Diagnostic Inquiry

Meaning

Diagnostic inquiry is the systematic, evidence-based process employed by a clinician to investigate a patient’s symptoms, physiological markers, and medical history to arrive at a precise, clinically actionable understanding of their health status. In the hormonal health space, this often involves a detailed exploration of subtle endocrine symptoms, the temporal patterns of hormone fluctuations, and the integration of advanced laboratory testing. A thorough diagnostic inquiry moves beyond surface symptoms to identify the root cause of hormonal dysregulation.
