Life Stage Screening - Moving On/Grown Family
This screening package is best for you if...
You have or not raised a family and this stage of your life could be about contentment. You now have the maturity and wisdom that experience brings. You could be 35 or 50 with your family all grown up, or you may have chosen not to have children. Periods can become troublesome, maybe heavy, painful or irregular in the years leading towards menopause. Choosing the right contraception is still important throughout this time.
