“Noble health, no one will know what you taste like until you go bad” – Kochanowski’s trifle has always been relevant, but probably never as much as it is now, in the era of the coronavirus pandemic. What to do in order not to be wise after the damage and enjoy your health as long as possible? Doctors have been reminding about one of these methods for years, and we still have a problem with it. I am talking about regular research, which is better not to be postponed, even during an epidemic.
- The 2020 National Health Test of Poles has shown that preventive healthcare is not our strong point
- Only 39 percent. respondents examined the concentration of cholesterol, 42 percent. performed a general urine test, 19 percent adult women have never had a Pap test

Chronic health conditions do not wait for the pandemic to end
The coronavirus pandemic made us all realize that health is the most valuable thing we have. The basic condition for maintaining it, but also for inner peace, is regular control, regardless of whether you are 30 or already belong to the senior group. Therefore, one of the best gifts we can give ourselves is a self-examination. It is also worth remembering now, when we are struggling with the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic.
– Yes, we have the COVID-19 epidemic in Poland, but other chronic diseases will not wait for its end. Any delay in treatment is directly related to complications, sometimes mild, which can still be managed, but it is not uncommon that they will leave a permanent mark on our body, leading to long-term or even life-long damage to health. – warns Bartosz Fiałek, a doctor, specialist in the field of rheumatology.
Prophylaxis saves health and even life
The National Health Test for Poles 2020 showed how much we have to catch up on. people, making it the largest health survey on the Polish Internet.
The report, which was prepared on the basis of the questionnaires completed by Poles, showed that preventive healthcare is not our strong point. Basic tests that allow for monitoring the health condition and early detection of many dangerous diseases are still not performed regularly by many. The data showed that only 39 percent. respondents examined the concentration of cholesterol, 42 percent. did a general urine test, 50 percent checked blood sugar, 56 percent. performed a blood count, and 74 percent. took a blood pressure measurement.
It is also not happy when it comes to cancer prevention. Although cancer is one of the leading causes of death in our country, many people still forget to perform screening tests at all or do not perform them regularly. The National Health Test of Poles 2020 shows that as many as 61 percent have never done colonoscopy in their lives. 55-64-year-olds and 58 percent people over 65 years of age, PSA testing has never been done by as much as 35 percent. men aged 55-64 and 19 percent. men over 65. Cytology never did as much as 19 percent. adult women.

– I encourage everyone to take advantage of preventive examinations and medical visits – says Bartosz Fiałek. – Timely use of medical services allows for early diagnosis, quick implementation of treatment and avoiding serious complications.
