What Is Transvaginal Ultrasound?
Transvaginal Ultrasound is a medical imaging procedure that uses sound waves to create detailed images of the female pelvic organs, including the uterus, ovaries, cervix, and fallopian tubes. This safe and radiation-free procedure helps diagnose conditions like ovarian cysts, fibroids, and ectopic pregnancies, monitor early pregnancy, investigate infertility, and identify the cause of pelvic pain or abnormal bleeding.
How It Works
During a Transvaginal Ultrasound, a slender ultrasound probe, covered with a sterile single-use sheath and coated with a special lubricating gel, is gently inserted into the vagina while you lie on your back with bent knees. The probe emits high-frequency sound waves that bounce off pelvic organs, such as the uterus, ovaries, cervix, and fallopian tubes. These sound waves are then converted into real-time images on a monitor, allowing the doctor at our affiliated clinic to closely examine the organs for any abnormalities. This internal approach provides clearer, more detailed images than a traditional abdominal ultrasound, especially for early pregnancy and pelvic conditions.
Transvaginal Ultrasound Procedure
1. Consultation and assessment will be conducted.
2. Patients will lie on an examining table with knees bent.
3. The ultrasound probe will be covered and lubricated.
4. Images of pelvis organs will be captured and viewed.
5. The probe will be carefully removed.
6. Post-care instructions and recommendations will be provided.
