The company’s new report, entitled “A Woman’s Guide to Health Screenings at Every Age,” lays out the medical risk factors for women at different stages of their lives and the precautionary checks that should be undergone to ensure their continued well-being.

The latest publication by Carecard, which includes updated CDC guidelines, emphasizes that while preventative care is critical, the timelines given need to be adjusted for each person, depending on their personal and family medical history, as well as their genetic makeup.
Despite their longer average lifespans, women are more prone than men to many diseases – such as endometriosis, osteoporosis, and osteoarthritis, among others – and also suffer menstrual health issues. Women under 50 are of reproductive age, and conditions are more likely to be related to fertility in this age range. Hot flashes, lethargy, and sleep issues affect more than 70% of postmenopausal women, which increases their reliance on drugs and lowers their quality of life. Osteoporosis cases are also rising as a result of an aging population and the growth in obesity rates.
Carecard’s guide offers recommendations for women in their 20s through their 60s. At the outset of mature adulthood, women should get HPV and Pap tests every three and five years, and these tests for cervical cancer should be continued into their 60s. Yearly screenings for STDs such as syphilis, chlamydia, and HIV are also recommended for women under 25 and those who engage in risky behavior with multiple partners.

In addition, mammograms and blood glucose/diabetes screenings should begin in women’s 40s. As the report suggests, stress, dietary changes, and alcohol usage are some of the main contributors to hormone imbalance in women – all lifestyle factors can have a significant impact on both fertility and the risk for diseases such as diabetes.
“To achieve our goal of universal access to prescription drugs, we need to keep lowering people’s out-of-pocket costs for the medications they need,” said a company spokesperson. “And to do that, we need the help of educated consumers ready to take control of their own health decisions.”
