When is aPTT Test Recommended in Gynecology?

An aPTT test may be recommended in the following scenarios:
1. Preoperative Assessment: Before gynecological surgeries, such as hysterectomy, to ensure normal clotting function.
2. Unexplained Bleeding: For women experiencing abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) or heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia).
3. Anticoagulation Monitoring: For patients on anticoagulant medications like heparin, to monitor therapeutic levels.
4. Recurrent Miscarriage: In cases of recurrent pregnancy loss, to rule out underlying clotting disorders.
