Advanced Female Health Screening

Advanced Female Health Screening in London

What It Tests, Why It Matters, and Who It’s For

Author: Dr Lauren Holland, Clinical Lead – Marylebone Diagnostic Centre

Many women experience symptoms for months or years. Often, they are told it is stress. Sometimes, they are told results are “normal”.

However, symptoms are real. Blood testing can explain them. Marylebone Advanced Female Health Screening is a full health check using blood markers. It looks at hormones, nutrition, metabolism, stress, and immunity together.

Why Women Need Multi-System Testing

Female symptoms often overlap. For example, fatigue may come from:

  • Iron deficiency
  • Thyroid imbalance
  • Low vitamin D
  • Inflammation
  • Blood sugar swings
  • Chronic stress

One test rarely gives the full answer. A full profile is usually more useful.

Frequently Asked Questions – Female Health Screening

A women’s health check usually includes blood tests that assess overall health. These often cover:

  • Blood count and inflammation
  • Hormones
  • Thyroid function
  • Iron levels
  • Vitamins
  • Cholesterol and metabolic health

At Marylebone Diagnostic Centre, the Advanced Female Health Screening combines all these areas into one comprehensive profile, rather than testing them separately.

Important tests for women often include:

  • Iron and ferritin
  • Thyroid hormones
  • Female fertility hormones
  • Vitamin D and B12
  • Blood sugar markers
  • Cholesterol

The most useful approach is testing these together, as symptoms often overlap across systems.

Female health screening usually refers to preventative testing that looks at multiple systems. This may include:

  • Hormonal balance
  • Metabolic health
  • Nutritional status
  • Cardiovascular risk

The Marylebone Advanced Female Health Screening is designed specifically for female patients who want a broad health overview.

The NHS does not offer a routine “well woman check” blood panel. Testing is usually symptom-led and limited to specific concerns. Private screening allows women to test preventatively, without waiting for symptoms to become severe.

The NHS may offer cervical screening or breast screening at certain ages. However, this is different from a blood-based health check. Blood testing on the NHS is usually done only when symptoms are present and may not include hormones, vitamins, or preventative markers.

A private women’s health check uses blood tests to assess overall health. It is often more comprehensive than NHS testing. Private testing allows:

  • Broader panels
  • Faster results
  • Preventative insight

MDC’s Advanced Female Health Screening is a private, blood-based assessment.

A full body MOT health check is a general term for broad health testing. It usually involves multiple blood markers to assess major organs and systems. At MDC, the Advanced Female Health Screening focuses specifically on female health needs, rather than a generic MOT.

There is no standard NHS “well woman check” at 40. However, many women notice hormonal and metabolic changes in their late 30s and early 40s. This is a common age to consider:

  • Hormone testing
  • Thyroid checks
  • Iron and vitamin assessment

There is no routine NHS blood-based well woman check for women over 50 or 60. However, testing becomes more important with age. At this stage, it is useful to assess:

  • Bone and mineral health
  • Cardiovascular risk
  • Thyroid function
  • Vitamins and iron

Preventative testing helps support long-term health planning.

Different providers offer different panels and structures. Some focus on general MOTs rather than female-specific testing. Marylebone Diagnostic Centre focuses on:

  • Female hormone balance
  • Nutritional status
  • Metabolic health
  • Preventative insight

The emphasis is on clarity and relevance, not just volume of tests.

Prices vary depending on the number of tests included. Some private checks range from a few hundred pounds to over £1,000. The Marylebone Advanced Female Health Screening is £499, with all key markers included in one profile.

A female health assessment may be helpful if you:

  • Feel tired or run down
  • Have hormonal symptoms
  • Are planning pregnancy
  • Are over 30
  • Want a health baseline

It is also useful for women who want prevention rather than reactive testing.
