At Apollo 24/7, a range of women's care tests and packages are available to help women exercise good control of their health and receive timely and accurate diagnoses.
Women's care tests and packages are essential for those with a family history of gynaecological issues, who have experienced abnormal pap smears or other reproductive problems, and those at higher risk for developing certain cancers. Regular testing can help detect and prevent any issues early on, leading to better outcomes and overall reproductive health.
Tests Included in Women Care Tests and Packages:
Apollo 24/7 offers a range of women's care tests and packages to help them take proactive steps towards maintaining their well-being, detect potential health issues early, and receive prompt treatment and management.
Some common women's care tests and packages offered by Apollo 24/7 include:
- Complete Blood Count (CBC): The CBC test is a standard blood test that measures various components of the blood, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. This test helps diagnose and monitor conditions, including anaemia, infections, and inflammation.
- Ferritin: This test measures the ferritin level in the blood, indicating how much iron the body stores. Ferritin is a protein that stores iron in the body. Low ferritin levels can be a sign of iron deficiency or anaemia.
- Haemoglobin: This test measures the level of haemoglobin in the blood, indicating the body's ability to carry oxygen. Haemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. Low haemoglobin levels can be a signal of anaemia.
- Haemogram: A haemogram is a comprehensive test that includes several blood-related parameters, including red blood cell count, white blood cell count, haemoglobin, and hematocrit. This test can provide a detailed view of the blood and can help diagnose and monitor various conditions.
- Vitamin B12: This test measures the vitamin B12 level in the blood, indicating if an individual is deficient in this nutrient. Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient for producing red blood cells and adequately functioning the nervous system. Its deficiency can cause anaemia, fatigue, and other symptoms.
- Folic Acid, Serum: This test measures the level of folic acid in the blood, which can indicate if an individual is deficient in this nutrient. Folic acid is a nutrient necessary for producing red blood cells and properly functioning the nervous system. Its deficiency can cause anaemia, fatigue, and other symptoms.
- Free Beta HCG: This test measures the beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (beta-hCG) level in the blood, which can indicate if an individual is pregnant or has a risk of certain pregnancy-related complications. Free beta-hCG is a hormone produced by the placenta during pregnancy.
- Culture and Sensitivity Urine: A culture and sensitivity urine test is used to diagnose and monitor urinary tract infections. This test involves collecting a urine sample and culturing it in a lab to identify any bacteria that may be present. The bacteria are then tested against different antibiotics to determine the most effective treatment.
- Apollo Vitamin Check - Basic: The Apollo vitamin check test can help diagnose and monitor various nutrient deficiencies. This comprehensive test measures vital vitamins and minerals in the blood, including vitamin B12, vitamin D, and iron.
- Vitamin D - 25 Hydroxy (D2+D3): Vitamin D is crucial for bone health and immune system function. This test measures the level of vitamin D in the blood, which can indicate if an individual is deficient in this nutrient. Vitamin D deficiency can cause bone loss, muscle weakness, and other symptoms.
Why Women Care Tests and Packages May Be Necessary for You?
Women's health is crucial; regular check-ups are necessary to maintain a healthy reproductive system. Women's care tests and packages are designed to screen for various gynaecological conditions and ensure optimal reproductive health. Women of all ages, especially those who are sexually active, should consider taking these tests.
Common tests in women's care packages include pap smear, HPV testing, and STD screening. These tests help detect abnormalities such as cervical cancer, sexually transmitted infections, fibroids, and endometriosis. Women planning to conceive or experiencing fertility issues may benefit from hormonal tests directed at analysing the levels of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinising hormone (LH), progesterone, and estrogen levels in the blood.
Further, these tests and packages can help detect and manage various health issues in women before they become serious. Women can maintain optimal physical and mental well-being by staying informed about their health and receiving preventative care.
