See more about ADVANCED GENERAL HEALTHCARE PACKAGE FOR WOMEN here

a. CARDIOLOGY:

Regular cardiology check are recommended especially for people who are:

• Obesity/ overweighted 
• Smoking 
• Regular drinker
• Sedentary 
• Over 40 years old

b.  H.PYLORI TESTING:

H. pylori is a common cause of ulcers and the risk of stomach cancer. Infection with H. pylori is common. About two-thirds of the world’s population has it in their bodies. For about 80% people, it doesn’t cause ulcers or any other symptoms. Only about 10-15% can have ulcers and 1-3% develop gastric cancer. 

H. pylori is usually infectious at an early age.You can get H. pylori from food, water, or utensils. It’s more common in countries or communities that lack clean water or good sewage systems. You can also pick up the bacteria through contact with the saliva or other body fluids of infected people.

• Age: The disease is most common in people over age 50, and the chance of getting colorectal cancer increases with each decade. But younger people can get it, too.
• Gender: Colorectal cancer is more common among men. Men and women are equally at risk for colon cancer, but men are more likely to develop rectal cancer.
• Polyps: These growths on the inner wall of the colon or rectum aren’t cancer, but they can be precancerous. They’re fairly common in people over age 50. One type of polyp, called an adenoma, makes colorectal cancer more likely. Adenomas are the first step toward colon and rectal cancer.
• Personal history: If you’ve already had colorectal cancer, you could get it again, especially if you had it for the first time before age 60. Also, people who have chronic inflammatory conditions of the colon, such as ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease, are more likely to develop colorectal cancer than other people.
• Family history: If you have a parent, brother, sister, or child who has had colorectal cancer, you are more likely to get it, too. If that relative was diagnosed when he or she was younger than 45 years old, your risk is even higher.
• Diet: People who eat a lot of fat and cholesterol and little fiber may be more likely to develop colorectal cancer.
• Lifestyle: You may be more likely to get colorectal cancer if you drink a lot of alcohol, smoke, don't get enough exercise, and if you are overweight.
• Diabetes: People with diabetes are more likely to develop colorectal cancer than other people.

​g. OVARIAN CANCER TUMOR MARKER: 

Ovarian cancer is one of the most common types of genital tract cancer in women. Worldwide, ovarian cancer is the second most common type of cancer of the genital tract after cervical cancer, and is also the second leading cancer of the genital tract after cervical cancer. The causes of most ovarian cancers are unknown, but the risk factors include:

• Age: ovarian cancer is most common in women over 50 and in women who have stopped menstruating (have been through menopause), and the risk increases with age.
• Family history: Some ovarian cancers are linked to gene mutations first discovered in families with lots of cases of breast cancer. Your risk also goes up if you have a family history of breast cancer, colon cancer, uterine cancer or rectal cancer.
• Reproductive history: women who have not had children or who had children over the age of 35 may be slightly more at risk.
• Lifestyle factors: smoking and being overweight. 
• Hormonal factors – including early puberty or late menopause, or using oestrogen-only hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for five years or more.
