Abnormal Uterine Bleeding Pathway

Get your tests

You may have tests to find the cause of your symptoms and check for other health problems:

  • Pelvic exam. This is done to check your pelvic organs. You may feel pressure, but it doesn’t hurt.
  • Pap test. This looks for changes in your cervix.
  • Blood tests. These may be ordered to understand your bleeding and check your iron levels.
  • Pregnancy test. This is done if there is a chance you could be pregnant.
  • Urine test.
  • Pelvic ultrasound. This is done to get images of the inside of your pelvis. It uses either a probe on the outside of your lower belly ​or a probe inside your vagina.
