Women’s Health Screenings at Emerald Avenue Medical Clinic, Dubai Marina – JBR

Regular health screenings help detect problems before symptoms appear, enabling early intervention and better outcomes. At Emerald Avenue Medical Clinic, we offer a variety of preventative screenings for common and serious health conditions affecting women. By staying on top of your health with routine check-ups, you can ensure your body is functioning optimally and detect any changes as soon as possible.

1. Cervical Cancer Screening (Pap Smear and HPV Testing)
   • A Pap smear (or Pap test) is a screening procedure to detect abnormalities in the cervix that could lead to cervical cancer. We also offer HPV testing to check for high- risk strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV), which can cause cervical cancer.
   • Recommended starting at age 21, with regular tests every 3 years (or as advised by your gynecologist).
2. Breast Cancer Screening
   • Mammograms and breast exams are essential for detecting breast cancer in its early stages. Our clinic offers advanced 3D mammography (tomosynthesis) and clinical breast exams to assess any abnormal lumps or changes in breast tissue.
   • Women over 40 should consider having regular mammograms, with a baseline mammogram at age 35.
3. Ovarian Cancer Screening
   • Early detection of ovarian cancer is crucial, and our screening may include ultrasound or blood tests (such as the CA-125 marker) to check for abnormal signs.
   • Women with a family history or genetic predisposition to ovarian cancer should consider more frequent screenings.
4. Uterine Cancer Screening
   • Ultrasound and endometrial biopsy are used to detect abnormalities in the uterus. This screening is particularly recommended for women with risk factors such as obesity, hormone therapy, or a family history of uterine cancer.
   • Women with abnormal vaginal bleeding should also undergo uterine cancer screening.
5. Heart Health Screening
   • Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death among women. Our comprehensive heart health screening includes measuring blood pressure, cholesterol levels, glucose, and ECG to assess your risk for heart disease or stroke.
   • Early screenings help manage risk factors like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes.
6. Bone Health Screening (Osteoporosis Screening)
   • Osteoporosis is a condition that weakens bones, leading to an increased risk of fractures. Bone density tests (DEXA scans) help assess the strength of your bones, especially if you’re at risk due to age, low calcium intake, or menopause.
   • Women over the age of 65, or younger women with risk factors, should consider regular bone health screenings.
7. Diabetes Screening
   • Diabetes affects many women and can lead to complications such as heart disease, kidney damage, and nerve damage. We offer blood tests to check your blood sugar levels and assess your risk of diabetes.
   • Women with a family history of diabetes, obesity, or who are pregnant (gestational diabetes) should have regular screenings.
8. Thyroid Health Screening
   • Thyroid disorders are common among women and can affect metabolism, mood, energy levels, and weight. A simple blood test to check TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) can help detect thyroid problems.
   • If you’re experiencing unexplained fatigue, weight changes, or mood swings, thyroid testing is important.
9. Colorectal Cancer Screening
   • Colorectal cancer screening is vital for women, particularly after the age of 50. Colonoscopy and fecal occult blood tests (FOBT) are used to detect any signs of colon polyps or cancer.
   • Women with a family history of colorectal cancer or other risk factors should begin screenings earlier.
10. Skin Cancer Screening
    • Skin cancer is one of the most common cancers in women. Our dermatologists conduct thorough skin exams to check for abnormal moles or skin changes that may indicate melanoma or other skin cancers.
    • Regular self-examinations and professional screenings are crucial for early detection.

• Early Detection: Many conditions, such as cancer or heart disease, can be treated more effectively when detected early.
• Personalized Care: We customize your screening schedule based on your age, family history, lifestyle, and health conditions.
