VitaHealth Analysis Comprehensive – Female
The Women’s Comprehensive Health Check is the most detailed and complete collection of tests that examine the overall health of women. This health exam brings to light any health issues such as cancer risk, cardiovascular health, and hormone imbalances. All of these diagnostic tests can be used reliably to monitor overall health and check for any symptoms or potential warning signs for a variety of diseases and health concerns that affect men. Make the Comprehensive Health Check a part of your regular health and wellness regimen. A few of the specialized tests conducted include:
Urinalysis
A urinalysis is a test of your urine. Urine samples looks at the bottom part the sediment and what deposits out of it, this affects the specific gravity of the sample. The test has “normal” ranges for monitored variables such as the acidity, protein concentration, sugar levels, blood, and signs of infection. Any abnormalities would be treated to prevent further harm to your health.
Progesterone
Progesterone prepares the endometrium for the potential of pregnancy after ovulation. Women who have low levels of progesterone will have abnormal menstrual cycles or may struggle to conceive because the progesterone does not trigger the proper environment for a conceived egg to grow. Signs of low progesterone include:
- Headaches or migraines
- Irregular or missed periods
- Thyroid dysfunction
- Frequent miscarriages
- Hot flashes
- Weight gain
Beta-Carotene
A group of red, orange, and yellow pigments called carotenoids that provide as much as 50% of the Vitamin A recommended in a diet. Beta-carotene is used to prevent heart disease, cataracts, and certain cancers. As well, it is used to treat depression, heartburn, high blood pressure, and skin disorders such as psoriasis. Associations such as the American Heart Association and the American Cancer Society recommend food as the primary source of getting beta-carotene, until further research is conducted on the efficacies of supplement based alternatives.
