As per Dr. Sehgal, some of the important tests that every woman should take include:
- Papanicolaou test (Pap smear) for pelvic examination to detect any change in the cervical cells that can lead to cervical cancer. Dr. Sehgal recommends a Pap smear once in three years and if an individual is HPV vaccinated, a Pap test can be taken every five years
- Mammograms after 40 years of age to examine human breasts
- Ultrasounds every year to detect any cyst, fibroid or any kind of abnormality in the uterus
- Basic tests to check for Thyroid, Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, Haemoglobin, and blood sugar level
