What’s the difference between male and female wellness blood tests?
Male and female wellness blood tests are comprehensive metabolic panels that measure your overall body chemistry by evaluating levels of:
- Vitamins and minerals
- Proteins
- Lipids
- Internal organ functions
- Cellular health
The difference is in the specific-gender tests. Male tests include total testosterone and PSA screening to evaluate prostate cancer risk, while female tests include total estrogens and CA-125 screening for ovarian cancer.

What is a Wellness Test for Women?
A Wellness Test for Women is a wide range of tests used in assessing the general wellness of female patients, and also assists in the diagnosis of many conditions present in an individual. Private MD Labs' tests assess females for a number of wellness factors, including kidney and liver function, estrogen levels, cholesterol, thyroid function, and others depending on the checkup selected.
Who May Need a Wellness Test for Women?
Wellness Tests for Women are critical for any female patient who is concerned about their physical health and well-being. Historically, physicians begin ordering these types of tests for patients beginning in their early 30's, yet their frequency often increases as a female gets older, particularly as a female reaches menopausal age. However, female patients whose family or personal history includes issues with heart health or cholesterol, ovarian cancer, abnormal kidney or liver function, and thyroid problems may be asked by their doctor to have these tests performed early and often.
What Should I Expect from My Wellness Test for Women?
Wellness Tests for Women begin with a blood sample being drawn from the patient, which is then sent to a laboratory for analysis. The only preparation required for these tests includes fasting for 12-14 hours preceding the test. A common reference range will be supplied by the laboratory for these tests; however, your doctor may have a range for certain tests built specifically around your health as an individual. Your results should be discussed at length with your doctor, particularly if any abnormalities exist, so they can determine how the results concern you and your health.
