"I check my ovaries once a year, this is a necessity. As for breasts, there is no need to do an exam every year," said the 44-year-old actress.

Hsuan revealed that her breast examination used to be conducted every three years.

Even on hiatus, the actress undergoes an upper body examination two to three times annually and a lower body checkup once a year. Jessica Hsuan verbalizes that this cycle of checkups will eventually increase in frequency because she is getting older.

Hsuan's main priority is her health as she felt that not a lot of people  are aware of potential health problems without displaying symptoms.

Jessica Hsuan hopes to attend more "health awareness" events during her showbiz hiatus to create an advocacy to save lives and prevent morbidity among women. Her purpose of advocacy stemmed from her various life experiences that helped her realize that an early detection is better than a long term cure.

Hsuan expressed that it is quite hard to lose weight at her age. The actress revealed that she accepted a TV commercial project last year and she was 117 pounds. Jessica Hsuan felt that she could lose more weight if she wanted to through diet and exercise.

However, the actress did not want to put herself at risk through dehydration.

As a beauty product representative, the British-Chinese actress is open to maintaining her beauty through Botox.

"I don't feel that I need it now, but never say never," said Jessica Hsuan.

The actress further added that she may need the procedure ten years from now but the definite decision is still uncertain. As of now, Jessica Hsuan, who is still on hiatus, still chooses exercise as her main beauty regimen as of the moment.
