Obligatory medical device diagnostics.
- Phase contrast microscopy of vaginal secretions (vaginal secretions) – live, unstained cells appear extremely low in contrast in a normal brightfield microscope, these are well visualized by the phase contrast method (see below 1st order laboratory parameters).
Optional medical device diagnostics – depending on the results of the history, physical examination, laboratory diagnostics and obligatory medical device diagnostics – for differential diagnostic clarification.
- Abdominal ultrasonography (ultrasound examination of abdominal organs) or vaginal ultrasonography (ultrasound examination using an ultrasound probe inserted into the vagina) – for suspected endometritis (inflammation of the uterus)/adnexitis (inflammation of the fallopian tubes and ovaries).
