Doctors conduct several diagnostic and therapeutic procedures to get to the root of your symptoms. The objective here is to find the cause and treat it. Many diseases can have common symptoms; hence, extensive tests on body fluids are important. These tests are considered LAB tests since the body fluids are extracted and then sent to the lab where they are studied. Lab tests include blood tests, urine tests, stool tests, swab tests etc. Doctors conduct certain imaging scans besides lab tests to get a clear picture of abnormalities inside the body causing symptoms like pain, bleeding etc. Imaging tests usually consist of MRI scans, CT scans, X-rays etc. The doctor will prescribe a scan based on the nature and location where the symptoms have originated. Doctors order biopsies when body fluids and scans aren't enough to reveal the exact cause of the symptom. In a biopsy, tissue is removed and tested in the lab to determine the cause of the symptoms.
