Checkups

What health checkups may women require?

In Why Are Health Checks Important? the (Australian) Jean Hailes for Women’s Health elaborate on:

“Even if you feel healthy, it’s important to have regular health checks. You might not have any symptoms, or you may only notice symptoms in later stages of an illness. Health checks can help identify health problems early”.2

In Health Screenings for Women Ages 40 To 64: Information the (United States) MedlinePlus elaborate on:

“Even if you feel fine, you should still see your provider for regular checkups. These visits can help you avoid problems in the future. For example, the only way to find out if you have high blood pressure is to have it checked regularly. High blood sugar and high cholesterol levels also may not have any symptoms in the early stages. A simple blood test can check for these conditions”.3
