Start with the question, not the test
People often arrive asking for a specific test they have heard about. It is usually more efficient to describe the symptom and let the panel be chosen around it.
Tiredness and weakness
Full blood count first — anaemia is the commonest cause in Nigeria. Blood sugar and thyroid function if it persists.
Fever
Malaria and typhoid testing, with a full blood count. A negative malaria test is useful information, not a dead end.
Burning urination or discharge
Urinalysis and a swab. An STI panel where there is any risk of exposure.
Trying to conceive
AMH and a pelvic scan for her; a semen analysis for him. Testing one partner only wastes months.
Before marriage
Genotype, blood group, hepatitis B and C, HIV and VDRL — the standard premarital panel.
Common questions
Can you just tell me what to book?
Yes — message us with the symptom and we will tell you the shortest route to an answer.
Is a general health check better?
If you have no specific symptom, a screening package covers more ground efficiently.
What if my test comes back normal?
That is useful — it rules things out and directs where to look next.
Do I need every test on the form?
No. More tests is not better testing.
Still not sure?
Message us and we will answer directly. No form, nothing stored on this site.
