Can ultrasound detect cervical problems?

Ultrasound is able to detect most of the problems of the cervix, for example: i. The anterior and posterior diameter of the cervix measured during the examination exceeds 3 cm, suggesting the presence of cervical hypertrophy and the presence of chronic cervicitis. Second, if an echogenic area is found in the cervix with a round or round-like shape and very clear borders, it indicates the presence of cervical cysts. If the cyst is large, it will cause infection when it ruptures and needs to be treated; if the cyst is few and small, it can be left untreated when there is no infection. Third, if there is a round-like, relatively small, slightly enhanced echogenicity with a clear border in the cervical canal, it indicates a cervical polyp. If there are solid nodular echogenicity with regular shape and regular edges at the cervix, it indicates the presence of cervical fibroids, which usually have no clinical symptoms when they are small. There is a kind of submucosal fibroids that can have menstrual dripping when they are dislodged into the cervical canal, which needs surgery. If the ultrasound shows irregular enlargement of the cervix, unsmooth appearance, uneven echogenicity, irregular vaginal bleeding and may be accompanied by ascites, it suggests the presence of cervical cancer. the problems that cannot be shown by ultrasound are cervical erosion, mild cervicitis and very small polyps of the cervix.
