Additional evaluations may include pelvic examinations, imaging studies, and assessments of patient history to determine the underlying cause of abnormal findings.
Treatment Protocols: Treatment strategies depend on the underlying cause of the abnormal substance levels. They may involve discontinuing or adjusting medications, treating infections or inflammations, managing hormonal or metabolic imbalances, or addressing exposure to environmental toxins.
