R87.1: Abnormal findings in specimens from female genital organs Abnormal hormone levels
Fluid from your female genitals was examined. In this sample, the amount of messenger substances had changed.
The internal female genital organs include the uterus, the fallopian tubes and ovaries. The vagina is also one of the internal genital organs and goes from the uterus to the outside of the body. The external female genital organs include the labia, the clitoris and the skin around the vagina. Fluid from your uterus or vagina may have been examined, for example.
The sample of the examined fluid normally only contains a certain amount of different substances. These substances include certain cells and certain proteins, for example.
In your sample, the amount of a certain messenger substance had changed. Messenger substances regulate many functions in the body. Messenger substances are also called hormones.
If the amount of substances in the sample has changed, this can sometimes be an indication of disease. The results can also depend on when the sample is taken or how the sample is stored until it is examined, for example.
