Female Health Check-Up (Over 40) in Turkey
An enhanced screening package designed for women over 40, mammography, bone density, cardiac assessment, cancer markers, and full blood work. All completed in a single day from £622.
After 40, your body deserves closer attention. Certain conditions become more relevant, breast health, bone density, cardiac risk, and hormonal changes all benefit from regular monitoring. This check-up is designed to cover exactly what matters for women in this age group, going beyond the basics to give you a genuinely thorough picture of your health.
In the UK, getting this level of screening would mean multiple GP visits, referrals to different departments, and weeks of waiting for results. In Turkey, everything happens in a single day at a government-licensed hospital. You arrive in the morning, and by the afternoon you have your results, a specialist consultation, and a clear written report.
A private health screening of this scope in the UK would typically cost between £1,000 and £2,000. Your all-inclusive package with us starts from just £625 including 3 nights in a 5-star hotel and all transfers.
What Is Female Check-Up (Over 40)?
This is an enhanced preventive health screening package for women over 40. It includes everything in the Under 40 package plus additional age-specific tests and screenings.
Your check-up typically includes:
- Complete blood count and comprehensive blood chemistry panel
- Thyroid function tests (TSH, T3, T4)
- Hormone panel (including FSH, oestrogen levels for perimenopause/menopause assessment)
- Iron studies and vitamin levels (B12, D, folate, calcium)
- Liver and kidney function tests
- Blood glucose, HbA1c, and insulin resistance markers
- Full lipid profile (cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, LDL)

- Mammography (breast X-ray screening)
- Bone density assessment (DEXA or ultrasound)
- Abdominal and pelvic ultrasound
- Gynaecological examination and smear test
- ECG and cardiac assessment
- Specialist consultations to review all results
All tests are completed in a single visit. Results are reviewed the same day by relevant specialists, and you receive a detailed written report in English.
Am I Suitable?
This check-up is designed for any woman over 40 who wants a comprehensive health overview. There are no eligibility requirements, this is a screening package, not a treatment.
This check-up is particularly valuable if:
- You have not had a mammogram or full health screening recently
- You are experiencing symptoms of perimenopause or menopause
- You have a family history of breast cancer, ovarian cancer, or heart disease
- You want to check bone density and calcium levels
- You want a thorough baseline assessment for comparison in future years
- You are taking HRT and want to monitor your health alongside it
You might consider a different package if:
- You are under 40 (the Under 40 package covers your age-relevant screenings)
- You have specific cardiac concerns (consider the Cardiology Check-Up)
- You want the most extensive screening available (consider the VIP or Comprehensive packages)
What Happens During the Procedure?
Your check-up is organised efficiently so everything is completed in a single, well-planned day.
Before you arrive
Our team sends you a pre-check questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, family history, and any symptoms or concerns. This allows the medical team to prioritise areas relevant to you.
On the day
You are collected from your 5-star hotel and driven to the hospital. Your personal translator accompanies you. You should arrive fasting (no food for 8-10 hours, water is fine).
The day typically runs from morning to mid-afternoon. You move through scheduled appointments: blood draws, mammography, ultrasounds, bone density assessment, ECG, and gynaecological examination. Each is conducted by qualified specialists in their respective departments.
Results and consultation
Most results are available within hours. A specialist consultant reviews all findings with you, explains everything in plain language, and discusses any areas that need attention. Particular focus is given to age-relevant concerns like breast health, bone density, cardiovascular risk, and hormonal changes.
After your check-up
You receive a comprehensive written report in English. The remaining days of your 3-night stay are yours to enjoy or combine with another treatment.
Recovery & Aftercare
There is no recovery needed. All tests are non-invasive or minimally invasive.
On the day:
- Brief discomfort during mammography (breast compression lasts only a few seconds per image)
- Small bruise possible at the blood draw site
- You may feel light-headed after fasting, this resolves with food and water
- You are free to enjoy the rest of your day after appointments are complete
After your check-up:
- Share your report with your UK GP for continuity of care
- If any findings need follow-up, our team explains the recommended next steps clearly
- No restrictions on activity, diet, or travel
Risks & Considerations
Health check-ups carry virtually no medical risk. All tests are non-invasive or minimally invasive.
Minor considerations:
- Brief discomfort during mammography (necessary for accurate imaging)
- Small bruise at the blood draw site
- Anxiety about results, specialists take time to explain findings in context
- Screening tests can occasionally produce false positives, requiring further investigation to clarify
About mammography:
- Mammography involves a very low dose of radiation, well within safe limits
- The brief compression is uncomfortable but lasts only seconds
- It remains the most effective screening tool for early breast cancer detection
All tests are conducted in a government-licensed hospital by qualified specialists using modern diagnostic equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Over 40 package includes additional screenings that are specifically relevant after the age of 40, mammography, bone density assessment, tumour markers, and a more comprehensive hormone panel. These additional tests use more expensive diagnostic equipment and require review by additional specialists. The extra cost reflects the broader scope of screening you receive.
For women over 40, an annual or biannual comprehensive health check is recommended, depending on your personal and family medical history. If you have specific risk factors, such as a family history of breast cancer or heart disease, annual screening is advisable. Many patients choose to have their check-up in Turkey every 1-2 years, combining it with a short break or another treatment.
Mammography involves brief breast compression, which can be uncomfortable but is rarely described as painful. Each compression lasts only a few seconds. The discomfort is worth it, mammography is the most effective screening tool for detecting breast changes at an early stage. If you have particularly sensitive breasts, scheduling the appointment outside your menstrual period (when breasts are less tender) can help.
Tumour markers are substances in the blood that can be elevated in the presence of certain cancers. They are used as screening tools, not as definitive diagnoses. An elevated marker does not necessarily mean cancer is present, inflammation, benign conditions, and other factors can also cause elevated levels. If a marker is raised, your specialist will explain what it means and recommend any further investigations needed to clarify.
Yes, and we strongly encourage it. Your report is provided in English and includes all test results, reference ranges, and specialist interpretations. Most UK GPs are happy to review international health reports and use them as part of your ongoing care. Having a comprehensive baseline on file is valuable for your GP, as it provides a point of comparison for future appointments.
