Screenings are tests that look for health problems before you feel sick. They can find cancer, high blood pressure, and other conditions early – when they are easier to treat. You don’t have to wait for a lump, pain, or other symptom to get checked.
Breast cancer screenings.
Most women should talk with their provider about mammograms starting around age 40 (earlier if there is family history). A mammogram can find breast cancer years before it can be felt.
Other important screenings.
- Cervical cancer screenings (Pap tests)
- Colon cancer screenings
- Blood pressure checks
- Cholesterol and diabetes tests
Your provider can help you know which tests you need and when.
Don’t let fear or cost stop you.
