What tests do you need in your 20s and 30s?
Mentone General Practice
Solutions, information, peace of mind.
Test 1. STD check
Some Sexually Transmitted Infections such as Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, Gonorrhea may be present without any symptoms.
The person may be spreading those STIs without knowing.
Not having symptoms does not stop a person from spreading STIs to others.
Test 2 Skin check
Skin cancer checks are recommended based on personal circumstances, as factors such as a family history of skin cancer, fair skin or freckles will put you at higher risk than others. This check can be done either by your GP or a dermatologist, and involves a head-to-toe visual check using a torch and a magnifying glass.
Test 3. Cervical screening test
Women used to get pap smears every two years from about the age of 18 but in 2017 the pap smear test was replaced with a new national screening program that tests women every five years from the age of 25.
Test 4. Dental check up.
Test 5 Blood pressure check
Doctors keep an eye out for high blood pressure as it can be a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, and blood pressure should be checked roughly every two years.
Be positive, rest assured that you
will not be judged.
