Diagnosis of thrombosis in a gynecological context involves several steps:
Clinical Evaluation: Assessment of symptoms such as swelling, pain, redness, and shortness of breath. Imaging Studies: Ultrasound is commonly used to diagnose DVT, while a CT pulmonary angiogram or a ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) scan can diagnose PE. Blood Tests: D-dimer tests can indicate the presence of a clot, although they are not definitive.
