    On the Safe Side: 7 Medical Tests All Women Should Know About

    There are plenty of things we should be doing to take care of ourselves, yet somehow, there are many of us who just don't bother. Sometimes because we're simply too busy, but often it's because we're scared of the results. There are some tests that are critical and painless (or relatively so) that can detect things that, if treated relatively early on, can prolong our lives for decades. The tests are simple enough, and knowing the results is nothing short of great power. Here are eight medical tests that Yahoo Health recommends that all women should consider. Please discuss any tests with your doctor or another medical professional beforehand. - By Meredith Carroll
