Frequently Asked Questions

At what age should I start getting regular health checkups?

It is recommended to start annual health screenings from age 20-25. Even healthy individuals benefit from baseline tests like CBC, blood sugar, thyroid, and lipid profile. Early screening helps detect potential issues before symptoms appear.

How often should I get a full body checkup?

Healthy adults under 40 should get a checkup every 1-2 years. After 40, annual checkups are recommended. Those with chronic conditions or family history of disease may need more frequent screening as advised by their doctor.

What tests are essential after age 50?

After 50, essential tests include CBC, blood sugar, HbA1c, lipid profile, liver and kidney function, thyroid, vitamin D, vitamin B12, ECG, 2D Echo, ultrasound abdomen, and cancer screenings (PSA for men, mammography for women). Bone density tests are recommended for women post-menopause.

Are health screening tests different for men and women?

Yes. Women need additional screenings like pap smear, mammography, thyroid (higher risk), iron studies, and PCOS evaluation. Men need prostate screening (PSA) after 50 and testosterone levels if symptomatic. Core metabolic tests remain similar.

Can I customise my health checkup based on my risk factors?

Yes. Focus Diagnostics offers customisable health packages. If you have family history of diabetes, heart disease, or cancer, additional targeted tests can be added. Use our Health Checkup Recommender tool or call 91213 77123 for personalised guidance.
