Introduction: Regular physical examination is an important measure to prevent the occurrence of diseases, which is equivalent to helping yourself to check the gaps, and is a necessary health habit to protect yourself.
Ancient and modern gleanings: In the book the SuWen(the Plain Questions), we read: "This is why the sage did not treat disease but treat when disease not in attack, not handle with disorder but handle with the condition not in chaos, meaning this. It is not too late for a man to Pierce a well with thirst and cast a cone with a bucket." "Although the disease did not occur, the one who saw the red color stabbed it, and the name is to cure the disease, not in attack." Here, the so-called "undiagnosed" is the existence of precursory minor diseases, that is, the stage with few and mild symptoms in the disease period, similar to the "desire disease" mentioned by herbalist Sun Simiao in the Tang dynasty. In this case, timely discovery, early diagnosis, and treatment undoubtedly play a decisive role. The story of herbalist Bian Que visited Cai Huan gong, in fact, is also the same truth.
Regular physical examination:prevent the disease.
Regular examination is an important part of preventive medicine, for example, breast cancer is preventable and the cure rate of early detection is very high. Breast cancer divides from one cell into two cells for varying lengths of time, ranging from 75 to 1043 days. It takes an average of 10 years for a cancer cell to develop into a 0.2-centimeter cancerous nodule, and another 4-7 years to develop into a 1-centimeter cancerous nodule. So it often takes 8 to 15 years to develop from a single breast cancer cell to a 1-centimeter breast cancer nodule. This length of time provides ample time for early detection of breast cancer.
