In addition to routine medical checkups, what diseases should women of all ages focus on screening for? In recent years, women’s health problems have become more and more prominent, especially the high incidence of breast cancer and cervical cancer. According to some data, the incidence of breast cancer in China has increased more than twice as fast as the global rate since the 1990s; and there are about 100,000 new cases of cervical cancer every year, accounting for 1/5 of the world total. Regular medical checkups are the best means to detect diseases and can strongly “protect” women’s health. The risk of specific diseases varies at different stages of a woman’s life. Therefore, in addition to routine checkups, what diseases should women of all ages focus on screening for? 20~30 years old 1. TCT (cervical fluid-based thin layer cell) test This test can detect cervical precancerous lesions and early cervical cancer. Experts say that since most HPV infections before the age of 30 are transient, it is recommended that women who have a history of sexual intercourse over the age of 21 should have a TCT test every three years. (Cervical screening is not recommended before age 21 because the incidence of cervical cancer is extremely low before age 21.) High-risk factors for cervical cancer History of smoking Early marriage and multiple childbearing Long-term use of contraceptive pills Early sexual debut History of sexually transmitted diseases, etc. 2. Sexually transmitted disease examination This age group is in the sexually active period and has an increased risk of being infected by various germs, so the examination of sexually transmitted diseases such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, AIDS and syphilis should be increased appropriately and can be done once every 1-2 years. 30~40 years old 1. HPV+TCT screening HPV infection is a necessary factor for cervical cancer, but HPV should not be screened as an independent test. Therefore, women over 30 years old can undergo combined cervical cancer screening, i.e. HPV+TCT test, once every five years. 2. Thyroid disease screening In recent years, the incidence of thyroid disease in women has been on the rise. women over 30 years old are prone to endocrine thyroid disease due to the pressure of balancing work and family; people over 40 years old have a high incidence of thyroid cancer. It is recommended that women in this age group should be screened for thyroid diseases in addition to routine checkups. In recent years, the incidence of thyroid disease in women has been on the rise, and women over 30 years old are prone to endocrine thyroid disease due to the pressure of work and family, while those over 40 years old have a high incidence of thyroid cancer. It is recommended that women in this age group should be screened for thyroid disease in addition to their regular checkups. Breast cancer high-risk group Those with obvious genetic predisposition to breast cancer Patients with previous history of moderate to severe atypical hyperplasia of breast ducts or lobules or lobular carcinoma in situ Patients with previous history of chest radiotherapy 40-60 years old 1. Mammogram Breast cancer is the number one killer of women’s health and its incidence increases with age. Mammogram is recommended once a year for women aged 40-49 years, combined with clinical examination and ultrasound for dense breast, and once every 1-2 years starting from age 50. It should be noted that mammography screening is not recommended for women aged 20-39 years for non-high risk groups. 2.Bone density test After menopause, the bones become more fragile, bone density test can help the elderly to understand their own bone quality condition. Screening can be done based on the presence or absence of a history of osteoporosis. Age 60+ 1. Tumor screening Women in this age group should focus on tumor screening, such as cervical cancer and breast cancer. In terms of cervical cancer screening, women over 65 years of age with a sufficient number of prior occult findings and no history of HSIL, adenocarcinoma in situ or cancer can stop screening. 2.Cardiovascular disease screening An annual checkup can be done for cardiovascular aspects such as heart ultrasound, electrocardiogram, laboratory tests for liver and kidney functions, and to monitor blood pressure, lipids and blood sugar; and liver, gallbladder, spleen and kidney ultrasound, chest radiograph or CT.
