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

Checkups

What are health checkups for women aged over 40 years?

In Health Checks At Different Ages: Health Checks for Women Aged 41 To 60 the JH explain:

  • “Have a blood pressure test every two years, then every year after you turn 50
  • Check your body mass index (BMI) and waist measurement every two years, then every year after you turn 50
  • Have a diabetes risk check every three years, and blood sugar test every year if you are at risk
  • Have a cholesterol test at least every five years
  • Have a cervical screening test every five years, or as advised by your doctor
  • Regularly check the look and feel of your breasts
  • Have a mammogram every two years
  • Have a sexual health check if you are sexually active
  • Have a bowel cancer screen every two years from the age of 50
  • Have a urine test to assess kidney health every year after the age of 50
  • Have a bone density scan if recommended by your doctor
  • Ask your doctor which vaccinations or boosters you need”.4

Other Checkups

What other health checkups may women require?

In Health Checks Throughout Your Life the JH elaborate on:

“It’s recommended you have certain checks, regardless of your age. For example:

  • Have a skin check every year
  • Have an eye test every two years, or as needed
  • Have a hearing test if you notice any hearing loss
  • Have a dental check and clean every year (some dentists recommend every six months)”.5

Health Care Provider

What if I am worried about my periods or menopausal symptoms?
