Premium Health Check Plan (98 items)

What age should I do a regular full-body check-up? 

It is recommended that adults aged 18 or above should undergo a regular health screening every year to detect potential health disorders or hidden illnesses. High risk groups and elderly should have their physical examinations every six months as it can be difficult to diagnose diseases in the early stages. 

Behavioural risk factors such as smoking, alcohol consumption, lack of sleep and exercise are also attributed to poor health, a comprehensive health screening can be conducted to acquire a full understanding of your physical condition. Individuals who had family history with serious illnesses like cancer or heart disease, should undergo appropriate health checks according to their needs. Starting around age 20, women should get a gynaecological check-up regularly for a better understanding of their health conditions. 

Some gynaecological illnesses have no early symptoms, such as cervical cancer, breast cancer, ovarian tumors/ fibroids, sexually-transmitted diseases and osteoporosis which is more common in older women. We offer a wide range of gynaecological screening programmes, including cervical smear, AMH, calcium, hormones test, sonography of breast and uterine cavity, mammography, CA15.3 breast and CA125 ovarian tumor marker etc., which are administered by reliable professionals through our one-stop service.

What is AMH? How does it differ from other predictors in assessing ovarian function?

 

Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) testing is a key predictor used to evaluate the competency of ovarian function by blood sampling.

AMH level dwindles steadily as ovarian function declines with age. Therefore, of all the methods used to detect ovarian function, the AMH value is the earliest to screen for ovarian failure. AMH level is not affected by the menstrual cycle, and thus the concentration of blood drawn at any time is equally stable. Young women can reveal premature ovarian failure by AMH screening, thereby enabling prompt treatment to better prepare for marriage and childbirth.
