Blood tests can diagnose a range of conditions in gynecology:
- Hormonal Imbalances: Conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), menopause, and thyroid disorders can be diagnosed through blood tests that measure hormone levels. - Infections: Blood tests can detect sexually transmitted infections (STIs) like HIV, syphilis, and hepatitis. - Cancer Screening: Tests like the CA-125 can be used to screen for ovarian cancer. - Anemia and Blood Disorders: Conditions such as iron-deficiency anemia can be identified through a complete blood count (CBC).
