Regular check-ups for women are the easiest and most reliable way to prevent potential health risks and diagnose diseases at early stages. Check-up programs vary depending on:

• Age;

It is therefore recommended to have annual personalized health checks at any age.

Risk factors in the female body

Currently, gender differences in the occurrence of various diseases are discussed in scientific literature, which has become the basis for the formation of gender (sex) approaches to treatment.

Regarding cardiovascular diseases, not only the differences in the course of diseases are important, but also the characteristics of the female body’s response to their treatment

Also, the most common risks to women’s health are:

• breast cancer,
• cervical cancer,
• thyroid cancer,
• colorectal cancer,
• ischemic heart disease,
• blood pressure,
• diabetes,
• Alzheimer’s disease.

For this reason, women’s check-up programs mainly include examinations and tests for the early diagnosis of these diseases.

Check-up or medical examination?

According to statistics, 20% of cancer patients showed positive dynamics of treatment due to the fact that signs of cancer were detected at early stages during an annual examination of the body. Also, a visit to a cardiologist and a thorough cardiological examination does not allow cardiovascular diseases to develop further.

Previously, all residents of the USSR countries underwent mandatory general medical examination, at present, the preventive focus of medicine has been replaced by the detection of already formed diseases.

Medical examination consists of the same set of general tests for all patients. Check-up contains a set of more in-depth specific tests. Also, the patient can select the composition of tests and examinations of the check-up depending on individual specifics and age.

Based on the results of the check-up, a specialist’s conclusion is issued, which reflects an assessment of the current state of the body, as well as the doctor’s recommendations. This approach allows you to focus on disease prevention.

How is a check-up after 40 different?

After 40, a woman’s hormonal background begins to change, which puts certain body systems at risk. At this age, doctors in Turkey recommend adding the following tests to your annual health check-up program:

• Bone mineral density test (bone densitometry). It measures the amount of minerals present in your bone to help determine your risk of osteoporosis and bone fractures.
• Mammography. All women over 40 should have a mammogram at least once every 2 years. Before 40, they usually do not have a mammogram, but an ultrasound of the mammary glands. After 40, a mammogram is much more indicative than an ultrasound, so it should be done.
• Treadmill stress test and ultrasound of the heart. At this age, more in-depth tests are needed to check the blood vessels and heart function.
• Tumor markers.
