new healthcare guidelines for women
being a woman just got easier! medical officials are saying
- women no longer need to do self breast exams at home
- women can start getting mammograms at age 50, instead of the previously set guideline of 40
- women can now wait until age 21 to get her first pap test.
- once you’ve had 3 normal tests in a row, you only need to get one once every 2 years when you’re in your twenties or once every 3 years when you’re in your thirties instead of the yearly as recommended before. x-posted from http://www.prach.org/blog
