Test before surgery

[systimax]

Hello, I am considering surgery to remove my Gyn.

Before I contact a specialist like Dr Bermant, Is there a list of  test that I should get done. (Blood work and what not)

It really doesnt matter what the test say, I will be getting the work done either way. Ive been dealing with this for 15 years.

However the test are for more to prevent it from coming back.

thanks

The Gyn doctor is 5 hours away. Id rather save the time.

Also I am seeing my primary care phy. in a week. Much easier to get a referel to a lab from him.

Anyone else?

So do you have a name for these test besides "Hormome test"

Or if i tell my Primary Doc that would he know what they consist of.

Your primary care doctor should know what tests to order.  The usual are thyroid, testosterone, LH (luteinizing hormone) if the testosterone is low.  Those are the three my doctor ordered.  I have heard that sometimes they want to check estradiols, too.
