Even though we did not want to, the lovely summer days were coming to an end, and life returned to its usual pattern. While enjoying the pleasant autumn days, it could be a good idea to get your health checked for both current health issues and potential issues that could arise throughout the holiday season.
Expressing that persons with chronic illnesses or illnesses that need ongoing monitoring sometimes disregard their meds or their controls since they feel well at the time, Yeditepe University Kozyatagi Hospital’s Internal Diseases Specialist Dr. Mehmet Akif Ozturk stated, "However, after the summer is through, when everyone goes back home, they will inevitably have to deal with these neglected health issues once more."

Stressing that there is no need to have any health issues to have routine check-ups, Specialist Dr. Ozturk continued: ''General controls can assist you in determining whether you are at risk for any disease or if you already have one. Based on the results of the biomarkers that are appropriate for you, you can take the necessary steps to improve your health based on your personal history, lifestyle, and physical characteristics.''
Yeditepe University Kozyatagi Hospital Internal Diseases Specialist Dr. Mehmet Akif Ozturk informed the public about the potential problems that may arise upon the return of the holiday, as well as the people who should pay close attention...

Middle and Elderly Age Groups

People in this group typically have chronic diseases, with diabetes and hypertension being the most common. However, their drug regimens for the summer may be disrupted. Furthermore, sugar levels can rise, especially if diabetics do not pay close attention to their diet. As a result, it is even more critical to assess the general health status of people with chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension just after the holiday.

Overweight or Obese People

These people's diets can also be disrupted during the summer, particularly during all-inclusive vacations. As a result, a medical examination will provide both the final point in weight control as well as future weight control planning. However, by evaluating the risk situation in terms of other diseases that may accompany it, values such as blood pressure and cholesterol can ensure that necessary precautions are taken.

Chronic Kidney and Heart Diseases

The body fluid-electrolyte balance can be easily disrupted, especially during the summer. This could aggravate the already damaged kidneys. Patients with heart disease, on the other hand, are easily affected by changes in body fluid balance and electrolyte balance caused by high summer temperatures. Again, patients with high cholesterol, whether they are at risk for cardiovascular disease or not, may neglect their cholesterol levels by not paying attention to their diets during the holiday season. As a result, patients in this category should also have a medical check-up at the end of the holiday.

Childhood Vaccines Should Not Be Neglected

Children are another group that requires check-ups. During the summer, children are prone to short-term infections. Infection factors picked up in public places through close contact with friends at the beach or on the street can make children ill in the short term. It can cause diseases that cause diarrhea, particularly those that affect the gastrointestinal tract. As a result of malnutrition, this situation increases the risk of vitamin deficiencies. Having routine blood value checks in preschool at the beginning of September will allow you to focus on this issue if there is any deficiency or excess in the necessary vitamin levels.
However, it is also critical to perform general check-ups on children before they start school to avoid potential health problems. In addition to health checks, children's routine vaccinations should be checked, and any missing vaccines should be completed.

Do Not Ignore the Flu Vaccine

Despite the fact that the Covid-19 pandemic has forgotten about seasonal flu, it appears that the flu will be discussed again in the autumn with the return to normalcy. Now is the time for the flu vaccine. Although you may believe you do not require the vaccine because you do not take the flu seriously, it is a serious problem that can affect people of all ages. Vaccination is extremely crucial for people with weakened immune systems, those suffering from chronic diseases, the elderly, and pregnant women. Being immunized against the flu, which shares symptoms with Covid and can cause confusion, will also help to avoid any confusion. As a result, the flu vaccine should unquestionably be included on the list upon returning from holiday.

Consider Joint Pain Serious

The lively environment of the holiday season may cause some problems, especially for people who work at a desk and do not have an exercise routine. Intense exercise during this period can be harmful without you realizing it. As a result, any pain you experience in your joints, shoulder, or neck area should be evaluated.

Do Not Overlook Digestive Problems

Food is an essential component of any vacation. As a result, it is completely natural to deviate from the dietary pattern during this time. This change, as well as differences in the products chosen, may result in gastrointestinal issues. Although this situation usually results in temporary problems, if your problems persist or reoccur after the holiday, it is essential to have them checked as soon as possible.

Do Not call it vacation exhaustion!

Although the purpose of the vacation is to rest, it can be exhausting at times. It is normal for this fatigue to last for a while after returning from vacation. People who are still tired, exhausted, and lacking in energy should have their values checked with a blood test. Because the underlying thyroid disease may be a symptom of another disease, such as vitamin deficiency or anemia.
