Vaginal ultrasound refers to vaginal ultrasound, which is a diagnostic ultrasound that involves placing an ultrasound probe into the vagina or rectum for diagnostic ultrasound, and is suitable for looking at pelvic organs such as the uterus and ovaries.
There is no need to hold your urine for a vaginal ultrasound, complete with one pant leg removed, lying on an examination mattress towel with your legs flexed and spread apart, fully exposing the perineum, sometimes the patient’s hands are needed to hold their knees as close to their chest as possible for full exposure.
The examiner will place a disposable condom over the ultrasound probe to avoid cross-contamination and apply lubricant. The examiner wears disposable examination gloves and moves the probe with the handle. For women who are sexually active, the ultrasound probe is usually inserted through the vagina, or through the anus if the patient is not yet sexually active. The patient should be as relaxed as possible and may take deep breaths to relieve tension.
Vaginal ultrasound can assist in the diagnosis of uterine tumors, ovarian cysts and other gynecological diseases, but also to observe ovulation, diagnose early pregnancy or ectopic pregnancy, etc., which is clinically important.
If you have any other questions, it is recommended to consult a professional doctor for guidance.
