What Are The Most Common Female Health Conditions?
Did you know that women are more prone to certain diseases than men are? Some of these diseases included breast cancer, cervical cancer, and osteoporosis.
Breast cancer
Breast cancer is 100 times more common in women and one of the most common cancers among women. A leading cause of premature deaths, breast cancer can present with a painless lump in the breast or armpit, bleeding or abnormal discharge from the nipple, and retracted nipple.
Cervical cancer
Cervical cancer is a cancer unique to women and often a complication resulting from the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection. HPV is more commonly sexually transmitted but cervical cancer may only develop some 20 years after contracting HPV.
Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a disease where your bone becomes weak and brittle as it loses density. This commonly affects post-menopausal women, due to reduced estrogen in the body.
Urinary tract problems
Women are more prone to urinary tract infection because they have a short urethra of about 2-4 cm, leaving bacteria a shorter distance to travel to the bladder to cause infection.
Sexually-transmitted diseases (STD)
Women are not necessarily more prone to sexually transmitted diseases, but they can be more seriously affected. For example, HPV infections can result in cervical cancers.
What Female Health Screening Packages Do We Offer?
What Is It Like?
For the above screenings, we will assign a female nurse to carry out the specimen swab test or imaging test. During this visit, our nurses will also measure your height and weight to calculate your body mass index, and measure your blood pressure as well as other vital signs.
Once your test results are available, a female doctor will explain your results to you via a video consultation.
