In addition to an annual physical check-up with a doctor, it is a good idea for a person to examine their own body regularly, too. Health self-examinations will help them to learn what is normal, what is changing, and what is unusual for their own body. Early detection of any abnormalities can improve the chances of surviving a disease like cancer.
