In addition to visits to a healthcare provider for injury or illness, women should see a healthcare provider for preventive screenings and checkups. Some of those recommended screenings and checkups include pap smears, mammogram screenings, STI tests, pelvic exams, and others. Of the various checkups, the recommended times you should see a healthcare provider for them depends on your age. For example, pap smears are recommended for women aged 21 and older, while mammograms are only recommended for women aged 40 and older.
