The Sexual Dysfunction Panel (MALE) offered by MedEx Neo Clinic is a comprehensive set of tests designed to evaluate and diagnose potential underlying factors contributing to sexual dysfunction in males. 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 be affecting overall health and potentially contributing to sexual dysfunction.
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.
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.
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 that may be affecting sexual health.
The panel includes tests for Testosterone (Total), Prolactin, FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone), and LH (Luteinizing Hormone). These hormone tests help evaluate the hormonal balance in males. Testosterone is a primary male sex hormone responsible for sexual function, and imbalances can contribute to sexual dysfunction. Prolactin, FSH, and LH levels provide insights into the function of the pituitary gland, which regulates hormone production.
PSA Total (Prostate-Specific Antigen) test measures the levels of PSA in the blood, which can be indicative of prostate health. Prostate issues can affect sexual function, and monitoring PSA levels helps identify potential prostate-related factors contributing to sexual dysfunction.
Vitamin D test assesses the levels of this essential vitamin, which is important for overall health and well-being. Low levels of Vitamin D have been associated with sexual dysfunction, and addressing any deficiencies can contribute to improved sexual health.
The panel also includes a Urine R/E (Routine Examination) test to evaluate the urinary system and identify any potential urinary tract infections or abnormalities that may impact sexual function.
Overall, the Sexual Dysfunction Panel (MALE) offered by MedEx Neo Clinic provides a comprehensive assessment of various factors related to male sexual health. By 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.
