What should you do before a lab test?
Before getting lab testing in Cleveland, we ask that you are well hydrated.
Lab testing uses your blood to learn more about important factors of your health, like red blood cell count, hormone levels, and more. When it is time to determine which treatments may be right for you, lab testing helps your provider understand what is happening in your body and helps them determine which treatment will be the most effective.
Your first appointment at Advanced Women’s Health will be a consultation with one of our expert providers. You’ll talk about your medical history and what issues have been experiencing. They may order labs to get a better idea of what you need and help determine the course of your treatment.
For your blood draw, an IV will be inserted into your vein, usually one that is in the crook of your arm. The technician will then draw the blood from your body, putting it into vials that will be sent to test for specific elements requested by your providers. Once your provider has the results, they will schedule a follow-up appointment.
With the results of your lab testing in Cleveland, your provider will talk with you about the issues you are facing and suggest different treatments that will help relieve your concerns. Once we have created a care plan that works for you, your treatments will be scheduled.
Everyone deserves high-quality care, and while there are numerous women’s health clinics, Advanced Women’s Health is one of the only ones made by women for women.
