FSH and LH are not tests you can give whenever a trip into town happens to suit. They are interpreted against early-follicular reference ranges, which means the sample is due on day 2 to 5 of your cycle, counting the first day of bleeding as day 1 — a window two or three days wide that you cannot book weeks in advance. In a city as spread out as Greater Noida, that is precisely the window that gets missed, and the test then waits another cycle. Ringing on day 1 and having a phlebotomist come to Beta 1, Delta 2 or Mu on day 2 is what makes the instruction followable at all. 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, 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. From 1999.

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 Greater Noida. 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, the Comprehensive Health Checkup for Women, adds only three pancreatic tests - Amylase, Lipase and CA19.9; with no pancreatic reason to test, book this one. The CRP here is qualitative, no figure; for a trackable CRP in mg/L the 91-parameter Comprehensive Full Body Checkup with CRP & RA Factor costs less. ## Cycle Day Is a Date, Not a Convenient Afternoon 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 or menopause. Raised prolactin suppresses ovulation, a common and treatable cause of absent periods. Here is the practical problem. FSH and LH are measured on day 2 to 5, day 1 being the first day of bleeding, because the reference ranges are early-follicular; a mid-cycle sample can show a normal LH surge reading high against them. The sample is therefore due on a particular day, two or three days wide, that cannot be booked weeks ahead. Where the nearest centre is a journey rather than a walk, that window is easy to miss and the test slides a month. A phlebotomist who comes to Delta 2 or Mu on the day you ring makes day 2 to 5 achievable. Tell the collection team your cycle day; a mildly raised prolactin is repeated after rest. ## 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 value 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 A haemoglobin figure tells you that you are anaemic. It does not tell you which anaemia, and the treatments differ. Closing that gap is this component: a qualified pathologist prepares a slide, reads it under a microscope and reports Red Blood Cells, White Blood Cells, Platelets, Hemoparasites and a written Impression. For women it is the most useful line on the report: over 50% of Indian women aged 15-49 are anaemic (NFHS-5, 2019-21), and iron is not always the reason. Small pale cells mean iron deficiency, large cells B12 or folate deficiency, sickle-shaped cells sickle cell disease - three appearances, three different answers. The pathologist also sees blast cells that may indicate leukaemia, and clumped platelets an analyser returns as dangerously low, which the slide settles on the sample already taken instead of costing another journey. Under Hemoparasites it looks for malarial parasites, endemic alongside dengue across Delhi NCR. Being pathologist time, it is the line dropped at this price. ## The Other 13 Components CBC with ESR (21): Anaemia, infection, inflammation. Iron Studies (5): Iron deficiency versus chronic-disease anaemia; thalassemia trait needs Hb electrophoresis or HPLC. Thyroid Profile (3): TT3, TT4, TSH; Indian women are hypothyroid three times as often as men, 15.86% vs 5.02% (Unnikrishnan et al., IJEM, 2013). Liver Function Test (12): SGOT, SGPT, GGT; NAFLD affects 30-40% of urban Indian adults (Duseja et al., 2022). Kidney Function Test (12): Creatinine, GFR, uric acid. Lipid Profile (9): Non-HDL beats LDL alone (AHA/ACC, 2018). Complete Urine Analysis (17): Protein, glucose, infection - 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 - 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): Qualitative; positive in only 70-80% of rheumatoid arthritis, a negative does not exclude it, anti-CCP being more specific. CRP (1): Qualitative - present or absent, 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 who need a day 2 to 5 sample and cannot plan a trip around it – 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 you can only act on once bleeding starts. In a spread-out city that is the window most often missed, and the test then waits a cycle. Ring on day 1 and book a home visit for day 2: the phlebotomist comes to you, so the timing is a phone call rather than a journey.
  • Women whose periods have become irregular, or stopped – IHC- Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Luteinising Hormone and Prolactin are the first blood tests ordered for this. 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 produces 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 AG, et al., Indian Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2013;17(4):647-652).
  • Students and young staff around Knowledge Park – Greater Noida's university population is largely young women living away from home, often without transport and on hostel or mess catering. That combination makes iron and B12 deficiency common and a collection-centre trip genuinely inconvenient. Over 50% of Indian women aged 15 to 49 are anaemic (NFHS-5, 2019-21), and 47 to 70% of Indians are B12 deficient, over 70% among vegetarians (Yajnik CS, et al., JAPI, 2006;54:775-782). A first full screen also leaves a baseline for later comparison.
  • Women with heavy periods and constant tiredness – Heavy menstrual bleeding is the commonest route to iron-deficiency anaemia in Indian women. The CBC, Iron Studies and Blood Picture - Peripheral Smear Examination together establish whether anaemia is present, whether iron is the cause, and what the red cells actually look like under a microscope - three findings with three different treatments. Thyroid, vitamin B12 and vitamin D are covered in the same sample, and all of them cause the same tiredness.
  • Daughters booking for a mother in a residential sector – In a low-density city the older woman in the household is usually the one whose checkup is never convenient, because the trip to a collection centre is the obstacle rather than the test. A home visit removes it, and one slot can cover two women at the same address - each gets her own report. If one of you needs a specific cycle day for FSH and LH, say so at booking, since that person's timing sets the appointment.
  • 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.

How to Prepare

Cycle day — book 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. The practical method in a spread-out city is to ring on day 1 and ask for a home visit the next morning, rather than trying to reserve a slot in advance. If your periods are irregular or absent, book any day and say so — your doctor will interpret in that context. Fasting: 10 hours, needed for the Lipid Profile and Blood Glucose Fasting. The hormones and tumour markers do not require fasting. Plain water is allowed and helps — a hydrated vein is an easier draw. No tea, coffee, juice or milk. Timing: a 7 to 10 AM slot is best. Prolactin is highest during sleep and the early hours, so a rested morning sample avoids a falsely raised value. TSH also follows a daily rhythm. 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 — easier at home than after a journey. Stress, sleep deprivation and several medicines, including some antipsychotics, antiemetics and acid-reducing drugs, raise prolactin, so list what you take. 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. Exercise: nothing strenuous for 24 hours, since hard activity raises creatinine, uric acid and CRP. Pregnancy: CA125 is raised in pregnancy. If you are pregnant or might be, say so at booking. Home collection: free across Greater Noida — Beta 1, Beta 2, Gamma 2, Delta 2, Delta 3, Mu, Chi 4, Pi 1, Eta, Knowledge Park 2, Knowledge Park 3, Surajpur and Kasna, 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 Greater Noida. ## 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. ## 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.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about Advanced Full Body Checkup for Women in Greater Noida

What is included in the Advanced Full Body Checkup for Women?

96 parameters across 19 components: 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), 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) and CA125 - Ovarian Cancer marker (1).

What does the Advanced Full Body Checkup for Women cost in Greater Noida?

It starts from 1999 in Greater Noida. Home sample collection and digital reports for all 96 parameters are included in that figure, with nothing added at checkout. Book online or on WhatsApp.

How do I get a day 2 to 5 sample when the nearest collection centre is a drive away?

Book home collection and ring on day 1. 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, which is why it cannot be reserved weeks ahead. Greater Noida is spread out and collection centres are not around the corner, so a short-notice trip is the one that gets dropped and the test waits a cycle. A phlebotomist coming to you on day 2 turns a medical instruction into a phone call.

Which parts of Greater Noida get free home sample collection?

Free home collection covers Greater Noida, including Beta 1, Beta 2, Gamma 2, Delta 2, Delta 3, Mu, Chi 4, Pi 1, Eta, Knowledge Park 2, Knowledge Park 3, Surajpur, Kasna and Greater Noida West, 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. Pick a 7 to 10 AM slot: prolactin is lowest after a night's rest and TSH follows a daily rhythm.

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, sleep deprivation, 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 morning conditions - sitting quietly for 15 to 20 minutes beforehand is easier at home than after a journey. 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.

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.

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.

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

A haemoglobin figure tells you that you are anaemic; it does not tell you which anaemia you have, and the treatments differ. This component closes that gap. A qualified pathologist prepares a slide from your sample, 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 iron is not always the cause. 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, malarial parasites inside red cells, and clumped platelets that an analyser returns as a dangerously low count.

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. There is a practical argument for keeping it where travel is a factor - a questionable platelet count can be settled from the slide on the sample already taken, rather than needing a second journey for a repeat draw. The Hemoparasites finding also looks directly for malarial parasites, and dengue and malaria are endemic across Delhi NCR.

How long do I need to fast before this checkup?

10 hours. Plain water is allowed and encouraged; no tea, coffee, juice or milk during the fasting window. 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. Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours. Continue prescription medicines unless your doctor advises otherwise, and declare hormonal contraception, fertility medication or hormone replacement therapy, all of which change FSH, LH and prolactin results. If you are or might be pregnant, say so - CA125 is raised in pregnancy.

Can I book this for my mother or sister at the same address?

Yes. Add her details at booking and request a single slot if two women at the same address are testing; each gets her own report. In a spread-out city this is the booking that matters most, because the family member most likely to skip a checkup is the one for whom the trip to a collection centre is the obstacle. If one of you is on a specific cycle day for FSH and LH, say so - that person's timing drives the appointment. For a man in the household, the Advanced Full Body Checkup for Men carries Testosterone Total and PSA instead of the female hormones and CA125.

How quickly will I get the report, and is the laboratory NABL-accredited?

Digital reports arrive within 24 hours of sample collection, with all 96 parameters, reference ranges and flagged abnormal values. If you have earlier results on HealthVas the report includes trend tracking, which is useful for haemoglobin, thyroid and the hormone values, since cycles and treatment move them over time. 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.

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 in Greater Noida, home collection is not a convenience — it is what makes the test correct. FSH and LH have to be sampled on day 2 to 5 of your cycle, a window that opens only when bleeding starts and closes a few days later. You cannot reserve that in advance, and in a low-density city where a collection centre is a drive rather than a walk, a short-notice window is the one that gets missed. Ring on day 1, and a phlebotomist comes to you on day 2. 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 how cell shape, hemoparasites and clumped platelets get caught at all, and it earns its place where over half of women aged 15 to 49 are anaemic. 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.
