  1. Gynecological Exam
A yearly visit to a gynecologist is crucial for maintaining reproductive health. This includes a pelvic exam to check for abnormalities in the uterus or ovaries and a Pap smear to screen for cervical cancer.✔️ Ideal For: Women aged 21 and above✔️ Frequency: Every 1–3 years depending on age and history 
  1. Hormonal Blood Tests
Hormonal imbalances can affect everything from mood and energy levels to fertility. An annual hormonal panel checks levels of estrogen, progesterone, FSH, LH, and thyroid hormones, giving insight into menstrual health and fertility potential.✔️ Ideal For: Women with irregular periods, PCOS, or fertility concerns✔️ Frequency: Annually or as advised by your fertility specialist 
  1. Breast Health Screening
Early detection is key in the fight against breast cancer. Annual clinical breast exams and breast self-awareness are important. For women over 40, a mammogram may also be recommended.✔️ Ideal For: All women over 30; mammograms after 40✔️ Frequency: Yearly clinical exam; mammogram every 1–2 years 
  1. Bone Density Test
Due to hormonal changes, especially post-30, women are at increased risk of osteoporosis. A bone density scan (DEXA) can assess your bone strength early.✔️ Ideal For: Women over 35 or with a family history of bone issues✔️ Frequency: Every 2–3 years or as recommended 
  1. Fertility Assessment
