Surveillance in gynecology typically involves a combination of clinical examinations, laboratory tests, and imaging studies:
Pelvic Exams: Routine physical examinations to check for abnormalities in the reproductive organs. Pap Smears: A screening test for cervical cancer involving the collection of cells from the cervix. HPV Testing: Detects the presence of high-risk human papillomavirus types that can lead to cervical cancer. Ultrasound: Imaging technique used to visualize the ovaries, uterus, and other pelvic structures. Blood Tests: Check for markers that may indicate conditions like ovarian cancer or hormonal imbalances.
