Female Sexual Health - Advanced Screen

The laboratory test mentioned is a Chlamydia Urine Test. It is performed to detect the presence of Chlamydia trachomatis bacteria in the urine sample of an individual.

Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the Chlamydia trachomatis bacteria. It can affect both men and women and is one of the most common STIs worldwide. Chlamydia often does not show any noticeable symptoms, especially in the early stages, which makes it important to get tested regularly, especially for sexually active individuals.

The Chlamydia Urine Test is a non-invasive and convenient method to diagnose Chlamydia infection. It is particularly useful for individuals who may be asymptomatic or have mild symptoms. This test is recommended for sexually active individuals, especially those who have multiple partners, engage in unprotected sex, or have a history of STIs. It is also advised for pregnant women, as Chlamydia can be transmitted to the baby during childbirth, leading to potential complications.

Early detection and treatment of Chlamydia are crucial to prevent the spread of the infection and avoid long-term complications such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), infertility, ectopic pregnancy, and chronic pelvic pain. Therefore, getting a Chlamydia Urine Test done can help in timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment of the infection.

The Hepatitis C Antibodies test is a blood test that checks for the presence of antibodies in your blood that are produced in response to the Hepatitis C virus. 

This test is used to determine if you have been infected with the Hepatitis C virus at some point in the past.

Hepatitis C is a liver infection caused by the Hepatitis C virus, and it can lead to serious liver damage if left untreated. The antibodies test is important because many people with Hepatitis C do not have any symptoms, so they may not know they are infected. By detecting the presence of antibodies, the test can help identify if someone has been exposed to the virus and may need further testing or treatment.

It's important to note that a positive result on the antibodies test does not necessarily mean you currently have Hepatitis C, but it does indicate past exposure to the virus. 

If the antibodies test is positive, further testing may be needed to determine if the virus is still present in your body.

The HIV 1 & 2 Antibodies + p24 Antigen test is a blood test that is used to check for the presence of HIV antibodies and a specific protein called p24 antigen in the body. HIV is a virus that attacks the immune system and can lead to AIDS if left untreated.

This test is important because it helps to diagnose HIV infection. The antibodies are produced by the body in response to the virus, so their presence indicates exposure to HIV. The p24 antigen is a protein that is present in the early stages of HIV infection, before antibodies are produced.

By detecting both the antibodies and the p24 antigen, this test can identify HIV infection earlier than tests that only look for antibodies. Early detection is crucial because it allows for early treatment and management of the virus.

It is important to note that a positive result on this test does not necessarily mean a person has AIDS, but it does indicate HIV infection. Further testing and medical evaluation are needed to determine the stage of the infection and appropriate treatment options.

This test measures the presence of Gonorrhoea by PCR.

Gonorrhoea is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

In males, Gonorrhoea can cause symptoms such as painful urination, discharge from the penis, and swollen testicles. If left untreated, it can lead to complications like epididymitis (inflammation of the epididymis) and prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate gland).

In females, Gonorrhoea can cause symptoms such as increased vaginal discharge, painful urination, and pelvic pain. If left untreated, it can lead to complications like pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), which can cause infertility and increase the risk of ectopic pregnancy.

 It is important to diagnose and treat gonorrhea promptly to prevent complications and further transmission of the infection.

The Syphilis IgG/IgM test is a blood test that helps detect the presence of antibodies in your body that are associated with syphilis, a sexually transmitted infection (STI). This test is used to determine if you have been exposed to the bacteria that causes syphilis.

Syphilis is a serious infection that can be transmitted through sexual contact or from an infected mother to her baby during pregnancy. It can cause various symptoms, such as sores, rashes, and flu-like symptoms, but sometimes it may not show any symptoms at all.

The Syphilis IgG/IgM test works by checking for two types of antibodies: IgG and IgM. IgG antibodies are produced by your body after a previous or ongoing syphilis infection, while IgM antibodies are produced during an active or recent infection.

Getting tested for syphilis is important because early detection and treatment can prevent serious complications.

If the test results are positive, it means that you have been exposed to syphilis and further medical evaluation and treatment are necessary. If the test results are negative, it indicates that you have not been infected with syphilis or that it is too early for the antibodies to be detected.
