As a child, you had frequent visits with your pediatrician to ensure proper growth and development. Now that you’re fully grown, you may think that there is no need to see a physician until you reach an advanced age or have obvious signs and symptoms of a medical problem. However, this type of thinking can get you into trouble. Missing just one annual physical exam can allow a newly developing health issue to spiral out of control. By avoiding your doctor, you may also miss opportunities to learn about preventing both chronic and acute conditions from occurring in the first place. Even if you take great care of yourself and feel healthy and vibrant, an essential component of maintaining your overall well-being is to see your doctor for an annual health assessment.
