Women should undergo several key screenings, including:
- Pap Smear: Recommended every three years for women aged 21-65 to detect precancerous or cancerous cells on the cervix. - Mammogram: Advised annually for women aged 40 and above to screen for breast cancer. - HPV Testing: Often combined with Pap smears, particularly for women aged 30 and above, to detect high-risk human papillomavirus types. - STI Screening: Regular testing for sexually active women to identify infections like chlamydia, gonorrhea, and HIV.
