FSH and LH have to be drawn on day 2 to 5 of your cycle, counting the first day of bleeding as day 1, because the reference ranges are early-follicular. That window is two or three days wide and it opens only when your period starts — so it cannot be booked in advance. A rotating shift roster is the opposite: fixed weeks ahead and not swappable at two days' notice. Neither calendar bends for the other, and an early shift start also removes the rested morning in which prolactin is best measured. What works is a home visit the morning after you ring, timed before you leave, or your weekly off where cycle day allows. The package adds Prolactin, IHC- Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Luteinising Hormone, Carcino Embryonic Antigen (CEA) and CA125 - Ovarian Cancer marker to a 19-component screen: CBC with ESR, Blood Picture - Peripheral Smear Examination read by a qualified pathologist, Liver and Kidney Function Test with uric acid, a 9-marker Lipid Profile, Complete Urine Analysis, Blood Glucose Fasting, HbA1c, Thyroid Profile, Iron Studies, Vitamin D (25-Hydroxy), Vitamin B12, RA Factor and CRP. 96 parameters, one draw. CA125 and CEA are screening aids a doctor reads alongside symptoms, examination and imaging: a raised value has many non-cancerous causes, and a normal value does not exclude cancer. NABL-accredited laboratory, reports in 24 hours. From 1999. Free home collection across Sector 15A, 16A, 21, 21D, 75, 78, 81, 85, 88, Neharpar, Greater Faridabad and Sainik Colony.

What Does This Package Screen For?

At a Glance

Package: Advanced Full Body Checkup for Women. Tests: 96 parameters, 19 components. Price: From 1999. Fasting: 10 hours. Sample: Blood and urine, single draw. Reports: 24 hours, digital. Home collection: Free across Faridabad. Lab: NABL-accredited. This is the 14-component Comprehensive Full Body Checkup with CRP & RA Factor plus five women's tests: Prolactin, IHC- Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Luteinising Hormone, Carcino Embryonic Antigen (CEA) and CA125 - Ovarian Cancer marker. The tier above adds only three pancreatic tests. The CRP is qualitative, not a trackable figure in mg/L. ## Two Calendars That Do Not Negotiate FSH, LH and Prolactin are the first-line panel for irregular periods, suspected PCOS and 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. Raised prolactin suppresses ovulation, a common and treatable cause of absent periods. Two schedules must line up and neither bends. 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 — a window two or three days wide that opens only when your period starts. A rotating shift roster is fixed weeks ahead and cannot be swapped at two days' notice, and prolactin is best measured rested in the morning, which an early shift start removes. What works: a home visit the morning after you ring, before you leave for the shift, or your weekly off where cycle day allows. If the window is unreachable this cycle, still give the sample and state the cycle day — FSH and LH stay interpretable with the day attached, which beats a test that waits a month. A mildly raised prolactin is repeated after rest; stress, a breast examination and some medicines also raise it. ## What CA125 and CEA Can and Cannot Tell You Both are tumour markers: screening aids a doctor interprets 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. Many early ovarian cancers never raise it, so a normal figure is not reassurance: persistent bloating or pelvic pain needs a gynaecologist and an ultrasound regardless. Carcino Embryonic Antigen (CEA) follows colorectal cancer already diagnosed rather than finding it. Smokers carry higher baselines; it also rises in bowel inflammation, pancreatitis and cirrhosis. A normal CEA does not exclude bowel cancer — colonoscopy screens for that, and is not here. ## Blood Picture - Peripheral Smear Examination The finding to understand here is Platelets. A low platelet count is itself a cause of heavy menstrual bleeding, so it changes the direction of a workup — which makes it the worst number on this report to get wrong. Analysers get it wrong routinely: platelets clump in the tube and the counter reads a clump as one cell, returning a count that looks alarmingly low in a woman whose platelets are normal. Only a pathologist reading the slide tells the two apart. A qualified pathologist prepares the slide by hand and reads it under a microscope, reporting Red Blood Cells, White Blood Cells, Platelets, Hemoparasites and a written Impression. Skilled manual time rather than analyser time is why it is the first line cut from a package built to a price. The red cells matter too: over 50% of Indian women aged 15-49 are anaemic (NFHS-5, 2019-21), and a CBC says only that haemoglobin is low. Small pale cells mean iron deficiency, large cells B12 or folate deficiency, sickle-shaped cells sickle cell disease. The pathologist also sees blast cells that may indicate leukaemia, and under Hemoparasites looks for malarial parasites, endemic alongside dengue across Delhi NCR. ## The Other 13 Components CBC with ESR (21): Anaemia and infection. Iron Studies (5): Iron deficiency versus 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% against 5.02% (Unnikrishnan et al., IJEM, 2013;17(4):647-652). Liver Function Test (12): NAFLD affects 30-40% of urban Indian adults (Duseja et al., 2022). Kidney Function Test (12): Creatinine, GFR and uric acid; the first and last read higher transiently after heavy physical work. Lipid Profile (9): Non-HDL beats LDL alone (AHA/ACC, 2018). Complete Urine Analysis (17): Not microalbuminuria, which needs a separate ACR test. Blood Glucose Fasting (1) and HbA1c (2): 100-125 mg/dL prediabetes, 126+ diabetes (ADA, 2024); anaemia distorts HbA1c, so read with the CBC. Vitamin B12 (1): 47-70% of Indians deficient (Yajnik et al., JAPI, 2006;54:775-782). Vitamin D (25-Hydroxy) (1): Deficiency 40% to over 90% (Ritu & Gupta, IJCM, 2014;39(4):178-184). RA Factor (1): Qualitative; positive in only 70-80% of rheumatoid arthritis, a negative does not exclude it, anti-CCP being more specific. CRP (1): Qualitative, not hs-CRP. ## Sources NFHS-5, 2019-21 · Unnikrishnan et al., IJEM, 2013;17(4):647-652 · 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

Who Should Get This Checkup?

  • Women on a rotating shift roster who need a cycle-timed sample – FSH and LH are read against early-follicular reference ranges, so the sample is due on day 2 to 5 of your cycle — a window that opens only once bleeding starts and cannot be booked ahead. A roster set weeks in advance cannot be rearranged at two days' notice, and an early start also removes the rested morning prolactin prefers. A home visit the morning after you ring, before you leave for the shift, is what makes the timing possible; where cycle day allows, your weekly off works too.
  • Women with heavy periods whose platelet count needs to be right – A low platelet count is itself one of the causes of heavy menstrual bleeding, which makes it a result worth getting right — and it is the one analysers most often get wrong, because platelets clump in the tube and the counter reads a clump as a single cell. The Blood Picture - Peripheral Smear Examination is a pathologist looking at the slide, which is how a genuinely low count is told apart from an artefact before a workup heads in the wrong direction.
  • Women whose periods have become irregular, or stopped – IHC- Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Luteinising Hormone and Prolactin are the first blood tests ordered here. The FSH/LH ratio feeds a PCOS assessment, a persistently high FSH suggests declining ovarian reserve, and raised prolactin is a common cause that responds to medication. Thyroid disease causes the same symptom and is measured in the same draw — Indian women are hypothyroid about three times as often as men, 15.86% against 5.02% (Unnikrishnan et al., IJEM, 2013;17(4):647-652).
  • Women who are tired all the time and bleed heavily – Heavy menstrual bleeding is the commonest route to iron-deficiency anaemia in Indian women, and over 50% of women aged 15 to 49 are anaemic (NFHS-5, 2019-21). The CBC, Iron Studies and the Peripheral Smear together establish whether anaemia is present, whether iron is the cause, and what the red cells look like under a microscope. Thyroid, vitamin B12 and vitamin D are covered in the same sample, and every one of them produces the same tiredness.
  • Women past 35, or with ovarian or breast cancer in the family – CA125 - Ovarian Cancer marker is included, and what it does is worth knowing precisely. It is a screening aid a doctor reads alongside symptoms, examination and imaging: it rises in endometriosis, fibroids, pelvic inflammatory disease, pregnancy and ordinary menstruation, and many early ovarian cancers never raise it, so a normal number is not reassurance. A family history is a reason to discuss surveillance and genetic counselling with a gynaecologist, which no blood panel replaces.
  • Older women in the established NIT sectors and Old Faridabad – In a settled older population an annual screen is realistically how most of this gets measured at all. A persistently high FSH with irregular cycles fits the menopausal transition, and from that stage the Lipid Profile, fasting glucose and HbA1c matter more (ADA Standards of Care in Diabetes, 2024). India has 101 million adults living with diabetes (Anjana et al., ICMR-INDIAB, Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology, 2023;11(7):474-489). Bone density needs a DEXA scan, which is imaging and in no blood package.

How to Prepare

Cycle day — plan this first. Aim for day 2 to 5, counting the first day of bleeding as day 1. FSH and LH are read against early-follicular reference ranges, and a mid-cycle sample can show a normal LH surge that looks high. Because the window opens only when your period starts, it cannot be reserved in advance — ring on day 1 and ask for a home visit the next morning. If your periods are irregular or absent, book any day and say so; your doctor will interpret in that context. If you work a shift roster: the cycle-day window and the roster will not always coincide, and the roster is the one that cannot move. Two things help. A home collection slot can be set before you leave for an early shift, which also suits prolactin, since prolactin is highest during sleep and falls through the waking hours — a rested sample before the day begins is better than one taken after a shift. And where cycle day permits, book on your weekly off, which makes the 10-hour fast easier too. If neither is possible this cycle, give the sample anyway and state the cycle day. Fasting: 10 hours, counted from your last food rather than from midnight. Needed for the Lipid Profile and Blood Glucose Fasting; the hormones and tumour markers do not require it. Plain water is allowed and helps — a hydrated vein is an easier draw, and dehydration pushes uric acid and creatinine up. No tea, coffee, juice or milk. Before a prolactin test: no breast or nipple stimulation and no breast examination in the previous 24 hours. Sit quietly for 15 to 20 minutes before the draw. Stress, sleep deprivation and several medicines, including some antipsychotics, antiemetics and acid-reducing drugs, raise prolactin, so list what you take. If your work is physically demanding: creatinine and uric acid read higher for a day or two after heavy effort, and hard activity also raises CRP. Where you cannot avoid exertion, book after a rest day and have the nature of the work recorded with the sample. Medications: continue prescription medicines unless your doctor says otherwise. Stop biotin supplements 48 hours before; biotin interferes with thyroid and hormone assays. Declare hormonal contraception, fertility medication and hormone replacement therapy, all of which change FSH, LH and prolactin. Alcohol: none for 48 hours. Pregnancy: CA125 is raised in pregnancy — if you are pregnant or might be, say so at booking. Home collection: free across Faridabad — Sector 15A, 16A, 21, 21D, 75, 78, 81, 85, 88, Neharpar, Greater Faridabad and Sainik Colony, with the rest of the city on request. Reports: digital within 24 hours, all 96 parameters with reference ranges and flagged abnormals.

What Is Included — and What Is Not

Included: 96 parameters, 19 components 8 profiles: Complete Blood Count (CBC) with ESR (21), Complete Urine Analysis (17), Liver Function Test (12), Kidney Function Test (12), Lipid Profile (9), Blood Picture - Peripheral Smear Examination (5), Iron Studies with Serum Iron, TIBC, UIBC, Transferrin and % Saturation (5), Thyroid Profile with TT3, TT4 and TSH (3). 11 individual tests: HbA1c with average blood glucose (2), Blood Glucose Fasting (1), Vitamin B12 (1), Vitamin D (25-Hydroxy) (1), RA Factor (1), CRP qualitative (1), Prolactin (1), IHC- Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) (1), Luteinising Hormone (1), Carcino Embryonic Antigen (CEA) (1), CA125 - Ovarian Cancer marker (1). Sample: Blood and urine, single draw. Fasting: 10 hours. Reports: 24 hours. Gender: Female. Home collection: Free across Faridabad. ## Not included The CRP here is qualitative, so there is no number to follow across repeat tests — the Comprehensive Full Body Checkup with CRP & RA Factor reports one in mg/L and costs less. The RA Factor is reported qualitatively as well. Also absent: Amylase - Serum, Lipase - Serum and CA19.9 - Pancreatic Cancer Marker, the three pancreatic tests the Comprehensive Health Checkup for Women adds; Estradiol, AMH, testosterone, DHEAS and 17-OH progesterone, which a gynaecologist may add in a PCOS or fertility workup; a pelvic ultrasound, which is how PCOS and ovarian masses are actually assessed; beta-hCG for pregnancy; hs-CRP for cardiac risk; anti-CCP for rheumatoid arthritis; urine microalbumin or albumin-creatinine ratio for early diabetic kidney damage; haemoglobin electrophoresis or HPLC for thalassemia trait; ferritin; a Pap smear or HPV test for cervical screening; a mammogram or any breast imaging; a DEXA scan for bone density; colonoscopy, which is what screens for bowel cancer; dengue, malaria and chikungunya tests; and all other imaging. A tumour marker here is a screening aid. CA125 and CEA cannot confirm or rule out cancer by themselves — that takes a doctor's assessment and usually imaging, which no blood test replaces. ## One thing this package does not do It does not assess your workplace. Nothing among the 96 parameters measures occupational or chemical exposure, and no result should be read that way. What physically demanding work changes is interpretation — creatinine, uric acid and CRP all read higher for a day or two after heavy effort — and what a shift roster changes is logistics, because the cycle-day window for FSH and LH and the rested morning for prolactin both have to be reached around it. ## Where to go from here For a trackable CRP figure, the Comprehensive Full Body Checkup with CRP & RA Factor at 91 parameters, open to all genders. For a pancreatic reason to test, the Comprehensive Health Checkup for Women at 99, which is this package plus Amylase, Lipase and CA19.9. For a man in the household, the Advanced Full Body Checkup for Men at 94 carries Testosterone Total and PSA in place of the female hormones and CA125.

I work a shift roster. How do I hit the day 2 to 5 window for FSH and LH?

This is the practical problem on this page, and it comes from two schedules that will not bend for each other. FSH and LH are read against early-follicular reference ranges, so the sample is due on day 2 to 5 of your cycle — a window that opens only once bleeding starts, so it cannot be booked ahead. A roster fixed weeks in advance cannot be swapped at two days' notice. Two things work: ring on day 1 and have a phlebotomist come the next morning, timed before you leave for the shift, or book on your weekly off where the cycle day allows. If neither is possible this cycle, give the sample anyway and state the cycle day — FSH and LH stay interpretable with the day attached.

My shift starts early, so I cannot give a rested morning sample. Does that matter for prolactin?

It matters, and it is worth planning around rather than ignoring. Prolactin is highest during sleep and falls through the waking hours, so the value the reference range assumes is a rested one taken early, before much activity. A sample taken at the end of a shift is not that. The workable answer is a home collection slot before you leave for work, which is earlier than any collection centre opens. Tell the collection team when you last slept and for how long. A mildly raised prolactin is normally repeated under rested conditions before anything is concluded from it.

Which day of my cycle should I book for?

Day 2 to 5, counting the first day of bleeding as day 1. The reference ranges used for FSH and LH are early-follicular ones, so a sample drawn mid-cycle can show an LH surge that is entirely normal yet reads as high against them. Tell the phlebotomist your cycle day so it reaches the laboratory on the requisition. If your periods are irregular or absent, book any day and say so — your gynaecologist will read the result in that context.

What do FSH, LH and Prolactin actually tell me?

Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Luteinising Hormone (LH) are released by the pituitary gland and drive the ovarian cycle; Prolactin is the hormone of lactation, which suppresses ovulation when it is raised. Together they are the standard first-line panel for irregular or absent periods, suspected PCOS and the start of a fertility workup. The FSH/LH ratio contributes to a PCOS assessment, with LH often high relative to FSH, while a persistently high FSH points instead towards declining ovarian reserve or the menopausal transition.

Can a raised Prolactin be treated?

Usually, yes, and that is a large part of why it is measured. Raised prolactin suppresses ovulation and is a common cause of irregular or absent periods, sometimes with milky nipple discharge. It is also pushed up by things that are not disease: stress, disrupted or shortened sleep, a recent breast examination or nipple stimulation, and several medicines including some antipsychotics, antiemetics and acid-reducing drugs. A mildly high value is normally repeated under rested conditions. A persistently high one is investigated for a pituitary cause and often responds to tablets.

Does a raised CA125 mean I have ovarian cancer?

No. CA125 is a screening aid a doctor interprets alongside symptoms, examination and imaging, not a diagnosis, and in women without symptoms it has a meaningful false-positive rate. It rises in endometriosis, uterine fibroids, pelvic inflammatory disease, pregnancy and ordinary menstruation, all far more common than ovarian cancer in women under 50. Many early-stage ovarian cancers do not raise CA125 at all, so a normal result is not reassurance by itself. Persistent bloating, pelvic pain, early satiety or a change in bowel habit needs a gynaecologist and a pelvic ultrasound whatever the number says.

What does the CEA test detect?

Carcino Embryonic Antigen (CEA) is a protein used mainly to monitor colorectal cancer that has already been diagnosed, rather than to find it in people without symptoms. Smokers run higher baseline levels as a rule, and CEA also rises in inflammatory bowel disease, pancreatitis, cirrhosis and chronic lung disease. A normal CEA does not exclude bowel cancer. Colonoscopy, or a faecal immunochemical test, is what screens for colorectal cancer, and neither is part of this package. A doctor interprets the figure alongside symptoms and imaging.

Why does the Platelets finding on the Peripheral Smear matter if I have heavy periods?

Because a genuinely low platelet count is itself one of the causes of heavy menstrual bleeding, so it changes where a workup goes next — and it is the result an automated analyser most often gets wrong. Platelets clump together in the collection tube, and a counter reads a clump as a single cell, returning a count that looks alarmingly low in a woman whose platelets are entirely normal. Only a qualified pathologist looking at the slide can tell a real low count from clumping. That is what the Blood Picture - Peripheral Smear Examination adds to the platelet number in your CBC.

What is the Blood Picture - Peripheral Smear Examination and why does it matter for women?

It is a manual microscopic examination of your blood. A qualified pathologist prepares a slide by hand, reads it under a microscope and reports five findings: Red Blood Cells, White Blood Cells, Platelets, Hemoparasites and a written Impression. It matters particularly for women because over 50% of Indian women aged 15 to 49 are anaemic (NFHS-5, 2019-21), and a CBC alone says only that haemoglobin is low. Small pale cells mean iron deficiency, large cells B12 or folate deficiency, sickle-shaped cells sickle cell disease. It also detects blast cells that may indicate leukaemia and malarial parasites inside red cells.

Do cheaper health checkup packages include a Peripheral Smear?

Most do not. It is the only component here that no analyser can produce: a qualified pathologist has to prepare and read each slide individually, which is skilled manual time rather than machine time, so it is the usual line item cut to hold a price point. Across Delhi NCR the Hemoparasites finding is a further practical argument for keeping it, since dengue and malaria are endemic and the slide is examined directly for parasites inside red blood cells. When weighing packages at similar parameter counts, look for a Blood Picture or Peripheral Smear profile by name.

Is the CRP in this package a number or just positive and negative?

Positive or negative. The CRP here is qualitative: it indicates whether inflammation is present and gives no value in mg/L, so it cannot be compared across repeat tests to show whether inflammation is rising or settling. The RA Factor is reported qualitatively too. If your doctor wants a trackable CRP value, the Comprehensive Full Body Checkup with CRP & RA Factor reports CRP quantitatively in mg/L and costs less than this package. Neither is hs-CRP, the high-sensitivity assay used for cardiovascular risk.

Does physically demanding work change any of these results?

Three of them. Creatinine is a breakdown product of muscle metabolism, uric acid rises with cell turnover and dehydration, and CRP rises because heavy muscular work stresses tissue. All three read higher for a day or two after hard exertion, which is why the standard instruction is to avoid strenuous activity for 24 hours before a blood test. If that is not possible, book after a rest day, drink water normally the day before, and have the work recorded with the sample. The hormones, tumour markers, thyroid, iron and both vitamins are unaffected. No test here measures occupational or chemical exposure of any kind.

What does the Comprehensive Health Checkup for Women add over this one?

Exactly three tests, all pancreatic. The Comprehensive Health Checkup for Women holds everything here — all 96 parameters, hormones and tumour markers included — plus Amylase - Serum, Lipase - Serum and CA19.9 - Pancreatic Cancer Marker, taking it to 99 parameters across 22 components. Amylase and Lipase are pancreatic enzymes that screen for pancreatitis; CA19.9 is a pancreatic tumour marker. Nothing else differs, so with no abdominal symptoms and no pancreatic reason to test, this package covers the same ground for less.

Should I book this or the Comprehensive Full Body Checkup with CRP & RA Factor?

That package has 91 parameters across 14 components and is open to all genders. This one is the same screen with five tests for women added: Prolactin, IHC- Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Luteinising Hormone, Carcino Embryonic Antigen (CEA) and CA125 - Ovarian Cancer marker. One point runs the other way. The CRP in that package is quantitative, a number in mg/L you can follow across repeat tests, whereas the CRP here is qualitative, positive or negative only. If a trackable CRP figure is what your doctor asked for, that package does it and costs less.

How long do I need to fast before this checkup?

10 hours, counted from your last food rather than from midnight, which matters if your shift starts early or rotates. Plain water is allowed and encouraged; no tea, coffee, juice or milk. The fast is needed for the Lipid Profile and Blood Glucose Fasting — the hormones and tumour markers do not require it. Stop biotin supplements 48 hours beforehand, as biotin interferes with thyroid and hormone assays. Declare hormonal contraception, fertility medication or hormone replacement therapy, all of which change FSH, LH and prolactin. If you are or might be pregnant, say so, because CA125 is raised in pregnancy.

Which parts of Faridabad get free home sample collection?

Free home collection covers Faridabad, including Sector 15A, 16A, 21, 21A, 21D, 31, 75, 78, 81, 85, 88, Neharpar, Greater Faridabad, Sainik Colony, Green Field Colony and Old Faridabad, with the rest of the city on request. A trained phlebotomist collects the blood and urine samples at your door in one visit, and the sample travels to the laboratory in temperature-controlled conditions. Early slots ahead of a shift start can be requested, which is what makes a rested prolactin sample and a day 2 to 5 FSH draw achievable.

Can I book this for my mother or sister, and is the laboratory NABL-accredited?

Yes to both. Add her details at booking and request a single slot if two women at the same address are testing; each gets her own report. If one of you needs a specific cycle day for FSH and LH, say so, since that person's timing sets the appointment. Your sample is processed at a NABL-accredited laboratory in our network. NABL accreditation is granted to individual laboratories after evaluation of their equipment, processes and personnel; it is not a company-wide certification, and HealthVas does not claim to hold it. Digital reports arrive within 24 hours.

Why Book on HealthVas?

The price on the page is the price you pay. Home sample collection and digital reports are not billed separately. For this package the home visit is what makes the test correct rather than merely convenient. FSH and LH have to be sampled on day 2 to 5 of your cycle, a window that opens when bleeding starts and closes a few days later, and a shift roster fixed weeks in advance will not move to meet it. A phlebotomist who can come the morning after you ring — including before an early shift starts — is how a short-notice clinical instruction actually gets followed. Every sample is processed at a NABL-accredited laboratory in our network, and reports are issued on HealthVas letterhead. NABL accreditation (National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories) is granted to individual laboratories after evaluation of their equipment, processes and personnel — it is not a company-wide certification, and HealthVas does not claim to hold it. Two things here are unusual at this parameter count. The Blood Picture - Peripheral Smear Examination is read by a qualified pathologist under a microscope rather than counted by an analyser — which is the only way a genuinely low platelet count is told apart from platelets clumped in the tube, and that distinction matters when heavy bleeding is the reason for testing. And the hormone and tumour-marker results are published with their limits attached: FSH and LH read against cycle day, prolactin against rested conditions, and CA125 and CEA as screening aids with many non-cancerous reasons for a raised value. We will also point you at a cheaper package when it fits better. The CRP in this one is qualitative; if a CRP number you can follow over time is what your doctor asked for, the Comprehensive Full Body Checkup with CRP & RA Factor reports it in mg/L and costs less. With no pancreatic concern raised, this tier rather than the Comprehensive Health Checkup for Women is the right one.
