Annual Women’s Health Check
At Eva IVF & Women’s Centre, we believe that a woman’s health is her greatest asset. An Annual Women’s Health Check is essential for early detection, prevention, and management of reproductive and overall health issues. Regular check-ups help women stay healthy, active, and aware of potential medical conditions before they become serious. This guide is specifically for women considering an annual health check-up. We’ll walk you through the screening tests, pre-appointment preparations, and post-checkup recommendations to ensure you receive the best care for your well-being.
What is an Annual Women’s Health Check and Who Needs It?
An Annual Women’s Health Check is a comprehensive evaluation that includes reproductive, hormonal, and general health screenings.
Who Should Get an Annual Women’s Health Check?
✔ Women of all ages (from puberty to menopause and beyond)
✔ Women with irregular menstrual cycles, heavy periods, or hormonal imbalances
✔ Women planning for pregnancy or going through menopause
✔ Women with a family history of reproductive cancers or genetic disorders
✔ Women with lifestyle risk factors (smoking, stress, obesity, poor diet)

💡 Preventative health screenings can detect early signs of disease and improve long-term health outcomes.
Step-by-Step Annual Women’s Health Check Process
1. Initial Consultation & Medical History Review
✔ Assessment of personal and family history of diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, or cancer.
✔ Evaluation of mental health, stress levels, sleep patterns, and dietary habits.
2. Recommended Screenings & Diagnostic Tests
📌 General Health Tests:
✔ Blood Sugar & HbA1c: Screens for diabetes risks.
✔ Lipid Profile: Evaluates cholesterol levels to assess heart disease risk.
✔ Thyroid Function Test (TSH, T3, T4): Detects thyroid imbalances affecting metabolism and energy levels.
✔ Vitamin D & Calcium Levels: Assesses bone health and osteoporosis risk.
📌 Reproductive & Hormonal Health Tests:
✔ Pap Smear & HPV Test (For Women Over 25): Screens for cervical cancer and HPV infections.
✔ Transvaginal Ultrasound: Checks ovarian and uterine health, detects fibroids, cysts, or PCOS.
📌 Breast & Bone Health Screenings:

📌 Sexual & Urinary Health Tests:

💡 Customizing your health check based on age, symptoms, and family history ensures a more personalized approach to women’s healthcare.
Pre-Check-Up Preparation – How to Get the Best Results?
✔ Schedule your visit during a non-menstrual period (especially for Pap smears and hormone tests).
✔ Fast for 8-10 hours before blood tests for accurate sugar and cholesterol levels.
✔ Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and smoking 24 hours before your appointment.
✔ Wear comfortable clothing for physical exams or scans.
✔ Note any symptoms, menstrual irregularities, or concerns to discuss with your doctor.
💡 A well-prepared check-up ensures accurate results and effective health planning.
Post-Check-Up Recommendations – What’s Next?
✔ If all results are normal: Continue with healthy lifestyle habits and annual check-ups.
✔ If minor abnormalities are found: Follow-up tests, lifestyle modifications, or medications may be suggested.
✔ If serious health issues are detected: A treatment plan will be developed, and referrals to specialists may be recommended.
✔ Regular follow-ups: Women with ongoing conditions like PCOS, thyroid imbalances, or high cholesterol should schedule check-ups every 6-12 months.
