Vaginal ultrasound is an ultrasound scan of the female reproductive organs. It provides a clear image of the uterus, cervix, and ovaries. Vaginal ultrasound is also known as internal ultrasound or transvaginal ultrasound.
This type of scan is used to detect any abnormalities in the uterus, cervix, endometrium, fallopian tubes, ovaries, bladder, or pelvic cavity.
Advantages of Vaginal Ultrasound
Vaginal ultrasound offers many advantages. It is a completely painless procedure and does not involve radiation, making it extremely safe. The high-frequency sound waves produce very detailed images, allowing visualization of even the smallest internal structures.
When Is Vaginal Ultrasound Needed?
A doctor may recommend a vaginal ultrasound for women who experience pelvic pain or abnormal bleeding. It is also used to examine:
- Uterine fibroids (myomas)
- Polyps
- Ovarian cysts
- Infertility
- Early pregnancy monitoring
A doctor may also suggest transvaginal ultrasound during pregnancy to:
- Monitor the fetal heartbeat
- Check for changes in the cervix that could lead to complications such as miscarriage or preterm birth
- Identify the source of abnormal bleeding
- Confirm early pregnancy
Vaginal ultrasound provides immediate results. After analyzing the images, the radiologist sends the report to your attending physician.
