Honestly you shouldn't immediately go see a doctor if somethings a bit wrong. (Unless you are older or have other health risks)
Why not? I do a lot of preventative medicine. In the long run, it’s cheaper for the system. If I detect something out of the ordinary and recurrent, I go to the doctor and we check it. If some day it turns out it’s something serious, we’ll catch it early.
If you only go to the doctor when you have a lot of pain, or major symptoms, it may be too late, or it could mean a big surgery, or a lengthy and expensive treatment.
Doing regular checkups is always the best policy. Same is true for dental health. Go often, avoid big problems.
