At Randox Health, we offer detailed health checks designed for women, aiming to promote wellness and proactive health management.
Everywoman
Specifically tailored for women, the Everywoman health check provides a comprehensive overview of health markers essential for female wellness. Up to 150 biomarkers associated with key health areas including a full blood count, heart health, diabetes health and hormones are measured to provide a snapshot of your current health status and potential health risks.
With your Everywoman health check, you’ll receive an entire year’s worth of data, including bi-annual checks included in the price. You’ll get personalised reports and change tracking allowing you to monitor how any lifestyle changes you make affect your health.
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) Testing
PCOS is a condition that affects up to 1 in 10 women and can lead to symptoms such as irregular menstrual cycles and infertility. Our PCOS blood test includes a range of biomarkers such as testosterone and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) to help diagnose this syndrome and guide appropriate treatment options.
It is recommended to take the test two to five days after the start of your period, ideally on day three of your cycle. It can be taken any time if you do not have periods. It is also important to note that some types of hormonal contraceptive will affect your results.
Menopause Test
Menopause is the decline and cessation of reproductive potential as the follicles in the ovaries become depleted. In other words, menopause is when your periods stop because of changes in your hormone levels, usually between 45 and 55 years old.
Menopause brings with it much uncertainty but with a Randox Health test, you can get the information you need to help you understand the changes happening in your body. Our Menopause blood test measures over 30 biomarkers to help you better understand your hormone levels and evaluate other key aspects of health, including nutrition, risk of heart disease, thyroid function, and bone health.
This test measures hormone levels related to menopausal change, such as oestradiol. Understanding these levels can help you manage menopause symptoms and make small lifestyle changes to ensure a smoother transition during this natural phase of life.
Female Hormone Testing
Hormonal imbalances can lead to various health concerns and symptoms. Hormones like oestradiol, progesterone, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), Luteinising hormone (LH), prolactin, and sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) offer insights into reproductive function and potential hormone imbalances.
The Female Hormone blood test offers essential insights into the balance of hormones that regulate your menstrual cycle and fertility, as well as how hormone alterations can affect your general well-being. By examining biomarkers like prolactin and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), the Randox Health Female Hormone blood test provides valuable information for diagnosing conditions like hormonal imbalances and supporting decisions related to reproductive health.
Nutrition & Lifestyle DNA Test
While not dedicated to Women’s Health, our Nutrition & Lifestyle DNA Test examines genetic markers that influence how your body responds to diet and exercise. The test is designed to help tailor dietary choices to your genetic makeup, enhancing your ability to manage nutrition and lifestyle according to personalised genetic insights.
In the Nutrition and Lifestyle DNA test, we check for variations in your genetic code that influence your response to nutrition, exercise, and other lifestyle factors as well as your predisposition to certain nutritional diseases. Remember, carrying a risk variant does not necessarily mean that you will develop a disease, you may just be at higher risk of developing the disease. Common deficiencies and intolerances we test for include:
Lactose Intolerance
Gluten Intolerence
Vitamin Deficiency Risk
And Much much more
