fatigue, and skin problems to stress. Meanwhile, these may be signals sent by a malfunctioning thyroid gland
  3. If there are women in your family who have had ovarian or breast cancer, it is worth doing genetic testing for the development of these cancers
  4. You can find more up-to-date information on the TvoiLokony home page

Research that we should do on a regular basis

Regardless of whether you are 20, 30 or 50 years old, there are some tests you should do on a regular basis. Some of them need to be done every few years, others should be repeated every year. If you have had a slightly nonchalant approach to prevention so far, it’s time to change that. If you feel an unpleasant thrill at the mere thought of making a dozen or so visits to the laboratory, we have a solution in the form of age-appropriate test packages. You make an appointment once and use research tailored to your needs.

At Medonet Market you will find age-appropriate packages: for women 30+, women 40+ and a preventive examination package for women of all ages. It includes, among others morphology, ESR, creatinine, glucose, TSH, ALT, and ferritin. Thanks to these tests, you will find out what your general health condition is, and if the result is abnormal, it will be the basis for in-depth diagnostics.

Tests for problems with the thyroid gland

If you have recently felt that there is something wrong with your health, but you didn’t know exactly what, it’s time to do a thyroid hormone test. The fact that there are disturbances in the work of the thyroid gland is evidenced, among others, by constant tiredness, sleepiness or over-excitability, sudden weight gain or loss, constipation, skin problems, palpitations, sweating. Symptoms that we usually associate with stress and fatigue can actually be signs of hormone problems.

If there are suspected problems with thyroid hormones, tests for TSH, FT4, FT3 and ATPO and Anti-TG antibodies are performed.

Choose a study:

  1. Diagnostic package – hypothyroidism
  2. Diagnostic package – hyperthyroidism
  3. Hashimoto’s disease – a package of diagnostic tests

Research on cancer risk

Genetic testing for cancer risk, such as breast cancer or ovarian cancer, is worth doing if you are at risk, i.e. if your family has had breast cancer before the age of 50 (especially if there were two or more) or for ovarian cancer. They are also worth considering if there are any changes in the breasts or ovaries, and if there is a previous history of cancer in the family.

At Medonet Market, you can take advantage of the “Breast and ovarian cancer – genetic testing of the most common mutations” package. It is a mail-order test, which means that we don’t even have to leave the house to be tested. So we save time and reduce the stress that could accompany us in the queue for examinations.

A good New Year’s resolution may also be a genetic test for susceptibility to melanoma, a skin cancer that most often appears in people over 40 years of age. Genetic testing of the A148T mutation in the CDKN2A gene, which is responsible for the development of this type of cancer, can also be performed without leaving your home. They are especially recommended for people who have a family history of skin cancer.

In 2020, when access to doctors and diagnostics was difficult at the time of the greatest increases in morbidity, some of us gave up preventive examinations, postponing them. The beginning of 2021 is the perfect time to make up for the shortcomings or even start regular prophylaxis. In line with the saying that “prevention is easier than cure” let’s take care of our health all year round.

Do you want to improve immunity and strengthen the skin? We offer a set of dietary supplements with reishi mushrooms and collagen, which is intended for women. It is available on Medonet Market at an attractive price.

The editorial board recommends:

  1. Preventive examinations for women of all ages. Do regularly
  2. Facts and myths about breast cancer
  3. Health after 50 – research for women
