Apollo Women’s Health - Essential Test is a comprehensive health package designed specifically for women. It is one of the best health checkup packages for women, consisting of various tests crucial for maintaining and monitoring health.

Women face unique health challenges throughout their lives, from reproductive health issues to menopause and beyond. This is why women’s health checkup packages are of utmost importance. The tests are designed to identify any potential health issues early, allowing for timely treatment and prevention of more serious conditions.

The Apollo Womens Health - Essential Test includes a range of tests that cover various aspects of women's health. These tests include a complete blood count (CBC), hormonal tests, and thyroid function tests. A complete list of all the included components are as follows:

• Diabetes/Glucose Check: This component is based on two specific assessments. First, the Glucose - Fasting examination helps doctors evaluate an individual’s blood sugar levels after an overnight fast. Second, the Haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) test measures a subject’s average glucose levels from the last 2 to 3 months.
• Liver Profile: A core component of Apollo Womens Health - Essential Test is the liver profile. Acting as an supplementary tool, this examination measures Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) and Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) levels. Elevated concentrations of these two enzymes can indicate more severe underlying problems.
• Blood Studies/Complete Blood Count (CBC): This is a vital component of a women’s health checkup package. It measures the levels of various blood components, such as red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. The CBC can detect blood-related disorders such as anaemia, infections, and blood cancers. 
• Kidney Function Test: Comprising urea and creatinine assessments, a kidney function test works similarly to a liver profile. Doctors use diagnostic tools to determine the overall functioning of the organ and to check for any signs of damage.
• Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) Test: Inhibited or elevated hormone production can result in multiple issues, including conditions such as hyperthyroidism. A TSH test helps doctors assess thyroid functioning and hormone production levels to determine the potential risks of such complications.
• Hepatitis Screening: A basic yet critical clinical examination, a hepatitis screening helps detect whether an individual has been infected with the HCV disease.

Summing up, the Apollo Womens Health - Essential Test is an excellent option for women who want to stay on top of their health and prevent potential health concerns. With Apollo 24|7, the results are available within 36 hours, which enables quick treatment and preventive measures.

In addition to the tests in the women’s health checkup package, women should also practise healthy lifestyle habits to maintain their overall health and well-being. These habits include regular exercise, a healthy diet, stress management, and getting enough sleep.
