If you've arrived at 30 without any serious health ailments, then you may as well be stepping into the golden years according to medical professionals. Says gynaecologist Dr Nita Dalal at Harkishandas Hospital, "All women should have an annual health check up that specifically includes a pap smear and a clinical gynaecological checkup that includes a breast check-up." Dalal adds that according to guidelines in the West, on condition that three successive gynaecological check ups turn out to be negative, women can choose to skip the check up for a year. "Most women don't get a yearly check-up done in India, especially after they have kids," adds Dalal.
