LADIES, ARE THERE GAPS IN YOUR HEALTH ROUTINE?

Often, our health only gets our attention when it's in a poor state but,
healthcare routines are more successful from a preventative approach.

In addition to the annual preventative healthcare checks such as dental
check-ups, flu vaccinations and Personal Health Assessments, women have a few
unique, gynaecological health check-ups that are fundamentally important for
optimal health.

Three key areas to prioritise include - pap smears, cervical health, and the use
of oral contraceptives.

When last did you schedule a pap smear?

A pap smear is an important part of a woman's health routine.

One of the main reasons this screening is so important for women is the risk of
cervical cancer. For many women, symptoms aren't even present at the time of a
cervical abnormality or even cancer. Incidence rates of cervical cancer can be
traced back to an infection with HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) - in fact HPV is
the primary risk factor for the development of cervical cancer.

Here are some reasons why skipping your annual pap smear is not a good idea:

 * The procedure can help detect the presence of HPV, which is commonly
   contracted through sexual contact
 * It can help with early detection of abnormal changes at a cellular level for
   precancerous lesions
 * It can detect all types of infections that may be present, or even
   developing, at the time of the procedure
 * Women using oral contraceptives for a prolonged period can also be at
   increased risk of cervical cancer, so regular screenings should be scheduled
   (once a year)

Why the HPV vaccine is relevant as a prevention method?

The HPV vaccine is a key preventative measure, however, there are a few things
to take note of:

 * Children can receive the vaccine between the ages of 9 and 25. Two doses are
   typically required, administered 6 - 12 months apart. After the age of 15,
   three doses are recommended over a 6-month period.
 * Teens and young adults should also consider getting the vaccine before the
   age of 25. It is best to follow the guidance of your gynaecologist for how
   best to go about this safely.
   * Risk for teenage girls can reduce up to 88%
   * Risk for young adult women can reduce up to 81%
 * The vaccination is not typically recommended after the age of 25, as it has
   been shown to provide less benefit in cervical cancer prevention. Typically,
   older adults tend to already have an HPV infection from 26 years of age once
   they've become sexually active. If a woman is vaccinated by this age, her
   risk drops by about 40%.

As a Bankmed member, you can book a pap smear and HPV vaccination at any Clicks,
Dis-chem or Alpha Pharm onsite clinic here.

Additionally, Active Balance members can also earn 1,000 Balance points for
receiving their HPV vaccine, as well as 2,500 points annually for getting a pap
smear (*if aged between 25 and 65).

Do you use oral contraceptives (OCPs)?

Also known as birth control pills or the pill, OCPs are commonly used for
pregnancy prevention. There are, however, other important health-related reasons
women can use OCPs:

 * Control irregular menstrual periods
 * Reduce problems with cramps, PMS (premenstrual syndrome), PMDD (premenstrual
   dysphoric disorder) and anaemia (iron-deficiency)
 * Relieve symptoms associated with endometriosis, such as painful periods and
   menstrual cramps
 * Prevention of ovarian cysts and fibroids
 * Relieve hormonal imbalances and symptoms associated with PCOS (polycystic
   ovarian syndrome)

As a Bankmed member, you can have your monthly OCP supply delivered straight to
your door. Learn more about how to register and order your prescription pill
packs online, using our Pill Squad Programme.
