Prima – Prostate PSA Test (1 Test)
Prima – Prostate PSA Test (1 Test)
The Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) is a protein produced by the epithelial cells of the prostate gland. Its function is to fluidify the ejaculate and to increase sperm mobility. PSA also plays a role in dissolving cervical mucus, allowing sperm to enter the uterus. Small quantities of PSA are normally found in the blood of men with a healthy prostate. PSA levels may increase with prostate pathologies (prostatitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia etc.), naturally with age or after prostate surgery or specific diagnosis tests (such as rectal examination, prostate biopsy etc.).

VAGINAL INFECTIONS AND pH
Vaginal infections are quite common and often a recur- ring problem among women of all age groups. An indication of abnormal acidity of the vaginal discharge can help evaluate whether the vaginal symptoms are likely caused by an infection that may require follow-up with an health-care professional. An acidic vaginal pH value of 3.8 to 4.5 is a basic requirement for the optimal functioning of the body system which protects the vagina. This system can effectively avoid colonization by pathogenic germs and the occurrence of vaginal infections. -

Faecal Occult Blood (FOB) is the presence in the faeces of blood that is not clearly visible to the naked eye. Occult blood may be the consequence of gastro-intestinal disorders such as ulcers, polyps, colitis, diverticulitis, rhagades, haemorrhoids or cancer. The signs of these lesions are often silent in the first phases, so searching for occult blood in the stool is an important screening test, which allows to identify the presence of pathologies in the gastro-intestinal system at an early stage.

Menopause is defined as the time when there has been no menstrual periods for 12 consecutive months and no other biological or physiological cause can be identified. The menopause is caused by a modification of the hormonal balance in woman’s body. This change arises generally when close to 45 years old. But true signs are observed around 55 years old. An irregular duration of periods is an early indication of the menopause beginning (peri-menopause). Menopause is the consequence of the end of ovary follicle life-cycle leading to increase of Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) circulating level. Concentration of FSH increases du
ring menopause passing from values less than 20 mUI/mL up to approximately 80 mUI/mL. Checking the presence of high levels of FSH is a useful tool for verifying a potential ongoing menopause status. -

MALE INFERTILITY
Male infertility can be a health issue for men and is primarily responsible for inability to conceive after 1 year of regular, unprotected intercourses. Particularly, male factor infertility affects nearly 50% of infertile worldwide couples who want to conceive and to require empirical therapy. The sperm count is considered lower than normal if you have fewer than 15 million sperm per milliliter of semen.WHAT IS SPERM TEST
SPERM TEST is designed to be used for in vitro qualitative estimation of the sperm concentration of human semen. The test will determine if the number of sperms is adequate for conception, subject to female partner’s ovulation in time. A low sperm concentration would indicate less likelihood of conception. -

PREGNANCY AND hCG
In the very early stages of pregnancy, the fertilized egg is transported from the tubes to the uterus where, around seven days later, it lurks. Precisely at this stage, the tissue that will form the placenta begins to produce the human Chorionic Gonadotropin, also called hCG hormone, essential for the correct development of pregnancy. The quick appearance and rapid increase in the concentration of the hCG hormone in the urine make it an excellent indicator for the early confirmation of pregnancy.
