Taking charge of your health begins with awareness and action. Our health screenings
for women empower you to make informed decisions about your well-being, identify
potential risks early, and take steps to mitigate them.
Heart disease is one of the leading causes of death among women globally. Contrary to
popular belief, it's not just a man's problem. Women are equally susceptible to heart
diseases, and their symptoms can differ.
Diabetes affects millions of women worldwide and can have severe consequences if left
unchecked. In Singapore, approximately one in ten (9.5%) Singaporeans aged 18 to 74
years had diabetes mellitus in 2019-2020.
Diabetes symptoms include excessive thirst, frequent urination, unexplained weight loss, and exhaustion. Lifestyle factors such as poor nutrition and a lack of exercise can raise the risk.
A woman’s health check up for diabetes includes tests for blood sugar levels andHbA1c to detect diabetes or pre-diabetes early. With timely intervention, you can manage this condition effectively.
High cholesterol levels often contribute to heart disease and stroke, making it a
significant concern for women. While genetics can play a role, diet and lifestyle choices
also influence cholesterol levels.
Women with high cholesterol may not experience obvious symptoms, making regular
check ups essential. Lifestyle Medical Clinic's health screenings include lipid profiles to
measure cholesterol levels and assess your risk. We can guide dietary changes and
lifestyle modifications to keep your cholesterol in check.
Obesity is a health concern in Singapore affecting women disproportionately. Hormonal
changes, pregnancy, and societal pressures can contribute to weight gain in women.
This physical state raises the risk of various health issues, including diabetes, heart
disease and some cancers. Our female health screenings offer body composition
analysis, helping you understand your unique profile and providing tailored
recommendations for weight management.
Stress is a part of modern life in Singapore, but chronic stress can affect women's
health. Chronic stress can lead to sleep disturbances, anxiety, and even contribute to
conditions like heart disease and depression.
Recognising the signs of stress and managing it is crucial for overall well-being.Lifestyle Medical Clinic's comprehensive female health screenings consider your mental health, offering guidance on stress management techniques and mental health support if needed.

Medical screening is important because it can help identify health conditions or diseases before they become serious or life-threatening, as most chronic diseases have very vague symptoms, such as diabetes (e.g. frequent thirst and peeing).
Medical screening can also help to identify risk factors for certain health conditions, allowing individuals to take preventive measures to reduce their risk. For example, a person with a family history of heart disease may be advised to adopt a healthy diet and exercise regimen to reduce their risk of developing the condition.
Overall, medical screening is an important tool for maintaining good health, preventing serious health conditions, and managing diseases.
The frequency of medical screenings can vary depending on several factors, including your age, gender, family history, and overall health status. The Health Promotion Board (HPB) recommends individuals aged 18 and above to screen once a year for obesity and once every two years for hypertension; individuals aged 40 and above to screen once every three years for diabetes and high cholesterol; individuals aged 50 and above to screen once a year for colorectal cancer.
This depends on several factors, including your age, gender, family history, personal medical history, lifestyle factors, individual risk factors for certain diseases, and your area of concern. Our friendly team will talk to you and recommend the most suitable package that addresses your needs.
It depends on the screening package you choose. Some packages can be all done in the clinic, some are not.
Our health screening is divided into two sessions: during the first session, you will get all the necessary tests done and during the second session you will meet up with our doctor and health coach.
The first session can take anywhere from 40-120 minutes depending on the package chosen. The second session will take about 60 minutes.
Not always – it depends on the health screening package you choose. Our team will assist accordingly.
While specifics depend on the screening package you choose; in general, you can expect a blood draw, physical exam, and lifestyle-related report. You will also expect some physical tests if you choose our lifestyle and 365 packages.
Medical screening is a traditional health screening that helps you understand your overall health better through blood tests. We will also take your weight, waist circumference, blood pressure and so on. A lifestyle screening looks beyond a traditional health screening as it also takes into consideration your diet, physical activity, mental health and sleep. Additionally, we also include an optional session with a health coach to help assist you on what to work on.
