Women tend to skip doctor appointments so prioritize these checkups

While confusion, annoyance, or a general lack of planning may interfere with the cadence of an individual’s medical appointments, maintaining frequent communication with healthcare professionals is a crucial step in preventative care. It’s often in routine appointments that doctors can detect new signs of illness that may require additional care. Detecting and treating a disease early can stop or slow its progression and substantially improve people’s quality of life.
