32 Years Old With Hypothyroidism And Allergic. Planning To Go For General Health Check Up. Advice?

Posted on Thu, 4 Apr 2013

Question: I would like to do a general health check for my wife who is aged 32 years. The only known health problems that she has is hypo thyroid and allergy/breathing issues. I am not sure what package to go for the checkup. Whenever I have checked with the hospitals, they almost always suggest the most expensive one.
So my question is what are the tests that you advice for my wife?

Hello,
Thanks for posting your query on health care magic.

Since your wife is 32 years old with hypothyroidism and allergic, following are minimum and basic investigations.

1. Complete blood count.
2. Urine routine and microscopy.
3. Fasting blood sugar.
4. Lipid profile
5. Thyroid profile which includes T3, T4, TSH.
6. Pap smear.
7. Ultrasound abdomen and pelvis.
8. Get her blood pressure checked from a physician.

The above investigations are sufficient.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the prompt response, anything required to analyze the risk of other diseases like breast cancer or other common diseases in women? Or would these tests suffice and hint to further tests if required?
