Prolactin rises during sleep — tied to sleep itself, not to any particular hour on the clock. So if you work Noida's night or rotational shifts and sleep through the day, your prolactin rhythm has moved with your sleep, and a 9 AM sample taken after a night awake is not the rested morning sample the reference range was built on. That is worth saying out loud, because prolactin is one of the five women's tests this package adds: Prolactin, IHC- Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Luteinising Hormone, Carcino Embryonic Antigen (CEA) and CA125 - Ovarian Cancer marker, over a 19-component screen of 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. FSH and LH are read against your cycle day. CA125 and CEA are screening aids, not verdicts: both rise in non-cancerous conditions and a normal value does not exclude cancer. NABL-accredited laboratory, reports in 24 hours. From 1999. Free home collection across Noida — Sector 16, 29, 52, 78, 119, 126, 143 and Noida Extension.

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 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 exactly three pancreatic tests — Amylase, Lipase and CA19.9 — and nothing else; with no pancreatic reason to test, book this. The CRP here is qualitative — positive or negative, no figure. For a trackable CRP number the Comprehensive Full Body Checkup with CRP & RA Factor reports it in mg/L and costs less. ## Prolactin, FSH and LH — and Why Your Sleep Timing Matters These three are the first-line panel for irregular periods, suspected PCOS and fertility workup. FSH and Luteinising Hormone are pituitary hormones driving the ovarian cycle. The FSH/LH ratio forms part of a PCOS assessment, LH often high relative to FSH; a persistently high FSH points to declining ovarian reserve or menopause. Raised Prolactin suppresses ovulation, a common and treatable cause of irregular or absent periods. Two timing rules. The second is where shift work bites. Cycle day governs FSH and LH: drawn 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 that reads high. Prolactin rises during sleep, tied to sleep itself rather than to a clock hour. For a woman on Noida's night or rotational shifts who sleeps through the day, the rhythm shifts with her sleep, so a 9 AM sample after a night awake is not the rested morning sample the reference range assumes. Say when you last slept. A mildly raised prolactin is repeated after rest; stress, a breast examination and several 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 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, pelvic pain or early satiety needs a gynaecologist and a pelvic ultrasound regardless. Carcino Embryonic Antigen (CEA) follows colorectal cancer already diagnosed rather than finding it. Smokers carry higher baselines; it also rises in inflammatory bowel disease, pancreatitis and cirrhosis. A normal CEA does not exclude bowel cancer — colonoscopy screens for that, and is not here. ## Blood Picture - Peripheral Smear Examination One component here comes from a person, not a machine. 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 says only that haemoglobin is low. The slide supplies the reason — small pale cells for iron deficiency, large cells for B12 or folate deficiency, sickle-shaped cells for sickle cell disease. The pathologist also sees blast cells that may indicate leukaemia, clumped platelets an analyser returns as dangerously low, and under Hemoparasites the malarial parasites that matter where dengue and malaria are endemic in Delhi NCR. Pathologist time is why it goes missing at this price. ## 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): TT3, TT4, TSH; Indian women are hypothyroid three times as often as men (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 and uric acid. Lipid Profile (9): Non-HDL cholesterol predicts risk better than LDL alone (AHA/ACC, 2018). Complete Urine Analysis (17): Protein, glucose, 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 or above 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); night work means almost no daylight. RA Factor (1): Qualitative; positive in only 70-80% of rheumatoid arthritis, a negative does not exclude it; anti-CCP is 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 on night or rotational shifts in Noida's BPO and offshore-support sector – Prolactin rises during sleep rather than at a fixed clock hour, so a day sleeper's prolactin rhythm is shifted and a morning sample taken after a night awake is not what the reference range assumes. Tell the collection team when you last slept, and keep repeat samples at the same point in your own sleep cycle. Night work also means almost no daylight, which bears on the Vitamin D (25-Hydroxy) result; Indian deficiency prevalence runs from 40% to over 90% (Ritu G, Gupta A, Indian Journal of Community Medicine, 2014;39(4):178-184).
  • 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 (Unnikrishnan AG, et al., Indian Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2013;17(4):647-652). Note your cycle day at collection.
  • Younger employees taking a first adult baseline – Noida's workforce skews young, and a first full screen is mostly valuable for the baseline it leaves behind: hormone values, haemoglobin, thyroid and vitamin levels are all read partly against your own earlier numbers. Vitamin B12 is a common early finding, with 47 to 70% of Indians deficient and over 70% among vegetarians (Yajnik CS, et al., Journal of the Association of Physicians of India, 2006;54:775-782). The same draw covers lipids, liver, kidney and blood sugar.
  • Women with heavy periods and constant tiredness – 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 Blood Picture - Peripheral Smear Examination 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.
  • 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 interpreted by a doctor alongside symptoms 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.
  • Women planning a pregnancy or around the menopausal transition – For conception, this covers the blood work a gynaecologist asks for first: FSH, LH and Prolactin for ovulatory function, TSH, vitamin D, vitamin B12 and a full CBC with Iron Studies, and correcting iron before conception takes months. Around menopause, a persistently high FSH with irregular cycles fits the transition, and the Lipid Profile, fasting glucose and HbA1c matter more from then on (ADA Standards of Care in Diabetes, 2024). Estradiol, AMH and a DEXA scan are not included.

How to Prepare

Fasting: 10 hours, required for the Lipid Profile and Blood Glucose Fasting. Plain water is allowed and helps — a hydrated vein is an easier draw. No tea, coffee, juice or milk. Cycle day: Book day 2 to 5 if you can, 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. If your periods are irregular or absent, book any day and say so — your doctor will interpret in that context. Prolactin and sleep, including for shift workers: prolactin rises during sleep and falls through the waking hours, and it is sleep that sets the rhythm, not the clock. A day worker should take a 7 to 10 AM slot, after a night's sleep and before much activity. If you work nights, that same slot falls at the end of your waking period instead, so tell the collection team when you last slept and for how long, and keep repeat tests at the same point in your own cycle. Sit quietly for 15 to 20 minutes before the draw either way. Before a prolactin test: no breast or nipple stimulation and no breast examination in the previous 24 hours. Stress and several medicines — some antipsychotics, antiemetics and acid-reducing drugs — raise prolactin, so list what you take. Night-shift fasting: count the 10 hours from your last meal rather than from bedtime. If you ate at 3 AM, an afternoon slot is the realistic one and can be requested. 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 Noida — Sector 16, 29, 52, 71, 78, 119, 121, 126 and 143, Atta Market and Noida Extension, 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 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, 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; cortisol and melatonin, which also follow daily rhythms and are not measured here; 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 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 Noida?

It starts from 1999 in 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.

I work night shifts. Will that change my prolactin result?

It can change how the result is read. Prolactin rises during sleep and falls through waking hours, and the rhythm is tied to sleep itself rather than to a particular hour on the clock. If you sleep through the day, a 9 AM sample taken after a night awake is not the rested morning sample the reference range was built around, so it can read differently from the same woman's sample after a night of sleep. Tell the collection team when you last slept and for how long, keep repeat tests at the same point in your own cycle, and give your doctor your shift pattern with the report.

How do I manage the 10-hour fast on a night shift?

Count the fast from your last meal rather than from when you went to bed. A woman who eats at 3 AM completes a 10-hour fast in the early afternoon, so an afternoon collection slot is the realistic one and can be requested. The fast is needed for the Lipid Profile and Blood Glucose Fasting; the hormones and tumour markers do not require fasting. Plain water is allowed throughout and makes the draw easier.

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.

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.

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 interpreted by a doctor 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?

It is a manual microscopic examination of your blood. A qualified pathologist spreads 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 a CBC alone says only that haemoglobin is low. Small pale cells point to iron deficiency, large cells to B12 or folate deficiency, sickle-shaped cells to 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. Across Delhi NCR the Hemoparasites finding is the practical argument for keeping it, since dengue, malaria and chikungunya circulate every monsoon 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.

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. 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.

Which Noida sectors get free home sample collection, and can a phlebotomist come after my shift?

Free home collection covers Noida, including Sector 16, 29, 52, 71, 78, 119, 121, 126 and 143, Atta Market, Noida Extension and the areas along the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway, 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. Slots outside the standard morning window can be requested, which is the practical answer for anyone coming off a night shift.

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 is on a specific cycle day for FSH and LH, say so, since that person's timing drives 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. 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. Three 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 are caught at all — and it earns its place where over half of women aged 15 to 49 are anaemic. The hormone and tumour-marker results are published with their limits attached: FSH and LH read against cycle day, and CA125 and CEA as screening aids with many non-cancerous reasons for a raised value. And we explain the prolactin-and-sleep problem for shift workers instead of printing a blanket instruction to arrive at 7 AM. 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. And with no pancreatic concern raised, this tier rather than the Comprehensive Health Checkup for Women is the right one. Collection slots outside the standard morning window can be requested.
