About this Procedure

There are specific times when you should see your provider. Below are screening guidelines for women ages 18 - 39.

  • Have your blood pressure checked every 2 years. If the top number (systolic number) is between 120 - 139, or the bottom number (diastolic number) is between 80 - 89 mm Hg, you should have it checked every year.
  • Watch for blood pressure screenings in your area. Ask your provider if you can stop in to have your blood pressure checked. Or check your blood pressure using the automated machines at local grocery stores and pharmacies.
  • If the top number is greater than 140 or the bottom number is greater than 90, schedule an appointment with your provider.
  • If you have diabetes, heart disease, kidney problems, or certain other conditions, you may need to have your blood pressure checked more often.
  • If you are between ages 20 - 45, you should be screened if you have a higher risk for heart disease. In healthy women, screening will begin at age 45.
  • If you have diabetes, heart disease, kidney problems, or certain other conditions, you may need to be monitored more closely.
  • If your blood pressure is above 135/80 mm Hg, your provider will test your blood sugar level for diabetes.
  • If you have a body mass index (BMI) greater than 25 and have other risk factors for diabetes, you should be screened. Having a BMI over 25 means that you are overweight.
  • Go to the dentist every year for an exam and cleaning.
  • If you have vision problems, have an eye exam every 2 years.
  • You should get a flu shot every year.
  • After age 19, you should have one tetanus-diphtheria and acellular pertussis (TdAP) vaccine as one of your tetanus-diphtheria vaccines. You should have a tetanus-diphtheria booster every 10 years.
  • You should receive 2 doses of varicella vaccine if you were born after 1980 and never had chickenpox or the varicella vaccine.
  • Your provider may recommend other immunizations if you are at high risk for certain conditions, such as pneumonia.
  • Not received the HPV vaccine in the past (you will need all 3 shots)
  • Not completed the full vaccine series (you should catch up on this shot)
  • You should have 2 physical exams in your 20s and 30s.
  • Healthy young people do not need usually need blood tests.
  • Your height, weight, and BMI should be checked at every exam.
  • Depression
  • Diet and exercise
  • Alcohol and tobacco use
  • Safety issues, such as using seat belts and smoke detectors
  • The American Cancer Society (ACS) states that monthly breast self-exam is optional. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends against teaching women how to perform breast self-exam.
  • Screening mammogram is not recommended for most women under age 40.
  • If you have a mother or sister who had breast cancer at a younger age, or you have other risk factors for breast cancer, your provider may recommend a mammogram, breast ultrasound, or MRI scan.
  • Contact your provider right away if you notice a change in your breasts, whether or not you do breast self-exams.
  • If you are between ages 20 - 40, your provider may do a complete breast exam every 3 years.
  • Beginning at age 21, women should have a pelvic exam and Pap smear every 3 years to check for cervical cancer.
  • If you are over age 30 or your Pap smear and HPV test are normal, you only need a Pap smear every 5 years.
  • If you have had your uterus and cervix removed (total hysterectomy), you do not need to have Pap smears.
  • Women who are sexually active should be screened for chlamydia infection up until age 25. Women 26 years and older should be screened if at high risk. This can be done during a pelvic exam.
  • Your provider will tell you how to prevent infections spread through sexual contact. These are called sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
  • Your provider will ask you questions about alcohol and tobacco and may ask you about depression.
  • The ACS recommends a skin exam as part of a periodic exam by your provider, if it is indicated.
  • The USPSTF does not recommend for or against performing a skin self-exam.
