March is Women’s Health Month, and the best way to take care of your long-term health is through prevention. We spoke with physicians from Pembroke Pines to Port St. Lucia to gather a comprehensive list of health checks for women at every age and stage of life.
Dr. Christopher Chang, a renowned physician in allergy and immunology at Joe DiMaggio Hospital in Pembroke Pines, emphasized the importance of looking beyond the checklist. If you are experiencing symptoms of recurrent infections such as pneumonia or unusual infections, further testing or referrals to a specialist may be necessary.
For women aged 18-39, it is recommended to undergo cervical cancer screening, PAP and HPV testing, screening for gonorrhea and chlamydia, screening for contraception or contraception counseling, and receive recommended immunizations. Women should also get regular health checks and screenings at this stage to maintain good health.
For women aged 40-65, important tests include breast cancer screening, colorectal cancer screening, glaucoma screening, melanoma screening, lung cancer screening, osteoporosis screening
