Preparation of the examinee
No fasting or any other kind of preparation is required for hormone tests. However, if they involve fertility testing the tests should be performed on the 2nd - 4th day of the menstrual cycle.
A 12-hour fasting period is required for the biochemical blood tests. These tests are not affected by water consumption.
No, there is no restriction. However, the thyroid medicine should be taken after the blood draw.
No fasting is required for the urine tests. For the general urine test, collect the first urine of the day in a sterile urine collector. For urine culture, thorough washing and wiping with a clean towel is required. After the urine has flowed for a several seconds, place the special sterile urine collector in the stream with no use of an intermediate container.
The use of vaginal suppositories and internal washings is not permitted. Sexual abstinence is required 3 days prior to obtaining the sample. Thorough external washing of the area with soap and water is required prior to collection.
This is usually not a problem. However, in case you are on any type of medication, it is best to contact us by phone for more information before the examination.
No special preparation is needed for simple blood tests, but it is best to perform the examinations in the morning. You can freely consume water and coffee without sugar or milk. Normally, the results are not affected by breakfast, except for the tests relating to metabolism, i.e. tests for diabetes, triglycerides and cholesterol. The latter require an overnight fast of 12 hours.
For a simple blood collection, no appointment is required and there is usually no waiting time, when you attend. For the ultrasound section, however, you do need to have an appointment first.
