Diagnosing the source of bleeding is crucial and often involves a multidisciplinary approach. Some common diagnostic tools include:
- Endoscopy: Useful for visualizing the upper GI tract to locate the source of bleeding. - Colonoscopy: Used to examine the lower GI tract. - Ultrasound: Helps to identify gynecological issues such as ovarian cysts or uterine anomalies. - MRI: Provides detailed images of both the GI and reproductive systems, useful for complex cases like endometriosis.
