Why is the curitas test done?


Answer:
Cirug铆a de curitas is the Spanish term for Pelvic laparoscopy. It is used both for diagnosis and for treatment and may be recommended for:Pelvic pain due to:
Uterine tissue found outside the uterus in the abdomen (endometriosis)
Infections (pelvic inflammatory disease) not responsive to drug therapy
Suspected twisting (torsion) of an ovary
Ovarian cyst
Scar tissue (adhesions) in pelvis
Perforation (puncture) of the uterus following D and C or by an IUD
Evaluation of infertility
Sterilization (tubal ligation)
Evaluation and removal of an abnormal pelvic mass that was confirmed by abdominal ultrasound
Removal of uterine fibroids (myomectomy)
Removal of uterus (hysterectomy)
Surgical treatment of tubal pregnancy
Evaluation of a woman who may have appendicitis or salpingitis
It's a twelve minute test , basically done with litmus paper and a few drops of the persons blood, and can tell you if you are HIV positive instead of waiting three to four weeks for results. It can also be used for other things as Sandy below me has stated. But in general it is used as I said ,as a quick means to a HIV test...
