The Sexual Dysfunction Panel (FEMALE) offered by MedEX Neo Clinic is a comprehensive set of tests designed to evaluate and diagnose potential underlying factors contributing to sexual dysfunction in females. This panel includes a range of tests that provide valuable insights into hormonal imbalances, metabolic health, organ function, and overall well-being.
The panel begins with a Complete Blood Count (CBC) test, which assesses various blood components, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. CBC helps identify any underlying conditions, such as anemia or infections, that may affect overall health and potentially contribute to sexual dysfunction.
The HbA1C test measures the average blood sugar levels over a period of time and helps evaluate long-term blood sugar control. Elevated HbA1C levels indicate poor glycemic control, which can contribute to sexual dysfunction, particularly in individuals with diabetes.
The Lipid Profile test assesses the levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood. Elevated levels of cholesterol and triglycerides can impair blood flow, including blood flow to the genital area, and contribute to sexual dysfunction. This test helps identify any lipid abnormalities that may be impacting sexual health.
The liver Function Test and Kidney Function Test are included in the panel to evaluate the health and functionality of these vital organs. Dysfunction in the liver or kidneys can affect hormone metabolism and overall health, potentially leading to sexual dysfunction.
The thyroid Function Test assesses the functioning of the thyroid gland, which plays a crucial role in hormone regulation. Thyroid imbalances, such as hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, can impact sexual function. Evaluating thyroid hormone levels helps identify any abnormalities affecting sexual health.
The panel includes tests for Testosterone (Total), Prolactin, F.S.H (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone), and LH (Luteinizing Hormone). These hormone tests help evaluate the hormonal balance in females. Testosterone is not only a male hormone but is also in females and plays a role in sexual function. Imbalances in testosterone and other hormones such as prolactin, F.S.H, and LH can contribute to sexual dysfunction.
Estradiol and Progesterone tests are included to assess the levels of these female sex hormones. Imbalances in estradiol and progesterone can affect sexual function and overall reproductive health.
Prolactin levels are also measured as an excessive hormone level can impact sexual desire and function.
The sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) test measures the level of SHBG, a protein that binds to sex hormones, in the blood. SHBG levels can influence the availability and activity of sex hormones, and imbalances can contribute to sexual dysfunction.
The panel also includes a Liquid-Based Cytology (LBC) test, a cervical cancer screening method. This test helps detect abnormal changes in cervical cells that may indicate underlying issues impacting sexual health.
Overall, the Sexual Dysfunction Panel (FEMALE) offered by MedEX Neo Clinic provides a comprehensive assessment of various factors related to female sexual health. Combining multiple tests, this panel helps evaluate hormonal imbalances, metabolic health, organ function, and overall well-being. These tests enable healthcare professionals to identify potential underlying causes of sexual dysfunction and develop personalized treatment plans to address the specific needs of each individual.
