This International Women’s Day, instead of giving some jewelry, clothes, makeup, or shoes to women in your life, show them that you care by investing in their health and welfare.

According to statistics, the symptoms of diseases in women are very different from those in men, and most are often wrong – even with dreaded diseases. And so, it is important to get regular health screening and check-up to avoid future problems.

Here are some screening guidelines for women between the ages of 18 to 39:

Breast cancer screening

While breast self-examination is also important to find any anomalies, experts believe that it is important to get a mammogram for women under 40 years of age.

However, discussing and recommending mammograms, MRI scans, or ultrasound becomes more important if you have increased risk for breast cancer, eg: such as::

• A mother or sister who had breast cancer at an early age
• You carry a high -risk genetic marker

Doctors say that mammograms or X-ray images are the most common screening tests for breast cancer, which are too small to feel tumors and can get cancer quickly, improve treatment results. There are different types of mammograms including screen-film, digital, digital breast tomocynthesis and synthetic 2-dimensional. Regular mammograms can reduce the risk of dying of breast cancer.

Pap smear test

Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women globally, with millions of sufferings every year. According to doctors, women should undergo a pap smear screening for cervical cancer, which examines abnormal cells on your cervix that are cancer or have the ability to get cancer and can also detect some infections and inflammation.

During a pap smear, your doctor will take cells from your cervix to examine under a microscope. Between 21 and 30 years of age, anyone with cervix should get a pap smear at least once every three years. Between 30 and 65 years of age, you should have one every five years. Healthcare provider considers a PAP smear a standard of gold to prevent cervical cancer as it detects cervical cell changes before turning into cancer.

Thyroid screening

For women, thyroid screening usually involves a blood test that measures thyroid-stimulating hormones, or TSH, and indicates thyroid issues such as hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism.

According to experts, thyroid disorders are much more common in women than men, which not only affects their health normally, but also have a high risk of life-threatening diseases such as infertility, mood disorder, cancer and postpartum health. And therefore, a screening can help identify thyroid problems quickly, before the symptoms become severe or before they give rise to complications.

Cardiovascular check-up

In women, heart issues are much more common and dangerous than men. Even the symptoms of heart disease in women are different from men, and that is why many women miss significant diagnosis as well.

According to experts, this is why it is important for women to receive regular heart screening, especially if there is a history in their family, including checking blood pressure, cholesterol, and triglycerides, as well as assessing other risk factors, as well as testing such as EKG, Echocardiogram, or tension tests, which depend on personal needs and risk factors.

Bone -gradient test

All women are also known as their bone density test, dexa scan to measure bone strength and density. It helps determine if you have osteoporosis or low bone mass, which can increase the risk of fracture.

While globally, about 60 percent of people living with arthritis are in India, the prevalence has increased by 40 percent in the last decade.

And so, you should receive a bone density test around your menopause time, and mostly around that time there are risk factors like a parents who have broken the hip. Doctors say that women who undergo menopause have a high chance of breaking bones.
