What's included in the program
- andrologist consultation
- general blood test
- ALT
- AST
- blood creatinine
- blood urea
- total bilirubin
- direct bilirubin
- indirect bilirubin
- blood glucose
- Ultrasound of the scrotum
- Ultrasound of the bladder and prostate
- spermogram
- Meyers-Stamey test
The key elements are a spermogram and the Meyers-Stamey test. The first, according to WHO standards, answers whether there are enough sperm and how they move; the second - a four-glass localization test with prostate secretion - shows whether there is hidden prostatitis, which worsens the quality of sperm and interferes with conception. Ultrasound of the scrotum reveals varicocele - the most common removable cause of male infertility (after microsurgery, indicators improve in most men). Biochemistry tests the metabolism that affects spermatogenesis. Based on the results, the andrologist speaks specifically: you can plan, a correction is needed for 3 months (that’s how long the sperm maturation cycle lasts) or treatment is required.
Why do you need a check-up?
Most serious diseases - from diabetes and urolithiasis to oncology - begin asymptomatically and do not make themselves felt for years. The check-up reverses the logic: instead of waiting for complaints, in one day you get an objective picture of the state of the body and learn about the risks while they are easy to work with. An early stage almost always means simpler, shorter, and cheaper treatment—and often a complete cure.
Why a package and not individual tests?
- The composition of the programs was compiled by doctors for a specific task - nothing superfluous and nothing forgotten;
- the package price is significantly lower than the amount of the same services separately;
- one visit instead of several: the route is planned, there are no queues between offices;
- the results are analyzed by a specialized doctor and immediately forms a plan, rather than giving out a “stack of papers”;
- in case of findings, further examination and treatment are available here - from ultrasound and MSCT to surgery.
How is the day going?
Sign up in advance - the program is planned for a specific morning. Come on an empty stomach: first, blood and urine sampling (5-10 minutes), then ultrasound examinations and other procedures of the program according to the route sheet. While the tests are being performed, you are free; at the appointed time - consultation with a doctor with ready results. The entire visit takes 2–4 hours depending on the size of the program; the conclusion and forms are handed out and, if desired, duplicated in the messenger.
To whom and how often
- for men and women from 30–35 years old - once a year as the norm for self-care;
- in case of heredity of oncology, diabetes, heart disease - earlier and more regularly;
- for couples planning a child - before conception, for both partners;
- at the first “minor” complaints: fatigue, decreased libido, discomfort, cycle disorders;
- after 40 years - with mandatory cancer screening by age and gender.
