Most of us believe that when a doctor orders screening tests, that’s a serious step toward keeping illness at bay. The screening test can find factors that place us at risk for diseases we might develop in the future or find hidden diseases. In either case, we will be treated.Do they really serve the purpose do discuss

Blood Cholesterol test- is it required

idea posted by Deepak Kumar Singh General Practitioner, Apollo Group
Blood cholesterol level is a risk factor for heart and other blood vessel diseases — but not much of a risk factor. High cholesterol  is dangerous. But the treatment i believe does not reduce the risk of dying from heart disease And to avoid it you need to take 5 -6 pills all our lives.Is it worth your while to take these pills for years? Would it be worth it if you had to pay out-of-pocket?

PSA Testing

idea posted by Ashwin Meshram Project Manager, Geometric Software
PSA stands for Prostate Specific Antigen.Prostate cancer is a normal part of aging; by age 70, essentially all men have prostate cancer.The challenge for screening is not to find prostate cancer, but to find the prostate cancer that will kill a man before his time. That’s a big challenge. After all, if you want to be sure you will not die from prostate cancer before your time, you will have to submit to a procedure, usually a major surgical procedure that offers a 15 percent likelihood of incontinence and more of impotence.
