Check-up for women

Due to physiological characteristics, women are more prone than men to autoimmune diseases, osteoporosis, varicose veins, and pathologies of the pelvic organs and mammary glands. A specially designed check-up for women helps detect functionally significant disorders at the earliest stages.

Indications for undergoing a specialized check-up:

• Chronic diseases in medical history
• Pregnancy planning (preconception preparation), including IVF preparation
• Menopausal period (after 50 years)
• Recent infectious diseases or childbirth

Features of the procedure in global clinics

Top European clinics offer a check-up for women that includes the following procedures:

• Breast ultrasound, mammography
• Ultrasound of pelvic organs, abdominal cavity, and thyroid gland
• Gynecological smears, colposcopy (examination of the vagina and cervix using a colposcope)
• Blood tests: hormones, tumor markers, liver function tests
• X-ray and ECG

Modern colposcopes used in global gynecology allow the detection of even minor changes in the structure of the cervix, minimizing the risk of cancer development.

Additionally, oncological vigilance is raised by the presence of human papillomavirus (HPV) in the female body, which is linked to cervical cancer. Leading clinics offer a study of the urogenital scraping for 21 types of HPV, including the most oncogenic (high-risk for tumor development).
