A. A whole health checkup is a great way to assess your overall well-being and detect any underlying health issues early. Since you have PCOS, occasional dizziness, and past pregnancy-related concerns, a comprehensive health checkup should cover: Recommended Tests for You: 1. General Health Screening ✅ Complete Blood Count (CBC) – Checks for infections, anemia, etc. ✅ Blood Sugar (Fasting & HbA1c) – To detect diabetes or prediabetes. ✅ Lipid Profile – Checks cholesterol levels for heart health. ✅ Liver Function Test (LFT) – Assesses liver health. ✅ Kidney Function Test (KFT) – Checks kidney health. ✅ Thyroid Profile (T3, T4, TSH) – Since PCOS can affect thyroid function. 2. PCOS & Hormonal Checkup ✅ Prolactin Level – Since yours was high (36) and affects fertility. ✅ Testosterone & DHEA-S – To check for hormonal imbalance in PCOS. ✅ AMH Test – To assess ovarian reserve (if planning pregnancy). ✅ Insulin Resistance Test – PCOS can increase insulin resistance. ✅ Vitamin D & B12 – Deficiencies can cause fatigue, weakness, and dizziness. 3. Gynecological & Breast Health ✅ Pelvic Ultrasound – To check ovarian cysts, fibroids, and uterus health. ✅ Pap Smear – If you haven’t done it recently, to screen for cervical cancer. ✅ Breast Ultrasound/Mammography – Since you have a fibroid in your breast. 4. Heart & Bone Health ✅ Electrocardiogram (ECG) – If you experience palpitations. ✅ Bone Density Test (DEXA Scan) – PCOS and pregnancy can impact bone health. Where to Get It Done? You can book a full-body health checkup package at labs like Apollo, Thyrocare, SRL, Dr. Lal PathLabs, or a hospital near you. Home sample collection is available for many tests.
