Sometimes the body does not immediately show signs of possible problems, without accompanied by noticeable pain. However, once problems become apparent, resolving them may require significantly more time and expense than in the early stages.

Age 18-35. Save this list

• Carrying out an ultrasound examination of the mammary glands is extremely important for health. Regular visits to a mammologist are recommended – once a year, especially if there are no cases of breast disease in the family. In case of poor heredity or mutations of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, it is recommended to be examined every 8 months.
• Conducting an ultrasound examination of the pelvic organs is an extremely important procedure. Ovarian cancer is often called the “silent killer” because there are no pain receptors in the area. Symptoms or pain usually occur only when the tumor grows.
• A smear test for cervical cytology is recommended annually to detect precancerous or cancerous changes. This procedure is included in the compulsory health insurance (CHI) program, ensuring accessibility for all women.
• Testing for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) is recommended even if you are married or have been having sex with the same partner for a long time.
• Conducting tests for HIV, hepatitis (C/B) and syphilis.
• Undergoing fluorography.
• Carrying out general and biochemical blood tests, as well as analysis of general urination.

Age 35+

This list is officially intended for people over 40 years of age, but more careful monitoring of the body’s condition from the age of 35 is strongly recommended. At this age, hormonal changes begin, preparing the body for the period of perimenopause and menopause.

Important annual medical procedures

• Mammography for screening breast diseases.
• Ultrasound examination of the pelvic organs for the diagnosis of various pathologies.
• Cytological analysis of the cervix, necessary to identify precancerous conditions and cervical cancer. After reaching 65 years of age, this test can be skipped if the results have been normal for the past 10 years.
• Testing for sexually transmitted infections for early detection and treatment of possible infections.

Additional therapeutic examinations

• Regular monitoring of blood glucose levels to monitor your health.
• Measuring blood pressure to prevent cardiovascular diseases.
• Carrying out densitometry to assess bone density and identify the risk of osteoporosis, especially if you are over 65 years of age or have risk factors.
• Regular examination of the skin to identify new formations and changes.
• Ultrasound examination of the thyroid gland to monitor its function and identify pathologies.
• Undergoing fluorography for early detection of lung diseases.
• Colonoscopy every 10 years to screen for colorectal cancer. If there is a hereditary predisposition, this study should be carried out every 3-5 years, starting from the age of 40.

As we age, it becomes increasingly important to closely monitor our health. Even if you currently feel completely healthy, we strongly recommend that you save this post. Share this information with older women so we can all stay healthy and strong.
