Medical Fitness Reports

A physical examination is an essential aspect of any appointment with your doctor. Surprisingly, a routine physical exam does not have any absolutes. Dr Rammego will spend time listening to your health concerns and offer treatment, advice or further testing where necessary.

Even if you think you are in good health, you should visit your doctor for a check-up because medical exams can help detect health problems early, allowing for more successful treatment.

Additionally, a health check-up can help Dr Rammego compile a medical fitness report, which may be necessary for your employer, a sporting activity or if you are travelling overseas.

Types of tests done in an annual health check-up:

  • Blood Pressure - A blood pressure test measures the pressure in your arteries as your heart pumps.
  • Cholesterol - A cholesterol test is a blood test that determines how much of each type of cholesterol and specific lipids are present in your blood.
  • Blood Sugar - Your glucose or blood sugar levels will be determined by a simple blood test or finger prick. If your blood sugar levels are high, your body has trouble producing insulin, and you may develop diabetes.
  • Cancer Screening: Skin lesions, Breast, Prostate, Intestinal.
  • Bone Density Test - A bone density test is a test that determines how strong your bones are.

Reasons for doing Annual health check-ups:

  • Health issues can be recognised early on before they progress into something far more severe.
  • A screening test can diagnose and prevent dangerous illnesses such as cancer.
  • You can save money by preventing health problems from becoming chronic
