What tests does not make sense to take from a gynecologist: do not get fooled by this

But not every clinic assigns you one or another analyzes only to preserve your health. Some, unfortunately, try to take advantage of your problems or create new ones.

Analysis for HPV due to the formation of genital warts 

Unreasonable tests for HPV should alert you. A qualified healthcare professional will only prescribe them if you have obvious symptoms. These include: dysplasia, as well as flat and acute warts. But they can also indicate other diseases. First of all, a gynecologist must diagnose dysplasia for you in order to talk about HPV tests.

Candida swab without complaint by PCR 

The PCR method simply diagnoses the presence of a pathogen in your vagina. But he will not give any information about the indication for treatment. The fact is that such pathogenic microorganisms can be contained in a completely healthy woman's body. However, they will not cause her any harm.

TORCH infection tests 

TORCH infections are a group of infections that can be transmitted in utero from mother to child. Accordingly, it is possible to take an analysis only when planning a pregnancy. In other cases, it is useless.

Hormonal tests when taking COCs

Oral contraceptives do their job - they normalize all hormones and normalize your cycle, while suppressing the work of the ovaries. Therefore, the analysis for progesterone, estradiol, testosterone and other hormones will give you the illusory appearance that everything is fine with you, although this may not be the case at all.
