This Raksha Bandhan, Gift a Health Panel: What Women in Gurugram Should Test

Fatigue, hair fall, irregular cycles and low mood get written off as stress for years. A short panel usually finds a reason.

The Core Women's Panel

• CBC + Serum Ferritin — anaemia and iron stores; heavy periods make this the commonest finding
• Thyroid Profile — hypothyroidism is several times more common in women
• Vitamin D and Vitamin B12 — body ache, fatigue, low mood, tingling
• Fasting sugar / HbA1c — especially with PCOS or a family history
• Lipid Profile — risk rises quietly after 35

If Cycles Are Irregular or There's Acne, Weight Gain or Facial Hair

Add a PCOS-oriented panel: LH, FSH, prolactin, TSH, testosterone, DHEAS, fasting insulin, and a pelvic ultrasound. PCOS is a clinical diagnosis — the tests support it and rule out the mimics.

By Age

• 20s–30s: anaemia, thyroid, vitamin D, B12, cycle-related hormones
• 30s–40s: add sugar and lipids; discuss breast self-examination
• 40s+: add calcium and vitamin D for bone health, and follow your doctor's advice on mammography and Pap smear

Timing Tips

Hormonal tests are cycle-dependent — day 2 or 3 of your period for LH/FSH unless told otherwise. Sugar and lipids need a 10–12 hour fast. Thyroid, ferritin, D and B12 need no fasting.
