Assessment begins with a conversation
A doctor considers your medical and reproductive history alongside your concerns. Relevant partner history may also form part of the assessment.
Tests are individualized
Your doctor may recommend investigations depending on your circumstances. Not everyone requires the same tests. Ask what a test can show and how it may affect your care plan.
Discussing next steps
Findings help guide a discussion of options. Assessment does not guarantee a particular outcome, and you should have the opportunity to ask questions before decisions are made.
