Tests included (0)

Curated by Dr Swarnakumari, Apollo Women's Health - Basic comprises CBC, random blood sugar, and TSH tests. These tests can facilitate the diagnosis of most gynaecological conditions in women. The package is recommended for every woman aged 18 years and above.

For women, it is important to opt for regular diagnostic evaluations to prevent any gynaecology health conditions. Health experts suggest that females should undergo a women’s basic health profile to get an overview of the following main parameters:

• Blood panel
• Sugar level
• Thyroid-stimulating hormone

A female panel blood test checks various facets of your blood components. The reports offer in-depth insights into the level of red blood cells (RBCs), haemoglobin, leucocyte count, etc. It also covers the measurement of blood glucose levels. As a result, physicians can assess the possibility of diabetes and recommend appropriate treatment. A basic female test panel is suitable for women who do not have major health complications or symptoms. This profile includes a simple blood test that helps you understand your overall fitness and well-being.

The Apollo women’s health basic test package is one such option that you can avail to get an assessment of your overall health and wellbeing. The package includes 30 parameters that focus on — blood, diabetes, and thyroid.

Take a look at our women’s basic health profile at a glance:

• Blood studies: The complete blood count (CBC) analysis helps detect conditions like anaemia. It comprises 28 sub-tests that provide levels of components like haemoglobin, packed-cell volume (PCV), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), and different leucocyte counts
• Diabetes basic test: This segment includes a random glucose test that helps detect your blood sugar level at any time. Notably, you do not need to fast before this testing as it is ‘random’.
• Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH): The third category of testing in our Apollo women’s health basic test helps diagnose any potential thyroid problem. These diseases are more common in women. So, the inclusion of this evaluation helps determine your current health status profoundly.

A basic female test panel eliminates the requirement of undergoing separate medical assessments. You need to provide your blood sample only once, as per the healthcare expert’s recommendation.

The testing procedure is simple. A technician inserts a sterilised needle in a vein on your arm. Next, the collected blood sample undergoes detailed evaluation in the pathology lab. During the venepuncture process, you can experience the following side effects:

• Anxiety or nausea
• A short prickling sensation
• Pain during blood removal
• Hematoma (quite uncommon)

The choice of your pathology partner is crucial to undergo a safe female panel blood test. An experienced and reputed healthcare provider uses the latest equipment and follows all safety protocols. In addition, such labs have adept technicians that minimise the possibility of mishaps.

Frequently asked questions

What should be the glucose random test result in the women’s basic health profile?

In a random glucose test, most labs measure the blood sugar level in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL). A reading of above 200 mg/dL indicates the probability of you having diabetes. So, the physician can suggest auxiliary tests like fasting glucose or A1C testing to understand the exact state of diabetes.

How often should I undergo the Apollo women’s health basic test?

In most cases, experts suggest undergoing a women’s basic health profile at least once a year. This frequency should increase if you are pregnant. The evaluation of your blood sugar levels, thyroid hormone, cholesterol, and blood pressure is crucial. Such information helps maintain good health and prevent potential diseases.

Which diseases impact the thyroid stimulating hormone levels?

Conditions like Goitre, Grave’s disease, Thyroiditis, Hashimoto’s disease, etc., are associated with abnormal TSH levels. A basic female test panel from a reputed healthcare provider measures this hormone’s range and offers insights into the gland’s functioning. So, undergo such critical assessments to plan suitable treatment.

How does a CBC test help physicians in healthcare assessment?

CBC testing is helpful in diagnosing conditions like autoimmune, bone marrow disorders, infections, and sickle cell diseases and detect nutritional deficiencies. It is also helpful to measure the values of haemoglobin and evaluate your overall health status.

What are the normal CBC ranges for women?

The reference ranges for different blood components vary. For instance, the white blood cell normal range is 4,500 to 11,000 cells per microlitre. The haemoglobin count normal range is 12.3 to 15.3 grams per decilitre. To acquire such detailed results, undergo the female panel blood test from a reputed pathology lab.
