Hello everyone, a happy and fulfilling Sunday to you all. Preventive Medicine is needed in this present day due to airborne and waterborne diseases. I will be sharing my own take on this, just stay a little bit with me.

What Is Preventive Medicine For You?

Preventive Medicine just as the name implies to me are drugs taken or administered to people against diseases. Nowadays a lot of diseases are are so chronic that if not prevented through vaccines, they might turn out to be so deadly. Takin for instance Measles, it could be so deadly if vaccination is not administered to a child at tender age.

Preventive Medicine helps the immune system build an antibody against future diseases. When injected or taken orally, they help the immune system build a defensive wall against bacteria that may pose threat to the overall wellbeing of the human body.

Do You Think It Is Important And Necessary To Visit The Doctor Atleast Once A Year? Explain Your Answer!

Visiting the doctor should not be a thing to bargain on. It is very necessary to visit the doctor not just once a year but atleast every quarter of the year, this will help us be self-aware of our health state thereby taking necessary steps where needed inorder for us to live healthy.

Doctors are trained health professionals and they know how best to conduct a routine test on not only when we are sick but even when we feel so healthy. Our cities are being polluted everyday and we inhale these polluted air which might cause us one disease or the other. So the need to visit a doctor atleast quarterly should be prioritized.

What Do You Think Is The Main Objective Of Preventive Medicine? Give Reasons For Your Answer

There are several objectives of preventive Medicine but I will be sharing just few of it below;

• They help build up the immune system

• The help deal with undetected diseases in the body.

• They prolong life because of their ability to early detect diseases and repair worn out body tissues.

• They as well help prevent disability.

• Lastly, they prevent untimely death that maybe caused by untreated disease.

Tell Us If You Maintain Any Medical Control And What The Cause Is, Explain Your Answer

Currently, I am maintaining a routine check with my family doctor every two months because of the ulcer I developed some years back. I have always been making myself available every two months so he can examine me and know the kind of food to take and the ones I ought not to.

Secondly, I took my first dose of COVID 19 vaccine and yet to take the second dose, I am taking it so my immune system will build antibodies that will fight against the COVID 19 disease. Next month, I should be able to complete the doses.

Conclusion

There is an adage that says "prevention is better than cure". I will say it is better to prevent oneself from disease than experience it and then trying to cure it. The cost of treatment is far higher than the cost of prevention. Sometimes, people who wait to be sick before they treat mostly don't live to tell the tale, take care your health and prioritize visiting the doctor.

I want to invite @emily08, @etette, @ukpono to participate in this contest if they are yet to do it.

That's solid read about topic. Visiting a doctor in every quarter of year, might be very much appreciated and better.
But here where we live no kind of that doctors exists, maybe for rich people there is. For poor people they go to doctor and doctor check them only when they see and feel a disease or illness.

Hi @megareigns, I loved your participation, as you adequately describe the importance of preventing any disease.

We must keep a proper medical control, because, doctors as professionals that they are, can indicate is the relevant tests, to then treat any abnormality or possible disease.

Best regards.
