GlossaryOvarian Vein Sampling

medical procedure collecting blood from veins draining ovaries

Ovarian Vein Sampling is a medical procedure used to collect blood directly from the veins draining the ovaries. This technique helps in diagnosing conditions related to hormone production, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or hormone-secreting tumors. By analyzing the blood from these veins, doctors can get a more accurate picture of ovarian function and hormone levels.
