The Kerala Wellness Checklist: 4 Essential Scans Women Over 40 Should Never Skip
January 22, 2026

For a woman, 40 years is a point to a new chapter of her health journey. A woman cannot do without preventive screening due to the changing hormones, life conditions, and the inevitable genetic factors, even if she feels completely well.

At Your Center Diagnostics in Calicut, Tirur, and Vadakara, we support women in identifying health problems at the very beginning through precise imaging and laboratory tests thus, what starts as a small concern never becomes a big problem.

Why Women Over 40 Need Regular Preventive Screening

First of all, there are health problems that several years can pass while it develops inside your body and you are completely ignorant of it due to the fact that it does not show you symptoms or very few of them. Slowly but surely breast cancer, osteoporosis, thyroid disorders, diabetes, and coronary diseases make their way into your body while they are still in their early stages and of which you are not yet aware.

Getting preventive scans makes it possible to detect the disease at its very early stages, thus treatment becomes easier and the cost of healthcare is significantly reduced.

The Essential Scans Every Woman Over 40 Should Prioritize

Mammography – Early Breast Cancer Detection

Breast cancer ranks as one of the major causes of cancer in women, however, if discovered at an early stage it is almost completely curable.

Mammography is a procedure that can show very small changes in the breast tissue, it can be done even before one can feel the lumps. The recommendation is that women from the age of 40 should do a mammogram at least once a year in order to have an early diagnosis and receive the necessary treatment on time.

Your Center provides a painless, confidential, and nice environment for low dose digital mammography.

Bone Densitometry (DEXA) – Protecting Bone Health

When women get older, the bone density of women gets lower, more so after menopause. Osteoporosis barely ever gives symptoms, and it is only when a fracture is caused, that one can notice the disease.

A DEXA scan is the most accurate way to measure bone strength and thus, it helps in identifying bone loss at a very early stage when the prevention of fractures can still be done. The test is free from any kind of pain, it is done quickly, and it is a must if one wants to remain mobile in the long run.

Ultrasound – Reproductive & Abdominal Health Monitoring

Ultrasound scans are instrumental in uncovering various health problems such as uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, fatty liver, kidney issues, and gallbladder problems.

Being a radiation free and non-invasive procedure, it is a perfect method for regular health check ups and gives a lot of information about the reproductive and abdominal health of women.

At Your Center, the use of cutting edge ultrasound equipment is the key to high quality images and precise reports.

Comprehensive Lab Tests – Your Health Baseline

Blood tests are at the core of preventive healthcare. They are instrumental in detecting the initial stages of diabetes, cholesterol imbalance, thyroid disorders, anemia, and other metabolic conditions.

Consistent lab tests establish a personal health record which facilitates the identification of changes over time and the ability to handle risks in advance.

Additional Preventive Screenings Women Should Consider

Hormonal & Menopause Health Assessment

When hormones are not balanced, the affected person can experience weight gain, change of mood, difficulty sleeping and irregular menstruation. Testing at the right time facilitates the handling of these changes in a more comfortable way.

Heart Health Screening for Women

Heart disease symptoms are usually different in women and, therefore, the disease may not be recognized. To be tested as a preventive measure, helps to evaluate the risk of cardiovascular disease and contributes to heart health maintenance in the long run.
