Before recommending surgery,
your doctor may perform one or
more tests to help confirm the
diagnosis.
Your Pelvic Exam
This exam can help
find the source of your pain. Your health care
provider feels for any lumps or tenderness and
looks at your cervix and vagina to rule out
inflammation. You may also have a rectovaginal
exam (one finger inserted in the rectum) to
check for endometriosis
Pap Smear
A Pap smear is a simple
procedure in which a sample of cells is
removed from your cervix during
a pelvic exam. This sample is later
examined under a microscope for
abnormal cell changes. Cell
samples may also be examined for
vaginitis or sexually transmitted
diseases.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound uses
sound waves to produce pictures of your uterus
or ovaries to detect abnormal
growths. An instrument is either
placed on the abdomen or
inserted into the vagina.
A few
routine tests need to be done before any
surger
- Complete Blood Count, ESR.
- Blood Group Rh
typing
- BT, CT PTT
- Blood Sugur
- TSH
- Sr HIV
- Sr HbsAg
- Urine Routine
- Electro
Cardiograph
- X-Ray Chest PA
view
- Other specific tests
depending on your age and surgery
involved.
Hysteroscopy
Hysteroscopy
provides a direct view of your uterus through a
thin,
lighted
tube(hysteroscope). The tube is passed through
the vagina
into the uterus,
allowing visual inspection of fibroids and other
uterine abnormalities.
Hysteroscopy is often performed at the same
time as D&C.
