Brief Answer: Hb%, Sugar, Papsmear, BMI, Thyroid, USG pelvis etc Detailed Answer: Hello, I have gone through your query and understand your concern. It is very good to hear that you are taking care of your wife and planned to have a regular check to stay healthy and live long happily. Her health check up should include both clinical examination and other tests like blood and urine tests. Clinical examination includes Blood pressure and breast examination to find any fibradenoma, Height and weight measurement to calculate her Body mass index. 1. Hemoglobin %- Most of the females are anemic. If she is anemic, then she should take healthy and iron rich foods 2. Blood sugar and Cholesterol levels 3. Routine Urine and stool test ( faecal occult blood test (FOBT)) 4. Pap smear to rule out any irregularities in cervix of uterus 5. Sexually transmitted infections screening by urine and swabbing from the vagina. 6. HIV test 7. Thorough pelvic and breast examination by Gynecologist. 8. Dentist consultation 9. Ophthalmologist consultation to find out any refractive errors. 10. Thyroid profile- TSH, T3, T4 11. Ultrasound abdomen and pelvis. These are all tests and examination she may need at this age. It is better to check her vaccination status and vaccinate properly. Human papillomavirus vaccine can be give at this stage. Hope this helps. Please write back for further queries. Wishing you good health.
