What Are the Limitations of Blood Tests in Gynecology?
While blood tests are valuable diagnostic tools, they have limitations:
- False Positives/Negatives: Some tests may yield inaccurate results, necessitating additional testing. - Non-Specific Results: Certain markers, like CA-125, are not specific to one condition and require further investigation. - Variability: Hormone levels can fluctuate, so timing and context are crucial for accurate interpretation.
