Recommended Health Screening

Regular preventive screening plays an important role in maintaining your health and detecting medical conditions early, when they are often easier to treat.

Your physician may recommend screening based on your age, medical history, family history, and individual risk factors.

Common women’s health screenings include:

Pap Tests: Pap tests help detect abnormal cervical cells before they become cancerous. Regular cervical cancer screening is one of the most effective ways to prevent cervical cancer.

Breast Health: Routine breast health assessments and age-appropriate breast cancer screening help detect changes early. Your physician can discuss when mammography or additional breast screening may be appropriate for you.

Blood Pressure Screening: High blood pressure often has no symptoms but increases the risk of heart disease and stroke. Regular blood pressure checks are recommended as part of routine preventive care.

Diabetes Screening: Women with certain risk factors, including a family history of diabetes, previous gestational diabetes, or being overweight, may benefit from routine diabetes screening. Early detection can help prevent long-term complications.
