Women's Health Management
Hormone & Fertility Testing
The female hormone cycle is complex and changes naturally through life stages such as puberty, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and menopause, making hormone testing especially important in women’s health management. TriCore offers a comprehensive test menu to evaluate the female hormone cycle and androgen imbalance, as well as thyroid hormone testing.
HPV - Cervical Cancer Screening & Detection
TriCore offers a variety of cervical cancer screening tests, including two FDA-approved liquid-based Pap tests: ThinPrep & Surepath. A cytotechnologist screens every slide, and a pathologist reviews each abnormal Pap. Additionally, molecular HPV screening augments our manual Pap screening as a primary test or reflex option. Finally, TriCore offers surgical pathology services for colposcopies and biopsies.
Vaginitis & Sexually Transmitted Infections
Vaginitis and untreated sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including gonorrhea, chlamydia, and Trichomonas, can lead to serious conditions, including pelvic inflammatory disease, ectopic pregnancy, or infertility. Because vaginitis and untreated STIs may be linked to chronic reproductive problems, these tests are also valuable in workups for patients with reproductive issues. TriCore offers results for vaginitis and three of the most common STIs, all from a single sample collection.
