Article by Gina Oller, embryologist and psychologist specializing in fertility and assisted reproduction, in collaboration with Teletest. When a couple consulted about fertility, the focus was almost entirely on hormones, ovarian reserve, embryo quality, or seminogram. However, in recent years, another concept has gained weight and is being talked about more and more: low-grade chronic
The presence of materials containing installed asbestos (MCA) is still common in buildings constructed before 2002. However, one of the most frequent errors in its management is not its existence, but the failure to correctly assess the real risk it poses. As stated in a recent publication specializing in prevention, merely identifying asbestos without assessing
The gut-brain connection is now one of the key axes for understanding why digestive problems can be accompanied by symptoms such as mental fatigue, persistent stress, or a feeling of general imbalance. The gut does more than just digest. It is a highly active organ, capable of generating chemical signals that directly influence mood, stress,
During the winter season, the circulation of colds and respiratory viruses such as the flu and COVID-19 typically increases, as well as bacteria that can cause respiratory infections with similar symptoms. Clinical presentations often share symptoms: fever, cough, congestion, or general malaise… And since the clinical presentation can seem very similar, guessing “what it is”
The Christmas holidays usually involve significant changes in our habits: larger meals, increased alcohol consumption, fewer hours of sleep, and increased physical and emotional stress.

Approximately 25% of the population suffers from allergies, but most are unaware of what triggers their symptoms. Knowing what you are allergic to is not just a matter of “naming” your symptoms; it allows you to know your real risk, prevent reactions, adjust your diet and environment, and plan effective treatments (and avoid unnecessary restrictions).
Did you know that a single tick bite can transmit more than one infection at a time? 🦠 Lyme disease, caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, is just one of them. In many cases, ticks can also spread other microorganisms that complicate diagnosis and treatment. Therefore, at Teletest we have developed the CO-LYME panel, a
September marks the end of summer and the return to the work routine. This change is not only mental: our body also perceives it and responds to it. Returning to work usually means fewer hours of rest, more responsibilities, some social pressure and, in many cases, a significant increase in stress. All of this directly
