Breast Cancer Screening: This includes a clinical breast examination (CBE) performed by a healthcare provider to check for any abnormalities in the breasts. Mammography, a specialized X-ray of the breast, is also commonly used for breast cancer screening. 2. Cervical Cancer Screening: The Pap smear test is performed to detect abnormal cell changes in the cervix that may indicate the presence of cervical cancer or its precursors. This test is often combined with testing for human papillomavirus (HPV), a common cause of cervical cancer. 3.

It may involve a visual inspection, manual palpation, and sometimes the use of a speculum. 4. Bone Density Test: This screening diagnoses osteoporosis, a condition characterized by weak and brittle bones. It measures the density of bones, usually in the hip and spine, to assess the risk of fractures. 5. Blood Pressure Measurement: Regular blood pressure checks are essential for monitoring cardiovascular health and detecting hypertension, which can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. 6. Cholesterol Test: This blood test measures the levels of various types of cholesterol in the blood, such as LDL (bad cholesterol) and HDL (good cholesterol). High cholesterol levels are associated with an increased risk of heart disease. 7. Blood Glucose Test: This test measures the glucose (sugar) level. Women need to consult the blood, which is used to screen for diabetes and someone's for bone density, with their healthcare provider to determine which screenings are appropriate for their age, medical history, and risk factors.
