What are the methods to check fibroids

Although fibroids are a frightening disease, there are ways to treat them. It's just that the treatment process is relatively long. However, the first step is to get checked. Generally speaking, you can do a self-test. You must pay attention to any discomfort you feel and don't ignore it. Let's take a look at the following article to see what methods are there to check for fibroids?

1. Laboratory examination: mainly includes routine examination of blood, urine, stool, biochemical and immunological examination, pathological examination, etc.

(1) Blood examination includes blood cell count, white blood cell classification, cell morphology examination and hemoglobin determination.

(2) Urine examination includes appearance, acid-base reaction, specific gravity, qualitative analysis of protein and sugar, and microscopic examination of sediment.

(3) Stool examination includes general characteristics, microscopic examination and occult blood test.

(4) Biochemical and immunological examinations include laboratory tests of alpha-fetoprotein, carcinoembryonic antigen, Epstein-Barr virus antigen and antibody, serum purple reaction, serum heat resistance test, serum aldolase, acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, acid α-naphthyl acetate esterase, and 5-carboxyindoleacetic acid.

(5) Pathological examination includes exfoliated cell examination and biopsy pathological examination.

2. Radiological examination: mainly includes X-ray fluoroscopy, X-ray film, X-ray angiography, CT scan, magnetic resonance imaging, etc.

3. Radionuclide examination: that is, isotope examination, including functional test, scanning and gamma irradiation examination, radioimmunoassay, etc.

4. Ultrasonic examination: including type A and type B ultrasonic examination.

5. Endoscopic examination: including various rigid or optical fiber endoscopes, such as laryngoscope, bronchoscope, mediastinoscope, esophagoscope, gastroscope, gastroduodenoscope, colonoscope, rectum, anoscope, cystoscope, ureteroscope, nephroscope, colposcope, hysteroscope, etc.

Through the above examinations, we can have a deeper understanding of fibroid disease, which shows the importance of this step. It is also necessary to remind that fibroid patients may experience depression and pessimism, so the family members of patients should comfort the patients and actively accept treatment, hoping to recover soon through active treatment, and also do a good job of healing care, which is also to prevent recurrence of the disease.
