It is important that even seemingly healthy Singaporeans go for regular checkups to ensure their bill of health. However, certain additional tests may be warranted for people who are predisposed to certain diseases. For example, based on family history or social history, you may be at a higher risk for developing specific diseases over time. Your own pre-existing medical conditions may also affect your risk of further diseases and complications. 

Our clinic aims to provide a one-stop facility for screening, assessment and treatment of many of these common health ailments. 

You will most likely be having bloodwork done in a fasting state. This is a test that will check for blood glucose levels, cholesterol, triglycerides, and other markers of health. Make sure that you fast for at least eight hours before your appointment in order to have accurate results. 

If you are hungry during your appointment, you will have to wait to eat until after the tests are performed. You may have plain water before and during the appointment.  

If you are unsure about skipping medications or any other parts of the process, make sure to ask your doctor or other healthcare staff. Patients who are taking diabetic medication, for example, may be asked to hold their medication until after the screening is completed. 

Make sure that you inform the staff and physician if you are pregnant or suspect that you could be pregnant.

If you are having your period, tests such as a pap smear, urine, and stool tests should not be performed until five days after or before a menstrual cycle. If your period coincides with the date of the screen, make sure to inform the staff or the physician in charge. The tests will be rearranged at a later date as the presence of blood can affect the results of the test.

If you have having an ultrasound, you will have to drink 5-6 glasses of water before having an ultrasound of the pelvis and abdomen. Additionally, you will have to fast for eight hours before this test. You should avoid urinating about an hour before the exam.

If you are having a mammogram, it’s recommended to not have this test performed if you are pregnant. You should also avoid this test until at least one week after the last day of your menstruation. Additionally, try to avoid wearing deodorant, perform, or any creams on your underarm or chest area as this will affect the quality of the mammogram.
