Learn about medical tests, such as what they are used for, why a doctor might prescribe one, how it feels, and what the results signify.
Medical tests can help discover an illness, make a diagnosis, plan treatment, check to see if treatment is effective, and track the condition over time. A doctor may order these tests as part of a standard examination, to look for specific diseases and disorders, or to keep track of your overall health.

Full-body health check-up
A basic full-body check-up normally includes a physical exam to measure blood pressure, heart rate, weight, and height, as well as blood tests to assess complete blood count, cholesterol, blood sugar, and kidney function. It may also include a urinalysis and screening for specific malignancies, such as breast or prostate. The entire process typically takes a few hours and is advised for adults every 1-2 years.
Types of tests in the whole body check-up package
A health test package includes a variety of medical tests and screenings to evaluate a person’s general health. A full body check-up may involve the following tests:
Blood tests: To diagnose illnesses such as diabetes, high cholesterol, and liver or kidney disorders.
Imaging tests: These include X-rays, CT scans, and MRI scans to detect abnormalities in organs or tissues.
ECG: To monitor the heart’s health and discover problems such as arrhythmia.
Pulmonary function tests assess lung function.
Physical examination: To detect any physical abnormalities or symptoms.
Cancer screenings, such as mammography and colonoscopy, are used to detect any signs of cancer.
Cost of health check-up bundles
The cost of health check-up packages can range from Rs. 799 to Rs. 20,000, depending on the facility, location, and type of tests included.
