Check, Mate: Why Regular Health Check-Ups Can Be Life-Saving for Women

December 3, 2020

Women may be superheroes but they still need a shield against medical problems at every age and stage. The trouble is, traditional barometers for health like blood pressure and body mass index don’t measure feminal profiles accurately. That’s why regular medical screening protocols like pap smears, immunisations, mammograms and faecal occult blood testing (from the age of 50) must be used in conjunction with blood pressure and body mass parameters to gauge overall health. A yearly check-up can help keep fatal diseases at bay and enable you to take stock of your health goals.

The Importance of Wellness Check-Ups

Wellness check-ups can not only help safeguard you against diseases, family conditions, lifestyle disorders and other risk factors, they can also help your doctor gain a consistent, valuable keyhole into your medical profile and progress. It’s important to make a note of the points you should mention to your doctor during your annual check-up. Your current medications, health concerns, any recent diseases in your family should definitely make it to this list.

Top 8 Tests Every Woman Should Have

On Cloudnine, our signature Well Woman Check-Ups are tailored for every age and medical profile. In general, our bespoke check-ups are composed of a bouquet of tests handpicked from the ones mentioned below, complemented by other custom-prescribed tests.

Blood Pressure Check

Blood pressure is an important yardstick of blood circulation. A reading of 120/180 millimetres of mercury (mm Hg) is considered an ideal reading; anything higher or lower could be a case of high or low blood pressure respectively, both of which are conditions that must be monitored consistently and closely.

Cholesterol Screening

Cholesterol is an important indicator of the risk of stroke and heart disease. Cholesterol levels should ideally read below 200 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl); a borderline or elevated reading could put you at serious risk of heart disease or stroke. An annual evaluation can help your doctor put you on a suitable corrective therapy.

Pap Smear

A pap smear involves the examination of cervical cells for the presence of cervical cancer. An early diagnosis can pave the way for a preemptive treatment plan.

Mammogram

The risk of breast cancer increases with age and having an annual mammogram starting at 50 can minimise the risk of its onset. If you have a family history of the disease, it is important that you highlight this to you doctor.

Bone Density Screening

Osteoporosis becomes a serious risk after menopause and a bone density test can help to spotlight its imminence. If you present risk factors like low body weight or fractures, you may be more prone to the disease; regular screening, in this case, becomes all the more important.

Blood Glucose Screening

Blood glucose is a useful index of diabetes and can help prepare you to accept, address and even prevent the condition with a healthy lifestyle. If you have a family history of diabetes or are obese, you may be at a higher risk of developing the condition.

Body Mass Index

Your body mass index (BMI) can be used to measure your susceptibility to heart disease and stroke. As a woman, it’s likely that you’ve channelled your fair share of superpowers at work, at home and in your community. Unfortunately, there’s only so much you can do when it comes to your health. Now, again just the magic ammunition you need to keep your health in the best condition, with regular health check-ups on Cloudnine. Go on, fuel up and catch a new lease of life.
