Most women book this for one question — cycles, weight or fertility, which Prolactin, IHC- Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Luteinising Hormone address — and leave with answers on anaemia, thyroid and vitamins too. It is the 14-component Comprehensive Full Body Checkup with CRP & RA Factor plus those three hormones, Carcino Embryonic Antigen (CEA) and CA125 - Ovarian Cancer marker. The tier above, the Comprehensive Health Checkup for Women, adds exactly three pancreatic tests and nothing else. The CRP here is qualitative — positive or negative, no figure; for a CRP value you can follow over time, the Comprehensive Full Body Checkup with CRP & RA Factor reports it quantitatively in mg/L and costs less. ## FSH, LH and Prolactin These three are the first-line panel for irregular periods, suspected PCOS and a fertility workup. FSH and LH are pituitary hormones driving the ovarian cycle: the FSH/LH ratio forms part of a PCOS assessment, LH often high relative to FSH, while a persistently high FSH points to declining ovarian reserve or the menopausal transition. Raised prolactin suppresses ovulation and is a common — and treatable — cause of irregular or absent periods. Cycle day governs interpretation. FSH and LH are drawn on day 2 to 5 — day 1 being the first day of bleeding — because the reference ranges are early-follicular, and a mid-cycle sample can show a normal LH surge that reads high against them, so tell the collection team your cycle day. A mildly high prolactin is repeated when rested. ## What CA125 and CEA can and cannot tell you Both are tumour markers — screening aids a doctor reads alongside symptoms, examination and imaging. A raised value has many non-cancerous causes; a normal one does not exclude cancer. CA125 - Ovarian Cancer marker rises in endometriosis, uterine fibroids, pelvic inflammatory disease, pregnancy and ordinary menstruation — all far commoner than ovarian cancer before 50, and the usual explanation for a raised value in a younger woman. Many early ovarian cancers never raise it, so a normal number is not reassurance: persistent bloating, pelvic pain or early satiety needs a gynaecologist and a pelvic ultrasound whatever the report says. Carcino Embryonic Antigen (CEA) follows colorectal cancer already diagnosed rather than finding it; smokers carry higher baselines, and it rises in inflammatory bowel disease, pancreatitis and cirrhosis. A normal CEA does not exclude bowel cancer — colonoscopy screens for that, and it is not here. ## Blood Picture - Peripheral Smear Examination A qualified pathologist spreads a slide, reads it under a microscope and reports Red Blood Cells, White Blood Cells, Platelets, Hemoparasites and a written Impression. It matters most for women: over 50% of Indian women aged 15–49 are anaemic (NFHS-5, 2019–21), and a CBC only says haemoglobin is low. The slide says why: small pale cells mean iron deficiency, large cells B12 or folate deficiency, sickle-shaped cells sickle cell disease. The pathologist also catches blast cells signalling possible leukaemia, clumped platelets an analyser reports as dangerously low, and, under Hemoparasites, malarial parasites inside red cells; malaria and dengue return to Delhi NCR every monsoon. Being pathologist time, it is the component most often missing at this price. ## Booking this in Delhi In Delhi households where two or three generations share an address, this gets booked for a daughter asking about her cycles and her mother asking why she is always tired — one panel, one visit, two reports. ## The Other 13 Components CBC with ESR (21): Anaemia, infection, inflammation. Iron Studies (5): Separates iron deficiency from chronic-disease anaemia; thalassemia trait needs Hb electrophoresis or HPLC. Thyroid Profile (3): Indian women are hypothyroid three times as often as men, 15.86% vs 5.02% (Unnikrishnan et al., IJEM, 2013), which itself disturbs cycles. Liver Function (12): SGOT/SGPT and GGT detect fatty liver; NAFLD affects 30–40% of urban Indian adults (Duseja et al., Indian J Gastroenterol, 2022). Kidney Function (12): Creatinine, GFR and uric acid. Lipid Profile (9): Non-HDL cholesterol predicts risk better than LDL alone (AHA/ACC, 2018). Complete Urine Analysis (17): Proteinuria, glycosuria, infection — not microalbuminuria, which needs a separate microalbumin/ACR test. Blood Glucose Fasting (1) and HbA1c (2): Under 100 mg/dL normal, 100–125 prediabetes, 126+ diabetes (ADA, 2024); 101 million Indian adults have diabetes (ICMR-INDIAB, Lancet, 2023). Anaemia distorts HbA1c — read it with the CBC. Vitamin B12 (1): 47–70% of Indians deficient (Yajnik et al., JAPI, 2006). Vitamin D (25-Hydroxy) (1): Deficiency 40% to over 90% (Ritu & Gupta, IJCM, 2014). RA Factor (1): Positive in only 70–80% of rheumatoid arthritis; a negative does not exclude it, anti-CCP being more specific. CRP (1): Qualitative — inflammation present or absent; not hs-CRP. ## Sources NFHS-5, 2019–21 · Unnikrishnan et al., IJEM, 2013;17(4):647–652 · Anjana et al., ICMR-INDIAB, Lancet Diab Endo, 2023;11(7):474–489 · Yajnik et al., JAPI, 2006;54:775–782 · Ritu & Gupta, IJCM, 2014;39(4):178–184 · ADA, 2024 · AHA/ACC, 2018 · Duseja et al., Indian J Gastroenterol, 2022 Content last reviewed: October 2026
