Transvaginal ultrasound

Ultrasound, also known as sonography, is a diagnostic technique that uses sound waves (ultrasound) to create images of organs and tissues in the female genital area. It is a basic test for the early diagnosis of pathologies and gynecological disorders that affect the uterus, ovaries and cervix, among other organs, which can manifest as fibroids, malformations and certain types of cancer.

Transvaginal ultrasound

What does it consist of?

During the examination, the specialist moves the transducer over the area of the body to be studied, having previously applied a gel. This transducer sends sound waves (ultrasound) that “bounce” off different organs and tissues, forming the image.

To whom?

Your doctor may recommend a transvaginal ultrasound in the following cases:

Pelvic pain.
Visualization of abnormal alterations in a gynecological examination, such as cysts, fibroid tumors or other neoplasms.
Abnormal vaginal bleeding and menstrual problems.
Certain types of infertility.
Ectopic pregnancy.
