I’m 20 years old, and the most that makes me concerned is “Breast cancer and diabetes” I will try whatever I can to make my health healthier. Thank you for sharing this video, hope you all have a wonderful day.

This video discusses a very important topic indeed. Which is never talked about in Indian society. Even if one asks her female elders, they are not comfortable talking about all this. And I believe even immediately before marriage, a full-body health check up is something which must be there on both bride's and groom's checklist. But unfortunately families are too much engrossed in fulfilling all the other social obligations, that nobody gives a damn!

I am in my late 20s and so much wanted this video!

I would like to add thyroid profile Also should be done bcos now days 6out of 10 women hypothyroidism is detected. And it is frequently detected in pregnancy nowadays. As stress level are increasing ,it is new lifestyle disease now a days. Also Hba1c is enough to detect your blood glucose levels

[@swatisaini5221]

Yea good to know about all these tests but coming from a middle class family all these checkups or tests are not that easily possible because that's how the family or society we live in .. Even some of the doctors are not even comfortable talking about our sexual life just because we females are single . harsh truth.

[@NISHUGARVU]

That's just your family problem Not every family is like yours

[@balrama1837]

My family is also same

[@sudiptachowdhury3410]

Yes you are correct....it is very tough for the females coming from middle class family to afford these tests.

[@annipaul91]

You are absolutely correct with the doctor thing. Even I have realised the same. I would like to share 2 incidents here. Once I took one of my colleague to hospital as she was having stomach pain. She was diagnosed with overy cyst. Gynecologist was an old female. She asked her so many things including her workplace and so many other personal questions. At first I thought these questions are really needed for her treatment. But later we understood we were wrong when she started moral policing her for keeping a BF and working out of the state where her parents can't keep an eye on her. She even told her that young girls like her destroying their parents reputation etc etc. And the 2nd incident was once me and my roommate both fallen sick together and we went to a physician (male) for check up. It came out that both of us were suffering from urine infection. During check up doctor suspected that my roommate is pregnant which was true. She was not married that time though her marriage was already fix with her bf after few months. When the doctor heard she is not married, he gave a very disgust look. After 1 week I went to show him the test reports he asked me to do. First he asked If my roommate has done the pregnancy test. I said yes and it is positive. Suddenly he said, 'she is from Mumbai right? Girls like her who are from big cities does this for money you know. As you are from my place, I am warning you to stay away from these type of people".
