We have to visit Health Practician and Doctors some time to time:
Something that many of us don’t realize, but that happens quite often—is something called the “Fear of doctors.” It’s sometimes also referred to as the “White coat syndrome.” Many people are unconsciously afraid of seeing doctors, even when they need to. This fear is often Subconscious; We don’t actively think about it, but it still prevents us from booking appointments or seeking help.
In psychology, we learn about the conscious and unconscious mind. This particular fear usually lies in the unconscious, which means we may not even be aware that we are avoiding medical care. The situation can be even more complicated for people with a foreign background living in another country, who often prefer to see a doctor from their home country rather than getting routine health checks where they currently live. Ironically, people with diverse backgrounds are often more exposed to health risks due to systemic factors, so they should be prioritizing care even more.
This issue applies to all types of health professionals: General practitioners, Opticians, Dentists, Dermatologists, and others. Many of us simply forget to schedule visits, even though these professionals exist to help us.
The habit of seeing doctors regularly is usually passed down from our parents or based on government recommendations. But as we grow older and move homes or cities, we often forget to maintain that routine.
This is important because doctors can often detect problems early. Any-time we feel something unusual; like pain or discomfort; it’s a signal that something may be wrong, and it should be investigated. Uncommon or persistent pain is not normal and shouldn’t be ignored.
Our society tends to focus on perfection, which creates the illusion that we are invincible—but that’s completely false. We often believe we’re strong and healthy, but conditions like Cancer can arise suddenly. How many stories have we heard about people losing someone from one day to the next? Did you know that even children can develop cancer?
Have you visited your doctor this year? What about your optician? Your dentist? Dermatologist? Chiropractor?
Here are some general recommendations:
- GP check-up: at least once a year
- Dentist: every 6 months
- Optician: every 2 years, or yearly depending on your age and needs
Another problem is when we experience symptoms but don’t tell our doctors. That’s when things become dangerous. Doctors can’t guess; they need all the details. If something unusual is happening, you have to tell them.
It’s also essential to report anything unusual in your environment, for example:
- Contamination at home
- Garden pesticide issues
- Unsafe cosmetics or personal care products
- Unsafe cleaning or household items
Helpful tools like the Yuka app can help you check the safety of food and cosmetics. You can also use tools to assess soil quality and remove toxic products from your home. Be aware of risks like PFAS and other harmful chemicals. A great resource for this is Consumer Magazine Websites (Links).
Awareness is crucial. Noticing something wrong; like a strange or persistent pain; Shouldn’t be ignored. Try to recognize the pattern, write it down, and mention it to your doctor.
The best step is often to simply call your GP practice, explain your symptoms and the context (What happened, When, How), and book an appointment. Yes, it can feel tiring or like a hassle, but your health is worth the effort.But this is very important it help to resolve and protect ourself please go visit your Doctors as it should be.
