USG TVS
Doctors and scientists working in pathology are experts in illness and disease. They use their expertise to support every aspect of healthcare, from guiding doctors on the right way to treat common diseases, to using cutting-edge genetic technologies to treat patients with life.
An ultrasound test uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of your internal organs. Imaging tests can identify abnormalities and help doctors diagnose conditions.
A transvaginal ultrasound, also called an endovaginal ultrasound, is a type of pelvic ultrasound used by doctors to examine female reproductive organs. This includes the uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, cervix, and vagina.
“Transvaginal” means “through the vagina.” This is an internal examination.
Unlike a regular abdominal or pelvic ultrasound, where the ultrasound wand (transducer) rests on the outside of the pelvis, this procedure involves your doctor or a technician inserting an ultrasound probe about 2 or 3 inches into your vaginal canal.
When is a transvaginal ultrasound performed?
There are many reasons why a transvaginal ultrasound might be necessary, including: an abnormal pelvic or abdominal exam unexplained vaginal bleeding pelvic pain an ectopic pregnancy (which occurs when the fetus implants outside of the uterus, usually in the fallopian tubes) infertility a check for cysts or uterine fibroids verification that an IUD is placed properly.
Your doctor might also recommend a transvaginal ultrasound during pregnancy to:- Monitor the heartbeat of the fetus look at the cervix for any changes that could lead to complications such as miscarriage or premature delivery examine the placenta for abnormalities identify the source of any abnormal bleeding diagnose a possible miscarriage confirm an early pregnancy.
