What tests are in endometriosis screening for women?
Endometriosis screening includes a transvaginal ultrasound, Pap smear, and blood tests like CBC and platelet counts to assess the pelvic environment and rule out other conditions.
Endometriosis Screening Tests
Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the lining inside the uterus grows outside of it, causing pain and sometimes infertility. Proper screening is crucial for managing this condition effectively.
Key Tests Included in Screening
- Transvaginal Ultrasound: This imaging test helps visualize the reproductive organs and can detect abnormalities such as endometrial cysts.
- Pap Smear: A conventional test that helps rule out cervical abnormalities and other potential pelvic issues.
- Blood Tests: These include a Complete Blood Count (CBC) and platelet counts, which provide information about your overall health and help rule out other conditions.
These tests collectively assess the pelvic environment, helping to confirm or rule out endometriosis and other conditions. Women experiencing symptoms like painful periods or infertility are often recommended to undergo this screening, with the schedule tailored by a healthcare provider.
