Integrum Female Check-Up
Low iron stores and an underactive thyroid explain a great deal of the tiredness women are told to live with. This package measures both, alongside a Pap smear, an echocardiogram, three body analyses and seven specialist consultations.
About This Department
Thirty-eight answers, gathered in a single day and explained before you go.
The full thyroid panel, iron stores, B12, a Pap smear, a heart scan and seven specialist consultations. Everything is done in one day in Istanbul, and the check-up physician goes through the results with you before you leave the building.
Everything Included in the Integrum Female Check-Up
Seven consultations, twenty-three laboratory tests, five imaging and screening studies and three body analyses, all under a single price.
A general surgeon is the one to see about a lump you can feel, a thyroid that seems swollen, a hernia or gallbladder pain. Very few check-up packages put one in the room.
The echocardiogram is the item most often missing from a package at this level. It shows the valves and the pumping action, which an ECG on its own cannot.
None of the three needs a needle or a fast. Each one feeds straight into a consultation. The dietitian sees your muscle mass on screen, and the podiatrist watches how you actually walk.
Iron, ferritin, B12, folic acid, TSH, free T4 and free T3 all sit in this package, and between them they account for a great deal of the exhaustion women are told to accept as normal. Ferritin matters most, because iron stores empty long before a blood count turns anemic, which is why a woman can be told her hemoglobin is fine while she is running on almost nothing. The thyroid side is measured as a full set, TSH with free T4 and free T3, so an underactive gland cannot slip past on one borderline value. Seven numbers, one blood draw, and a physician who reads them together the same afternoon.

What Makes This Package Worth the Trip
A General Surgeon in the Room
Somewhere to take the lump, the swelling or the pain that has been bothering you for months. An examination settles many of these in minutes, and points to imaging when it does not.
Thirty-Eight Findings, One Reader
Scattered tests get scattered interpretations. Here the check-up physician holds every value, every scan and every specialist note at once, and turns them into one conversation with you.
Screening That Would Take a Year at Home
A cervical smear, a heart scan, a dental X-ray and seven consultations usually mean seven appointments booked months apart. Compressed into a working day, they become something you can actually finish.
A File You Can Hand Over Anywhere
Every value carries its reference range and every scan carries its finding, written in the language you name at booking. Your own doctor reads the report and acts on it.
How the Day Runs
Arrival and Bloods, 9am
Registration, then a single draw that supplies all twenty-three laboratory tests while you are still fasting. The urine sample goes in at the same time. Breakfast is waiting once that is done.
Imaging, Heart and the Three Analyses
Chest and panoramic dental X-ray come first. The cardiologist then runs the ECG and the echocardiography. Body composition, foot and skin analyses take a few painless minutes each, and they slot into the gaps between appointments.
Gynecology, Surgery and the Rest of the Seven
The Pap smear is taken during the gynecology examination. General surgery, dental, nutrition and podiatry follow, and every one of these doctors already has your results on screen, so you are not reciting your history seven times.
Closing Consultation, Around 4pm
Everything is back inside the day, read as a single picture and explained to you in person, with a written report to take away. The Pap result follows from the laboratory once the cytology is complete, and the office sends it to you.
Getting Ready
Have your usual dinner, then nothing more until the blood is taken. That single instruction covers the glucose, the HbA1c and the lipid profile.
Pap Smear Instructions: Please schedule your Pap smear when you are not menstruating. For 48 hours before the test, avoid sexual intercourse, vaginal medications, creams, lubricants, and douching.
This is the one item on the list where the date matters, so tell the coordinator where you are in your cycle when you propose your travel dates. Anything that coats the cervix can obscure the cells and force a repeat, which is a poor use of a trip.
The body composition analysis reads muscle, fat and water, so arrive normally hydrated and leave the hard workout for another day. Neither the foot nor the skin analysis asks anything of you.
Bring comfortable clothes you can change out of easily, your list of medicines, and any recent results you already hold. A previous smear, a thyroid panel or an iron level lets the physician see which way your numbers are moving.
Should You Be Booking This One?
- Tired in a way that sleep does not fix, with no explanation so far
- A smear that is overdue, or one you cannot remember the date of
- Heavy periods, and nobody has checked your iron stores
- A lump or a swelling you want a surgeon to feel
- Weight that will not move despite the same diet as always
- A first thorough check in your thirties or forties, with a family history behind it
This is a screening package for a woman who is broadly well. Where a symptom is already present, waiting for a flight is the long way round to an answer somebody at home could give you this week.
- Bleeding between periods or after intercourse
- Severe pelvic pain, or a fever that will not settle
- Pregnancy, or a condition already under investigation
Open to women from 18 upwards. Message us before booking if you are pregnant or think you might be, because parts of the day would need adjusting.
Two Gaps Worth Knowing About Before You Book
Breast imaging is not part of this package. The general surgeon and the gynecologist can examine you, and an examination catches a good deal, but it is not the same as a mammogram or a breast ultrasound. If you are over 40, or there is breast cancer in your family, say so at booking and it can be added to the same day rather than becoming a second trip.
The Pap smear comes without an HPV test. They answer different questions. A smear looks at the cells themselves, while an HPV test looks for the virus that causes almost all cervical cancer, and many countries now screen with both. It can be added at booking, and it is worth asking about if your last smear was several years ago.
Ask us whether this is the right package before you pay for anything
Send your age, your rough dates, and whatever has been on your mind. A physician reads it and tells you whether these 38 items cover it or whether something should be added. That review costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
Coming to Istanbul for the Day
The smear sets the date, so choose the week before you choose the flight. Send two or three possible windows and the coordinator will pick the one that works.
Arrive the evening before so the fast runs overnight, spend the middle day at the hospital, and hold the third in reserve in case a finding calls for a closer look.
One blood draw is the most invasive part of the day. No sedation, no recovery time, and no medical reason to delay the return flight.
Consultations run directly in your language. The team covers English, Arabic, French, Russian, Serbian, Romanian and Spanish, with others arranged when you ask at booking.
Airport pickup and hotel transport are handled by the office. Up to two relatives may sit in on the examinations. Where a visa is required, the invitation letter is issued around ten days before you travel.
Your smear result is sent through once the cytology is finished, and the same WhatsApp number stays open afterwards for questions about any value in the report.
Reading a Quote Properly
Package names tell you nothing. One hospital's women's check-up is fourteen items, another's is forty, and both are advertised in the same words. Ask each of them for the item list, then work through these five points.
No figure appears on this page. Any number printed here would be wrong for most women who read it, and out of date within a season. Message the team with your age and your dates instead, and a written breakdown comes back covering the package and anything you have asked to add. That part is free.
