MC Recommended Tips
It is advisable to receive 1~2 times of comprehensive medical checkup. Most of diseases (High Blood Pressure, heart disease, diabetes, liver disease and etc.) are hard to detect in their early stage, which make them difficult to be treated at the point of diagnosis. Thus, it is important to detect any signs of diseases or disorders in their early stage through regular medical checkup. Rather than receiving thorough exams for various diseases at once, it is recommended to start with comprehensive medical checkup. You can move on to in-depth exams if any possibilities for disease are detected.
