A Well Woman Check is one of the most important ways to protect long-term health. Many women only see a clinician when symptoms appear, but early screening can detect concerns long before they become serious. Searches such as:
- “Well woman check over 50”
- “NHS well woman check”
- “Full body MOT health check for women”
- “Well woman check at 40”
- “Private women’s health check London”
- “Bupa women’s health check alternatives”
are rising sharply across London – especially as women look for faster appointments, same-day testing, and clearer explanations.
This guide explains exactly what women need at each stage of life and how Marylebone Diagnostic Centre supports women with private, discreet, same-day testing.
What Is a Well Woman Check?
A Well Woman Check is a clinical assessment designed to:
- Review current health
- Screen for risks early
- Check hormone balance
- Assess heart, thyroid, reproductive and metabolic health
- Identify symptoms that need follow-up
- Provide personalised lifestyle advice
A typical screening includes:
- Blood tests
- Urine tests
- Breast or pelvic health discussion
- Menopause assessment (if relevant)
- Cardiovascular risk evaluation
- Thyroid and metabolic screening
At Marylebone Diagnostic Centre, women receive results within 24–42 hours with clear explanations from Dr Lauren Holland.
Why Women Need Age-Specific Health Checks
Your needs change as your hormones, metabolism, and cardiovascular system change. A good women’s health check must reflect your age, lifestyle, family history, and symptoms.
Below is the recommended structure for women in their 40s, 50s, and 60s.
Well Woman Check at 40
Your 40s often bring early hormonal changes, higher stress levels, and shifts in energy, weight, and mood.
Important tests include:
Thyroid Function
Thyroid changes are common in women and can cause tiredness, low mood, hair changes, or weight fluctuation.
Female Hormone Panel
LH, FSH, progesterone, oestradiol, prolactin, testosterone, SHBG.
Useful for cycle changes, low libido, irregular periods, or fertility concerns.
Full Blood Count
Checks anaemia, iron deficiency, infections, and overall blood health.
Vitamin D & B12
Low levels can cause fatigue, tingling, low mood, or hair thinning.
Cholesterol & Heart Profile
A critical age to detect early cardiovascular changes.
Glucose & Diabetes Screening
Early detection protects long-term health.
Recommended MDC Profile:
Female Wellness Profile + optional Female Hormone Panel.
Well Woman Check at 50
Your 50s often involve menopause, heart health monitoring, and metabolic changes.
Recommended tests:
Menopause and Hormone Assessment
Hormonal decline can affect sleep, mood, weight, libido, and bone health.
Thyroid Profile
Thyroid autoimmune conditions are more common after 50.
Kidney and Liver Function
Medication use often increases during this decade; functions should be monitored.

Key tests include:
Heart & Cholesterol Screening
Heart disease risk increases significantly after menopause.
