A Women’s Health Panel is a comprehensive health assessment designed to evaluate various aspects of a woman’s overall well-being. This panel combines several laboratory tests to provide valuable insights into a woman’s health status.

Who is this for?

This test is suitable for women of all ages who wish to assess their general health and identify any potential health concerns. It is particularly beneficial for women who:

• Have concerns about their overall health
• Want to establish a baseline for their health
• Are experiencing symptoms that they cannot explain
• Are considering starting a family or going through pregnancy

Benefits of this test:

• Comprehensive health assessment: The Women’s Health Panel provides a comprehensive overview of a woman’s health, including blood cell counts, organ function, thyroid health, and urinary tract health.
• Early detection of health issues: This panel can help identify potential health problems at an early stage, when they are often easier to treat.
• Personalized health management: Based on the test results, your healthcare provider can recommend appropriate preventive measures, lifestyle changes, or further testing.
• Peace of mind: Knowing your health status can provide peace of mind and help you make informed decisions about your healthcare.

Preparation before getting tested:

• Consult your doctor: Discuss your health history, symptoms, and reasons for wanting the test with your healthcare provider.
• Follow fasting instructions: Some components of the panel, such as the chemistry test, may require fasting for a certain period before the blood draw.
• Avoid medications: If possible, avoid taking medications that can interfere with the test results, as advised by your doctor.

Special instructions: Requires patient to fast for 14 hours prior to testing.

Test Components:

1. CBC (Complete Blood Count): Evaluates red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and hemoglobin levels, helping to assess blood cell health and potential anemia or infections.
2. Chemistry 23: Measures various substances in the blood, including electrolytes, glucose, kidney function markers, liver enzymes, and lipids, providing insights into organ function and metabolic health.
3. TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone): Assesses thyroid function, which can impact metabolism, menstrual cycles, and overall well-being.
4. Urinalysis: Examines urine for signs of infection, kidney problems, or other abnormalities.

Please note that the specific preparation guidelines and test components may vary depending on your individual situation and the laboratory’s requirements. It’s essential to follow your doctor’s instructions carefully.

By undergoing a Women’s Health Panel, you can take a proactive approach to managing your health and well-being.
