女性健康必修课：20多岁女性必须做的9种检查

Busy women tend to put visits to the doctor at the end of their priorities. But when in the midst of a hectic life, making time for health check-ins is vital. Hopefully you're up to date with all of your necessary vaccinations and can just focus on making sure you're on track with these appointments.

工作繁忙的女性总不经意地忽视健康检查，但在庸庸碌碌的一生中，这正是必不可少的。我们希望你已接种过所有需要接种的疫苗，并能确保自己走在保持定期检查身体的轨道上。

Every Five Years

每五年，你需要做：

1. Physical exam: While certain studies are calling physical exams useless, the National Institute of Health still suggests getting two physical exams in your 20s and 30s. Every doctor is different when it comes to a physical, but chances are your provider will go over your history, vital signs, and blood work and perform a variety of medical screenings.

体格检查：尽管某些研究宣称体格检查无用，但美国国立卫生研究院建议20多岁和30多岁应分别做一次体格检查。每位医生做的检查项目也许略有区别，但至少你的医生会看一遍你的医疗记录、检查生命体征、血象，并做一系列摄片检查。

2. Cholesterol: Once you're 20 years old, checking your cholesterol every five years is essential. The process is fairly straightforward; after you fast for 12 hours, you go for a blood test that measures total cholesterol, LDL "bad" cholesterol, HDL "good" cholesterol, and triglycerides. Your LDL cholesterol levels should be 100 mg/dL or less, and your HDL (good) cholesterol levels should be 60 mg/dL or above.
