It will help support the doctor in making a solid diagnosis, plan a future treatment path for you, prescribe your follow-up tests and monitor your health going forward.

When Does a Doctor Suggest a Lab Test?
When you visit a doctor, they will suggest a lab test to you in one of the following conditions:
- You explain to them certain symptoms and signs you have been experiencing. After conducting a physical examination, they will suggest a few lab tests to rule out possibilities and narrow down on one particular issue for their diagnosis.
- When a patient is already undergoing treatment for a diagnosed health condition, the doctor will prescribe monitoring tests to determine if the current treatment path is working in your favour.
- Screening tests are also recommended by a general physician every few months as a form of preventive healthcare. This is especially necessary if you have a history of pre-existing illnesses or come from a family with a history of illnesses.
How to Prepare for a Lab Test?
