Why is blood drawn for gynecological examination
The routine blood tests mainly include thyroid function examination, liver function, blood routine, kidney function, blood lipids, blood glucose, tumor marker examination, myocardial enzyme examination, etc. Through these examinations, doctors can accurately diagnose the patient's condition and treat them accordingly, thereby improving the success rate of disease cure.
The main purpose is to check for any abnormalities in the blood, such as infections, anemia, and blood disorders. Early detection and diagnosis of certain diseases, diagnosis of anemia, presence of hematological disorders, and reflection of bone marrow hematopoietic function.
What are the gynecological examinations
1. Thyroid function testing: By examining total triiodothyronine T3, total thyroxine T4, and thyroid stimulating hormone, it can be determined whether you have hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, and the condition can be judged through indicators.
2. Blood glucose test: This is the key test to determine whether you have diabetes. The fasting blood glucose level of a normal person is 3.9-6.1 mmol/L; If it is greater than 6.1 but less than 7.0 mmol/L, it is considered impaired fasting blood glucose; If it is greater than or equal to 7.0mmol/L, consider diabetes.
3. Myocardial enzyme examination: This is a sensitive indicator of the impact on the heart, as well as a sensitive indicator for early diagnosis of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, acute myocardial infarction, and viral myocarditis. Mild myocarditis does not have obvious discomfort symptoms, while severe myocarditis can lead to death. So, this inspection still needs to be taken seriously.
4. Detection of tumor markers: alpha fetoprotein is mainly used to screen primary hepatocellular carcinoma, and carcinoembryonic antigen is mainly used to screen pancreatic cancer, colon cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, etc. CA19-9 is mainly used for screening tumors in organs such as the pancreas, biliary tract, intestine, and thyroid, while CA-50 is mainly used for screening tumors in organs such as the pancreas, stomach, and lungs.
