Women’s Health Testing Program

Each stage of development in a woman’s life requires special medical care and the appropriate laboratory testing to ensure optimal health. Health concerns vary at different stages of a woman’s life (i.e. adolescent, reproductive, premenopausal and postmenopausal periods).

Bendiner’s women’s health program is specially designed to provide services covering the full span of a woman’s development. The tests include screenings for common female cancers (breast, ovarian, endometrial and cervical, HPV), diagnosis of vaginitis/vaginosis and amenorrhea, assessment of cardiovascular risk, hormone levels (estrogens, estradiol, FSH, LH, DHEAS) and women’s comprehensive health.

In addition, we also provide laboratory assessment of osteoporosis, including vitamin D, calcium, C-telopeptide, procollagen type I, thyroid and parathyroid hormone, and alkaline phosphatase.
