A member asked:

Would a hormone test show if my 16 year old daughter had no uterus or ovaries? hasn't started periods. u/s showed no uterus, waiting to have an mri

X-Ray better: Hormone levels will be low if the ovaries are missing or non-functioning. An x-ray (ct, ultrasound, mri) will tell if the organs are missing.

You're on the right: track with what you have scheduled.The congenital absence of part/most or all of the internal structures is rare but happens.Each case varies in its degree.MRI allows a good look at the internal structures without exposing her to radiation. Hormones can be normal in the absence of many of these structures but are commonly checked when a girl has not had menses by 15.
