Bleeding Profusely From Vagina, Ordered Some Blood Tests. Is A Pregnancy Test Included In That Panel Of Tests?
Question: We're writing a screenplay and need to find out some specifics with regard to blood tests.
If a young girl (15) goes to the ER because she woke up bleeding profusely from her vagina, would the doctor order some blood tests, and if so, is a pregnancy test included in that panel of tests? Or does a pregnancy test have to be ordered separately?

Hello and welcome to XXXXXXX
Thank you for writing to us.
Yes, the doctor will always order a full blood count in all cases of profuse vaginal bleeding.
No, a pregnancy test is not included in this panel, and if suspected it will be ordered separately, as the first few conditions suspected will be conditions like:
-Infections
-Trauma
-Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)
-Dysfunctional uterine bleeding
-Fibroids
-Polyps
-Hypothyroidism
and a few others. Although pregnancy status is inquired about, it will be checked eventually, not immediately though.
I hope you found my response helpful and informative. Do write back to me for any further clarifications, or you could rate my answers after closing this discussion.
Best wishes.
