Recommended comprehensive medical check-up for women aged 18 to 39
BREAST EXAMINATION
Women can perform a monthly breast self-examination. Screening mammography is recommended for most women over 40 years of age, and ultrasound for younger patients. If you have other risk factors for developing breast cancer, your doctor may recommend mammography/tomosynthesis, ultrasound or breast MRI. Read more about breast examination guidelines at the following link: Breast examination guidelines. Contact your doctor immediately if you notice a change in your breasts, regardless of whether you perform breast self-examinations or not.
SCREENING AND EARLY DETECTION OF CERVICAL CANCER
Screening should begin at age 21 or earlier if you are sexually active.
- Women aged 21 to 29 should have a Pap test every 3 years. HPV testing is not recommended for this age group.
- Women aged 30 to 65 should be screened either with a Pap test every 3 years or with an HPV test every 5 years.
- If you or your sexual partner have other new partners, you should have a Pap test every 3 years.
- Women who have been treated for a precancerous change (cervical dysplasia) of the cervix should continue with Pap tests for 20 years after treatment or until age 65.
ABDOMINAL EXAMINATION
Abdominal ultrasound is a quick and painless examination that can be used to examine almost all parts of the upper and lower abdomen and in this way detect changes and diseases.
SCREENING AND EARLY DETECTION OF HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
Measure your blood pressure at least once a year; if the systolic pressure (higher number) is 130 or higher, and the diastolic pressure (lower number) is 80 or higher – schedule a cardiology examination. It is also advised to have an ECG.
If you have other diseases, you must monitor your blood pressure more carefully.
SCREENING AND EARLY DETECTION OF HIGH CHOLESTEROL
The recommended age for screening is 45 for women without known risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, and for women with known risk factors as early as age 20. Women with normal cholesterol levels must repeat the test every 5 years.
If you have other diseases, you must monitor your cholesterol level more carefully.
SCREENING AND EARLY DETECTION OF DIABETES
If your blood pressure is 130/80 mmHg, test your blood sugar level. If your BMI is above 25, it means you are overweight and should begin screening at age 35.
If you are overweight and have other risk factors (high blood pressure) or are planning a pregnancy, it is also recommended to take the test.
SKIN SELF-EXAMINATION
Changes on the skin should be checked regularly and a dermatoscopic examination should be done once a year.
BLOOD TESTS AND URINE (basic)
CBC, cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL-C, LDL, VLDL, AST, ALT, GGT, alkaline phosphatase, bilirubin, iron, UIBC/TIBC, glucose, urea, urates, creatinine, CRP, TSH, fT4, fT4, stool occult blood test, blood draw and processing. Urine test with sediment.
OTHER EXAMINATIONS
Talk to your doctor about screening for colon cancer if you have a family history of colon cancer or polyps, or if you yourself have had inflammatory bowel disease or polyps. Routine bone density screening is not recommended for women under 40 years of age.
