2025/75 QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS

It indicates a serious infection
It is a sign of hormonal imbalance
It is a normal physiological response indicating healthy vaginal
function
It suggests the presence of a sexually transmitted infection
2. Explain the primary purpose of a transvaginal ultrasound in women's
health diagnostics.
To measure hormone levels
To visualize pelvic organs
To assess bone density
To perform a biopsy
3. A patient presents with symptoms of fatigue, weight gain, and irregular
menstrual cycles. Which diagnostic test would be most relevant to assess
her condition, and why?
Transvaginal ultrasound, to check for ovarian cysts
Serum B-hCG levels, to rule out pregnancy
Thyroid function test, to evaluate thyroid hormone levels
Colonoscopy, to investigate ulcerative colitis
4. A patient presents with unexplained pelvic pain and irregular menstrual
cycles. Which diagnostic procedure would be most appropriate to assess
,potential abnormalities in the pelvic organs, and why?
Transvaginal ultrasound, because it provides detailed images of the
pelvic organs
Serum B-hCG levels, because it measures pregnancy hormones CT

X-ray, because it can identify fractures
