Understanding How a Health Check Works at Nordic Med
Getting a health check is about gaining a clear and reliable picture of your overall well-being â and the process should feel simple, safe and transparent. At Nordic Med in Marbella, we offer medical health checks tailored to different needs and life situations. Whether you want to monitor hormones, vitamins, fertility or perform a more comprehensive annual check-up, the process is always structured step by step with medical accuracy.
Choosing Your Health Check
The first step is to book your appointment online through our website. There you can explore our different categories â such as Fertility & Pregnancy, Hormones, STI, Allergies, Specific Organs, Vitamins & Minerals, or our larger panels like the Womenâs Health Check.
Each category includes a clear description of what is analysed, plus preparation instructions such as fasting, avoiding biotin supplements, or visiting before 12:00.
Your Visit and Blood Sample
Once youâve selected your test and booked your time, you visit our clinic for the blood draw. Our medical team greets you and ensures the experience is smooth and comfortable. The sample collection usually takes only a few minutes, and we are always available to answer questions or explain the process.
Afterwards, the samples are sent to our laboratory for analysis according to the health package you selected.
Receiving Your Results
When the analysis is complete, your results are delivered digitally, together with a medical comment from one of our doctors. The doctorâs note helps you understand the results, whether something needs follow-up, or if everything looks normal.
If any value is alarming or unexpectedly abnormal, you will also be contacted by phone so that we can quickly create an action plan and provide further medical guidance.
Why Many Choose Annual Health Checks
Many patients choose to repeat their health check yearly to track changes over time and detect imbalances before they develop into symptoms or long-term issues.
A health check with us not only shows how your body is doing today â it also helps you understand your health needs and take control of your long-term well-being.
