Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
Thanks for posting your query in HealthcareMagic,

I have read through your query and will suggest the following:

The general preventive health check up comprises of the following tests:-

1) Complete haemogram- to look for any variations in blood parameters.

2) Biochemical parameters- Fasting sugar, post prandial sugar, Urea/creatinine, uric acid

3) Lipid profile: total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, TGL

4) Liver function tests: Total protein, albumin, globulin, SGOT, SGPT, Serum bilirubin

5) Complete urine analysis

6) ECG

7) Pap smear- to test for cervical cancer, ideally to be done from 28 years onwards.



All the above tests are regarded equally important and should be considered with equal emphasis.

Kindly revert back with the test reports so that I will be able to comment on them.


Regards
