Text 
Lab tests are performed prior to surgery to assess if any contraindications to the procedure are present. Urine test: human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) to detect pregnancy, which becomes positive approximately 1 week after conception. Even if the test result is negative, the patient can possibly still be pregnant. For this reason, sterilization is best performed in the first few days of the menstrual cycle. Urine analysis to rule out urinary tract infections Complete haemogram to rule out anemia and bleeding tendencies. Gonorrhea and chlamydia screening to rule out pelvic infections Ultrasonography may be indicated when a pelvic mass is detected during the preoperative clinical examination |
