If nothing hurts you, you lead a healthy lifestyle, eat right and exercise daily physical education, then I just want to say - continue to do the same and go to the doctor so many years later 10.

But I won't tell)

Because the best treatment is prevention.

We almost all live in those regions where something useful is lacking in the soil, in the air, in food, etc.

Many diseases develop over decades, and when they debut and we can identify them, the body has already suffered a loss of health.

Therefore, even a potentially healthy 30-year-old person would do well to analyze those parameters that reflect the most common diseases.

For example, pass the following tests:

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿป complete blood count,

๐Ÿ‘‰๐ŸปTTG-thyroid-stimulating hormone (almost ubiquitous iodine deficiency in our country leads to the development of thyroid pathology. In men, however, this organ suffers less often than in women, but it still suffers),

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿปinsulin (in the 21st century, as you know, the epidemic of obesity and diabetes),

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿป glucose,

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿปprolactin (quite often, an increased level of prolactin is masked as depression),

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿป total testosterone (not so often absolutely reduced at this age, as they write about it, but there are situations when the level of the hormone is really low),

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿปestradiol (taking into account the large number of young obese men, the activity of the aromatase enzyme increases, and with it estradiol also increases. And this is already a dangerous story and it is better to keep it under control. The most important thing is to get tested in a good laboratory. More on this below),

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿป25 (OH) D3 (a very common lack of this vitamin in our population, therefore it is necessary to pass it),

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿป uric acid (taking into account the growth of the same obesity, hyperurecemia is an increased level of uric acid in the blood, this is a very common condition of a modern person),

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿปhomocysteine โ€‹โ€‹(impaired liver metabolism due to excess adipose tissue in it, due to impaired absorption of B vitamins and other associated substances, the metabolism of the amino acid methionine is disrupted and homocysteine โ€‹โ€‹grows, with all the ensuing consequences for blood vessels or brain),

SHBG (looking at testosterone or estradiol by itself is meaningless, well, or less informative without understanding how much transport for these hormones is. Otherwise, if SHBG is high, then there can be as much testosterone as you like, but the effect will be small).

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿป general urine analysis.

And it is very important to find a good doctor who can prescribe these tests and then interpret them. It could be an endocrinologist.

Finally, about the laboratories. In Moscow, I recommend taking everything to the EFIS laboratories, the endocrinological research center. In the regions - Helix.
