Profile Tests

Infertility Profile (Female)

The Infertility Profile for females are tests designed to check different hormones that affect a woman's fertility. This profile is typically done as part of a fertility assessment to identify any underlying issues that could be contributing to difficulty in conceiving

Some of the hormones tested in the Infertility Profile for females are:

  • Luteinizing Hormone (LH)   LH is produced by the pituitary gland and regulates the menstrual cycle and ovulation. Abnormal levels of LH can indicate issues with ovulation
  • Estradiol (E2) Estradiol is a form of estrogen produced by the ovaries. Levels of estradiol fluctuate throughout the menstrual cycle and are important for follicle development and ovulation
  • Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH)  AMH is produced by small follicles in the ovaries and is a marker of ovarian reserve. Low levels of AMH may indicate decreased fertility potential
  • Progesterone  Progesterone is produced by the ovaries after ovulation and is essential for preparing the uterus for implantation of a fertilized egg. Progesterone levels are typically measured in the latter half of the menstrual cycle to confirm ovulation
COMPONENT TESTS
  • DHEA Sulphate
  • Estrogen (Estradiol)
  • Progesterone
  • Testosterone [CL]
  • Serum TSH [CL]
  • Free T4 [CL]
  • Free T3 [CL]
  • Cortisol
  • LH [CL]
  • FSH [CL]
  • Prolactin [CL]
  • Anti Mullerian Hormone [ELISA]

Infertility Profile (Male)

The Infertility Profile for males involves checking different factors related to male hormone balance and reproductive health. At the core of this is analysing hormone levels, which are important for reproductive function:

  • Testosterone  The primary male sex hormone responsible for sperm production and sexual characteristics
  • Prolactin Levels  Elevated prolactin levels can interfere with testosterone production and sperm function
  • Thyroid Function Tests  Thyroid hormones play a role in reproductive function, and abnormalities in thyroid function can affect fertility

The profile also includes a semen analysis test, which is a crucial part of male infertility evaluation. It assesses parameters such as sperm count, motility, morphology (shape), and volume

COMPONENT TESTS
  • DHEA Sulphate
  • Testosterone [CL]
  • Serum TSH [CL]
  • Free T4 [CL]
  • Free T3 [CL]
  • Cortisol
  • Prolactin [CL]
  • Semen for Examination
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS

Refrain from sexual intercourse and masturbation for atleast 3 days

Method of collection: Produce sample by masturbation without using artificial lubrication. Collect in a clean glass or plastic container. It is important that the whole ejaculate must be collected

Deliver the specimen within 30 minutes of collection while keeping in a warm pocket and away from AC and direct sunlight
