Find Clarity When Your Body Sends Warning Signals
When unexplained fluid builds up in your abdomen, chest, or other areas, it’s natural to feel concerned and uncertain. Our Cytology Examination Body Fluids Test provides the answers you need to understand what’s happening inside your body. For just ZAR 250, gain peace of mind through advanced cellular analysis that could detect serious conditions early.
Understanding Your Cytology Examination
This specialised test examines cells from various body fluids under high-powered microscopy to identify any abnormal changes. Using sophisticated Papanicoloau and MGG staining techniques, our expert pathologists carefully analyse cells from fluids like ascitic (abdominal), pleural (chest), pericardial (heart), cerebrospinal, synovial (joint), prostatic, urethral fluids, bronchial washings, sputum, urine, or nipple discharge. The process is designed to detect cellular abnormalities that could indicate infections, inflammatory conditions, or potentially cancerous changes.
When Should You Consider This Test?
This test becomes essential when you experience:
- Unexplained abdominal swelling or ascites
- Persistent chest fluid buildup making breathing difficult
- Neurological symptoms requiring cerebrospinal fluid analysis
- Joint swelling with fluid accumulation
- Unexplained urinary or reproductive system changes
- Persistent cough with sputum production
- Unexplained nipple discharge
If you’re undergoing cancer monitoring or have risk factors for malignancies, this test provides crucial surveillance.
