Introduction
Unmarried women can generally undergo routine gynecological examinations, complete blood count (CBC), breast examination, urinalysis, and liver function tests. A routine gynecological examination includes visual inspection and palpation of the external genitalia, vagina, cervix, uterus, and adnexa, providing an initial assessment of the basic condition of the reproductive organs. A CBC evaluates various blood parameters to detect conditions such as anemia, infection, or hematologic disorders.

Unmarried women can generally undergo routine gynecological examinations, complete blood count (CBC), breast examinations, urinalysis, and liver function tests as part of their health checkups.

1. Routine Gynecological Examination

This includes visual inspection and palpation of the external genitalia, vagina, cervix, uterus, and adnexa, enabling an initial assessment of the basic condition of the reproductive organs and detection of abnormalities such as inflammation or congenital malformations.

2. Complete Blood Count (CBC)

By analyzing parameters such as red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, this test helps identify conditions including anemia, infection, and hematologic disorders.

3. Breast Examination

This primarily comprises clinical breast examination (palpation) and breast ultrasound. During palpation, the physician manually examines the breasts for lumps, nodules, or other abnormalities. Breast ultrasound provides clearer visualization of internal breast structures, aiding in the diagnosis of conditions such as mammary gland hyperplasia or fibroadenoma.

4. Urinalysis

This test evaluates urine color, clarity, pH, specific gravity, and the presence of red blood cells, white blood cells, protein, glucose, and other components—helping detect urinary tract infections, kidney disease, and other related conditions.

5. Liver Function Tests

These tests measure key indicators—including alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), bilirubin, albumin, and globulin—to assess whether hepatic function is normal.

Women are advised to undergo these examinations under the guidance of a physician. Prior to testing, avoid staying up late. Maintain healthy lifestyle habits daily: prevent excessive fatigue and refrain from intense physical activity to avoid bodily discomfort.
