The Pelvic Ultrasound Scan is a non-invasive diagnostic procedure that uses sound waves to create images of the internal structures of the pelvic region. This includes the uterus, cervix, vagina, fallopian tubes, and ovaries in women, and the prostate gland and seminal vesicles in men. It's an essential tool for identifying abnormalities that could affect fertility or pregnancy.
SFA, or Serological Fasting Assessment, is a comprehensive blood test that measures various parameters of your health, such as glucose levels, lipid profile, and kidney function. It's often used to detect conditions like diabetes, high cholesterol, and kidney disease, which could potentially impact your health or the health of your future children.
The HIV 1&2 test is a critical part of the pre-couple health check, as it screens for both types of Human Immunodeficiency Virus. Early detection of HIV can lead to timely treatment, reducing the risk of transmission and allowing for better health management.
Urine M/C/S, or Urine Microscopy, Culture, and Sensitivity, is a test that detects and identifies bacteria and yeast in the urine. It can help diagnose urinary tract infections, which can cause discomfort and potential complications if left untreated.
Knowing your Blood Group is vital, especially if you require a blood transfusion. In pregnancy, the mother's and father's blood types can affect the baby, so it's important to know this information ahead of time.
VDRL, or Venereal Disease Research Laboratory test, is a blood test for syphilis, a sexually transmitted infection that can cause serious health problems if left untreated. Early detection is key to successful treatment.
Genotyping is the process of determining differences in the genetic make-up (genotype) of an individual by examining the individual's DNA sequence. It can reveal if you're a carrier of certain genetic disorders that could be passed on to your children.
Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C tests are crucial as these viral infections affect the liver and can be transmitted through blood and body fluids. They can lead to chronic disease and liver cancer if left untreated. Knowing your status can help protect your partner and manage the disease if you have it.
