Female Physical Examination Program

The main physical examination items for women include gynecological examination, breast examination, cervical cancer screening, bone density examination, and endocrine examination. Regular physical examinations can help detect diseases early and maintain women's health.

1. Gynecological examination

Gynecological examination is a basic item of female physical examination, including examination of the external genitalia, vagina, cervix, and uterus. Common gynecological diseases such as vaginitis, cervicitis, and uterine fibroids can be detected through gynecological examinations. During the examination, the doctor will use a speculum to observe the condition of the vagina and cervix, and if necessary, perform routine vaginal discharge examination. It is recommended that women who engage in sexual activity undergo gynecological examinations once a year.

2. Breast examination

Breast examination mainly includes breast palpation and breast ultrasound examination. Women over 40 years old are recommended to increase breast mammography. These examinations can help find diseases such as breast hyperplasia, breast fibroma and breast cancer. Breast self-examination is also an important examination method, and it is recommended that women undergo self-examination after their menstrual cycle ends every month. If abnormal conditions such as breast lumps and nipple discharge are found, seek medical attention promptly.

3. Cervical cancer screening

Cervical cancer screening mainly includes cervical cytology examination and human papillomavirus testing. Cervical cytology examination can detect precancerous lesions of the cervix at an early stage. It is recommended that women over 21 years old who have sexual activity undergo a check-up every 3 years. Women over 30 years old can undergo combined cervical cytology examination and human papillomavirus testing. If the results are normal, they can be checked every 5 years. Getting vaccinated against HPV can also effectively prevent cervical cancer.

4. Bone density examination

Bone density examination is mainly used for screening osteoporosis and is recommended for postmenopausal women to undergo it regularly. Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry is a commonly used examination method that can accurately measure bone density. Early osteoporosis may not have obvious symptoms, but it increases the risk of fractures. Maintaining moderate exercise, supplementing calcium and vitamin D can help prevent osteoporosis.

5. Endocrine examination

Endocrine examination includes six items of sex hormones, thyroid function and other testing items. These tests can help diagnose endocrine disorders such as menstrual irregularities, polycystic ovary syndrome, and thyroid dysfunction. Women need to pay special attention to their endocrine health during special periods such as pregnancy preparation and menopause. When symptoms such as menstrual disorders and abnormal weight changes occur, timely medical examination should be sought. Women should develop personalized physical examination plans based on age, health status, and family medical history. In addition to the above-mentioned special examinations, regular routine checks such as blood pressure, blood glucose, and blood lipids should also be conducted. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, balanced diet, moderate exercise, and ensuring adequate sleep all contribute to maintaining women's health. When abnormalities are found during physical examination, timely medical attention should be sought, and treatment and follow-up should be carried out according to medical advice.
