What to do about it

Check-ups recommended for a 32-year-old woman in Latvia

Cervical screening (HPV test)
every 5 years, ages 30–70 (HPV test)
Blood pressure check
every 3 years from 18 (every year from 40)

If a parent, brother, sister or child had:

Early heart attack or stroke in the family — cholesterol & heart-risk check
now, whatever your age — then as advised · ask your doctor
Breast or ovarian cancer in the family — risk check and genetic counselling
ask your doctor once — you may be offered earlier mammograms (often yearly from 40) or a gene test

Based on Latvian National Health Service screening and European guidelines. Your doctor may suggest more, or sooner, depending on your health. Educational, not medical advice.
