Diagnosis typically begins with a thorough medical history and physical examination. Additional diagnostic tests may include:
- Blood Tests: To check for anemia and any underlying bleeding disorders. - Ultrasound: To visualize the uterus, ovaries, and pelvis for abnormalities like fibroids or polyps. - Endometrial Biopsy: A sample of the uterine lining is taken to check for abnormal cells. - Hysteroscopy: A procedure where a thin, lighted tube is inserted into the uterus to examine the interior.
