[quote=Anonymous]In the part of Europe where I’m from, yearly pelvic ultrasounds for women over 40 are recommended/ commonplace. Ultrasounds are a low to no risk scan and can spot cancers early. They are not foolproof - but while uterine and ovarian cancers are not common enough in women under 60 to justify universal screening - they do happen and can be silent and deadly. There’s really no contraindication for having a yearly ultrasound especially if you’ve had ivf, pcos or tamoxifen. I’m surprised at posters who are annoyed at the suggestion. [/quote]
