While health screenings offer significant benefits, they also have limitations and potential risks:
False Positives: Tests may sometimes indicate a disease when it is not present, leading to unnecessary anxiety and further testing. False Negatives: Screenings might miss a disease, providing a false sense of security. Overdiagnosis: Detecting conditions that may never cause symptoms or harm, leading to unnecessary treatment. Cost: Some screenings can be expensive and may not be covered by insurance.
