Important building blocks of a happy, healthy life are exercise<\/strong>, a balanced diet and sufficient rest<\/strong>. As a specialist in family medicine in Marbella<\/a>, I support you on your individual path towards a healthier lifestyle.<\/p>\n

An important part of my work as a general practitioner is therefore focusing on health and prevention<\/strong>. During your check-up, we not only talk about pre-existing conditions, but also about your eating habits, exercise patterns, sleeping habits, emotional stress factors<\/strong> and your social environment.<\/p>\n

Any chronic or acute pre-existing conditions<\/strong>, current medication and allergies are carefully recorded. Family medical history is also highly relevant, as cardiovascular diseases<\/strong>, high cholesterol levels<\/strong> and other conditions may be influenced by genetic predisposition.<\/p>\n

After a detailed consultation, a physical examination<\/strong> is carried out. Vital parameters such as blood pressure, heart rate<\/strong> and body temperature<\/strong> are measured, followed by examination of the heart, lungs<\/strong> and abdominal organs. If necessary, a 24-hour blood pressure monitoring may be recommended.<\/p>\n

A urine test helps identify kidney function issues, hidden infections or early signs of diabetes<\/strong>. Laboratory testing is tailored to each patient and typically includes a complete blood count, liver and kidney function, electrolytes, cholesterol levels<\/strong>, blood sugar and thyroid values. Additional markers such as vitamin D<\/strong>, iron<\/strong> or vitamin B12<\/strong> may also be assessed depending on individual needs.<\/p>\n

An ECG<\/strong> can detect early signs of cardiovascular disease<\/strong>, while an abdominal ultrasound<\/strong> allows evaluation of internal organs. These examinations are non-invasive and provide valuable diagnostic information. If further investigation is required, this can be complemented through specialised care in internal medicine<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Vaccinations<\/strong> are a key element of prevention. During your check-up, your immunisation record will be reviewed and any necessary vaccines will be discussed. Travel vaccinations may also be required depending on your plans.<\/p>\n

Once all test results<\/strong> are available, we will define the next steps together. This may include adjusting medication, preventive measures or referral to other specialists, such as in sports medicine<\/a> when appropriate.<\/p>\n

The most important goal is simple: to stay healthy and maintain your well-being.<\/p>\n
