Detection often involves a combination of patient history, physical examinations, and diagnostic tests. Common methods include:
Pelvic Exam: A physical examination to check the reproductive organs for any abnormalities. Pap Smear: A screening test to detect cervical dysplasia and HPV infections. Ultrasound: Imaging to visualize the uterus, ovaries, and other pelvic structures. Biopsy: Taking a tissue sample for histological examination. Blood Tests: To check for hormonal imbalances and markers of infections or cancers.
