Some medical tests are important for women on a regular basis to detect signs of diseases at an early stage. These are five important tests which women must take regularly.

1. Blood Pressure Test

Post-pregnancy, most women are known to suffer from hypertension. It is important to regularly monitor blood pressure to decrease the risk of heart disease.

2. Bone Density Test

With ageing, women tend to lose bone density at a greater speed, in comparison to men which is known as osteoporosis.

3. Mammogram

A mammogram is an important test that women should undergo to detect early signs of breast cancer.

4. Thyroid Test

Underactive or hyperactive thyroid glands lead to major health issues and can affect the menstrual cycle and fertility of a woman. So, it is important to undergo a thyroid test.

5. Pap And HPV Screenings

It is important to undergo Pap and HPV screenings between the age bracket of 20 and 30 years to identify signs of HPV virus and cervical cancer.
