Diagnosis: what to expect
Finding the cause of abnormal bleeding usually follows a clear sequence. Most of it can be started in a telehealth visit.
- Your history
Your bleeding pattern, medicines, pregnancy plans, and family history.
- Pregnancy test
Always first, because it changes everything that follows.
- Blood tests
Anemia, iron, thyroid, and other tests based on your history.
- Imaging and tissue
Ultrasound, then biopsy or hysteroscopy when needed.
