I don’t have solid answers for that because they’re constantly changing the guidelines for women’s health. One year they’ll say you need a test every year, the next they’ll say it’s every other, or you should start them later. Makes no sense.

I will say things like breast cancer and ovarian issues can come up without symptoms until SHTF and you’re stage three or later. Had a family friend pass because of that, unfortunately. She had BC but wasn’t going for exams nor checking at home, so she was very late stage by the time they found it..

If you do have problems, they basically throw the pill at you unless you see a more holistic OB/GYN. They usually understand endocrine disrupters and modern diets are a big cause of health issues, including those of the female variety.

As of now, I basically consider it like regular car maintenance. There are certain things that can happen “under the hood” that you wouldn’t be able to tell yourself until serious issues make themselves known.
