Women’s Health – Ages 40-49 Year’s Old – Recommended Health Screenings

You are here: Home1 / Women’s Health2 / Women’s Health – Ages 40-49 Year’s Old – Recommended Health Scr...

Health screenings are important for all family members of all ages, however, here at AxessPointe, we want to take a moment to focus on and educate on the importance of Women’s Health. With timely, effective and affordable health services for women of all ages, we can focus on the diagnosis and treatment of conditions that could affect a woman’s emotional and physical well-being.  The most effective way to accomplish this is with comprehensive medical exams.

COMPREHENSIVE MEDICAL EXAMS- typically include lab tests, chest x-rays, pulmonary function testing, audiograms, CAT scans, EKG’s, stress tests, vascular age tests, urinalysis, and mammograms. Most of these screening tests are age-specific and may not be needed every year. So over the next few weeks, we will break down these recommended health screenings by age-appropriate groups. 

Ages 40-49 Year’s Old – Recommended Health Screenings 

Medical History-  Your past and present family medical history can provide information that could be related to your own health. 

Focused Check-up – This includes Height and weight, it is common for most health care providers to measure this at every visit. 

Cholesterol check – Every year. 

Blood Pressure – Every 1-2 years. However, it is common for health care providers will check your blood pressure during each visit. 

Pelvic exam and Pap Test – Every three years, unless the patient has concerns and/or symptoms. 

Full-body skin check – Once a year to examine for skin lesions and/or suspicious moles and educate patients for monthly self-exams. 

Blood Sugar Test- Start at age 45, if no issues/concerns every 3 years thereafter. 

Breast Exam – Yearly by provider, monthly self-exam  

Mammograms – Start at age 40 and should be done annually. However, with certain risk factors or a family history of breast cancer, you might need to start mammograms at an earlier age. Be sure to provide medical history with your healthcare provider. 

Influenza Vaccine – Discuss with your provider. 

Pneumococcal Vaccine – Discuss with your provider. 

Tetanus-Diphtheria Booster Vaccine – Every 10 years. 

Dental – 1-2 times every year.
