Woe, thy name is woman–is an adage we’ve forgotten over the time, but today, the necessity of a complete health check up for women reminds us that women of all ages are under a great deal of stress and are prone to a plethora of physical problems.
The wise women go in for a proper doctor check up who order a whole array of tests to rule out the possibility of various conditions and diseases that women can contract. Stress, workload and self-neglect are the main causes why women health after 30 can become a series of aches and pains which they normally ignore till they become unbearable. Though, comprehensive health check ups from heart and thyroid check up to uterine and eye check up are now readily available.
Many leading pathology labs and hospital chains pan-India have highly relevant and fine tuned health check up lists for women. One click or one visit, and you can have access to an annual health check up list for women that is relevant and important for your lifestyle, medical history and age.Starting from Whole Body check ups and becoming more and more specific, these check up packages include special Bone Health, Thyroid Profile, Diabetes, Pre-conception and Reproductive Health packages for women.
