Men's health
Laboratory complexes for men at Medi Lab Plus are designed to assess reproductive function, hormonal balance, and early detection of prostate diseases. Regular monitoring of these indicators helps control the level of vital energy, maintain high productivity, and prevent the development of chronic pathologies at an early stage.
Benefits of comprehensive male checkups
Preventive control of men's health allows you to assess the state of the body as a whole, and not just react to obvious symptoms. Most hidden inflammatory processes, deficiencies of important trace elements or initial hormonal shifts occur unnoticed. Laboratory analysis helps to detect these changes in time, which allows you to maintain general well-being, metabolism and sexual function.
Assortment of tests for men
The catalog contains a complete list of studies for a detailed examination of the reproductive and endocrine systems. Patients can order individual tests for prostate cancer markers, including total and free prostate-specific antigen PSA. The hormonal profile includes determination of levels of total testosterone, free testosterone, free testosterone index, dihydrotestosterone DHT, androstenedione and sex hormone binding globulin SHBG.
To diagnose the causes of infertility, tests for antisperm antibodies, bacteriological examination of ejaculate with an antibiogram on automatic analyzers, testicular biopsy in case of inflammatory or tumor pathology, as well as examination of cystic formations of the testicle or appendix are performed. Most individual hormonal tests are performed in 1 business day.
Preparing for male tests
To obtain accurate results, venous blood sampling is performed in the morning on an empty stomach, after 8–12 hours of fasting.
On the eve of a visit to any Medi Lab Plus department, it is necessary to completely exclude alcohol consumption, limit fatty foods and avoid heavy physical exertion. Before donating blood for PSA, you should additionally refrain from any mechanical effects on the prostate, massage and physiotherapy for several days.
In the morning before the procedure, you are allowed to drink only clean, still water. Collection of ejaculate for bacteriological examination requires sexual abstinence for 2 to 5 days and strict adherence to personal hygiene to prevent foreign microflora from entering the biomaterial.
