Obligatory medical device diagnostics.
- Vaginal ultrasonography (ultrasound examination using an ultrasound probe inserted into the vagina) – to assess the genital organs, including endometrial thickness (thickness of the lining of the uterus)
- Abdominal ultrasonography (ultrasound examination of the abdominal organs) – mainly to assess the kidneys, adrenal glands and ovaries (ovaries).
Optional medical device diagnostics -depending on the results of the history, physicalexamination, laboratory diagnostics and obligatory medical device diagnostics – for differential diagnostic clarification.
- Hysteroscopy (endometrial examination of the uterus); indications (indications for use):
- Myomas (myoma uteri) – benign growths that form on or in the uterine wall.
- Removal of an IUD (intrauterine device; coil), which was no longer detectable from the outside.
