Medical Tests
Your Guide to Preventive Health and Early Detection
Medical tests are essential for safeguarding your health, preventing diseases, and diagnosing health concerns at an early stage. Regular testing is not only important for identifying potential health problems but also plays a crucial role in managing chronic conditions like diabetes, ensuring you stay informed and proactive about your well-being.
Through our practice, we offer a range of diagnostic tests tailored to meet individual health needs.
Detailed Medical Tests We Offer
- ECG (Heart Check)
An Electrocardiogram (ECG) records the electrical activity of your heart. This test is invaluable for detecting heart abnormalities, assessing rhythm issues, and identifying underlying heart conditions. Regular ECG screenings are beneficial, especially if you have risk factors like high blood pressure, a family history of heart disease, or symptoms such as chest pain or palpitations. - Antenatal Sonar (6-12 Weeks)
Early pregnancy ultrasounds, or antenatal sonar scans, between 6 and 12 weeks are critical for confirming pregnancy, checking for multiple pregnancies, and ensuring fetal development is on track. This scan provides essential information on the health of both the mother and baby, giving parents peace of mind during these early stages. - Blood Test
Blood tests offer insight into various aspects of health, from detecting infections and evaluating organ function to monitoring chronic conditions. This test is commonly used for checking overall wellness, evaluating nutritional levels, and diagnosing diseases. Routine blood tests form the foundation of preventive healthcare. - Cholesterol Test
A cholesterol test measures the levels of LDL (bad cholesterol), HDL (good cholesterol), and triglycerides in your blood. High cholesterol levels can increase your risk of heart disease and stroke, making regular testing essential, especially for individuals over 40 or those with lifestyle risks. - Diabetes Test (Glucose Screening)
Diabetes testing assesses blood glucose levels to detect pre-diabetes, Type 1, or Type 2 diabetes. Early diagnosis can be life-changing, allowing for effective management and minimizing the risk of complications. Regular screenings are recommended if you have a family history of diabetes, are overweight, or have hypertension. - Pregnancy Test
Our pregnancy test detects the hormone hCG, confirming pregnancy within days of a missed period. This quick, reliable test is the first step in prenatal care, helping expectant parents take the next steps in monitoring maternal and fetal health. - Urine Test
Urine testing provides valuable information about kidney function, hydration levels, infections, and even chronic diseases like diabetes. This test is simple but highly informative, aiding in the early detection and monitoring of various health conditions. - Prostate Blood Test (PSA Test)
The Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) test measures PSA levels in the blood and is critical for early detection of prostate health issues, including prostate cancer. This test is especially recommended for men over 50 or those with a family history of prostate cancer.
