The term “menstrual period” is generally used to refer to a woman’s period. It is possible to have an ultrasound before menstruation, but it may not affect the results of the test, or there may be a certain rate of misdiagnosis, and it is not possible to make generalizations about the quality of the test.
If a woman has an ultrasound before her period to measure the size of uterine fibroids or adenomyosis, this will not affect the results of the test, and the ultrasound is good.
Women who have ultrasound examination before menstruation, if it is to measure the thickness of the uterine lining, whether there are proliferations in the uterine lining, whether there are ovarian cysts, etc., there may be a certain misdiagnosis rate if ultrasound is performed when menstruation is about to come, and the uterine lining is thicker before menstruation, which may cover up abnormal echogenicity of the uterine lining.
If the patient needs ultrasound examination, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time and choose the appropriate examination items and examination time under the guidance of a professional doctor in order to make a clear diagnosis.
