This test is essential for anyone who wants to know more about their thyroid function.

Prostate Profile

The Prostate Profile (Total & Free PSA) test is a blood test that measures the levels of two substances in your blood called prostate-specific antigens (PSA). PSA is produced by the prostate gland, which is a small organ in men located below the bladder.

This test has commonly been used to help detect prostate cancer. It is also very useful to monitor known prostate cancer cases.

Heart Health Profile

This profile analyses some of the major risk factors for heart problems.

This profile will tell you if you have diabetes (HbA1c) – there are over 1 million people with diabetes who do not know they have it. Finding out will enable you to make the lifestyle changes and start treatments that will significantly lengthen your life and improve how you feel every day.

It includes a full cholesterol profile analysing over 5 parameters. Over 40% of adults have high cholesterol levels which is a very significant risk factor for heart attacks and strokes. The only way to detect if you have high cholesterol is through a blood test. It will enable you to make the changes you need to reduce your risk of some of the most common causes of death.

Menopause Hormones Profile

The Menopause Hormones Profile is a test that measures the levels of Oestradiol, Luteinising Hormone, Testosterone and Follicle Stimulating Hormone to confirm if you are in the menopause.

It also includes Thyroid Stimulating Hormone as it is not uncommon that thyroid problems can cause similar symptoms as the menopause.

Menopause is a natural process that occurs in women as they age, typically between the ages of 45 and 55. The ovaries stop producing eggs and the levels of hormones such as oestrogen and progesterone, decrease.

Thankfully, Hormone Replacement Therapy can help most women with many of the symptoms and it is worth speaking to a doctor about this.

Blood Testing in ManchesterSexual Health – Bloods Only

Sexual Health Serology is a test that checks for certain infections that can be transmitted through sexual contact. It helps to identify if a person has been exposed to sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as HIV, syphilis, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C.

The results of the test can provide important information about a person’s sexual health. If the test comes back negative, it means that the person has not been exposed to these infections. However, if the test comes back positive, it indicates that the person has been exposed to one or more of these STIs and further medical evaluation and treatment may be necessary.

It is important to get tested regularly, especially if you are sexually active or have multiple sexual partners, as many STIs do not show obvious symptoms. Early detection and treatment can help prevent the spread of infections and protect your overall health.

Male Hormone Profile

This complete profile analyses the range of hormones that affect every aspect of a man’s health and wellness. Everything from energy, strength, concentration, mood, libido, to muscle strength and bone health is dependent on these hormones being at the right level and in balance.

Testosterone and all the other essential hormones steadily reduce after the age of 30 with rapidly accelerating loss later in life – particularly from 60.

The optimum levels needed for maximum male health and wellness are debated but whatever you decide about treatment, you need to start with understanding and monitoring these hormones.

All of these hormones exist in both men and women but in very different concentrations and have very different functions if you are male.
