Women’s health check-up items include breast ultrasound and mammography to screen for breast nodules and breast cancer; cervical cytology (Pap smear) to screen for cervical cancer; thyroid ultrasound and blood tests to assess thyroid function; gynecological vaginal examination to rule out conditions such as cervicitis and vaginitis; pelvic ultrasound (uterus and ovaries) to screen for uterine fibroids and other abnormalities; and endocrine hormone testing to measure specific levels of hormones including progesterone, estrogen, and prolactin.
