Well Woman
Well woman screening is a great way to regularly monitor and enhance your health, and prevent or identify potential problems at an early stage. It is an opportunity to make personal, lifestyle, relationship or emotional changes. The frequency of examinations and tests relates to your medical history, personal needs and your age.
You begin by meeting your gynaecologist. Your age, medical and family history will be assessed together with your weight and BMI, your lifestyle, happiness and stress levels.
A healthy cervix, uterus and ovaries are identified by clinical examinations, cervical smears and ultrasound scanning.
Breast health is likewise identified by a clinical examination and either mammogram or ultrasound scanning.
Bone health, looking for osteoporosis, is assessed by your medical history and a DEXA bone density scan.
Blood analysis is a core aspect of screening. This allows us to check your blood count, liver and kidney function, assess your hormones, keep an eye on cholesterol levels, and alerts us to signs of some cancers. Blood samples can also be used to check for markers of infection and to check your levels of vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids, and are part of a wide range of diagnostic tools.
