Transvaginal ultrasound

Transvaginal ultrasound (US) of the pelvic organs is a modern diagnostic method that allows for a detailed assessment of the uterus, ovaries, cervix, and surrounding tissues in women. This imaging technique is performed using a specialized probe inserted into the vagina, ensuring high-precision visualization and enabling the detection of even minor changes in the organs.

The main advantage of this method lies in its high informativeness. This type of ultrasound allows for a clear view of the pelvic organs without interference from the skin or intestines, which is particularly crucial for the early detection of gynecological conditions.

Transvaginal ultrasound is recommended for symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, irregular menstrual cycles, abnormal bleeding, or suspected tumors. It is also frequently used to monitor a woman’s health during the early stages of pregnancy.

At the “NEW LIFE” clinic, transvaginal pelvic ultrasound is performed by experienced specialists using state-of-the-art equipment, ensuring high diagnostic accuracy and maximum comfort for patients.

The procedure takes approximately 15–20 minutes and requires no special preparation. The patient lies on a gynecological examination chair while the doctor inserts a specialized ultrasound probe into the vagina. For hygiene and comfort, the probe is covered with a sterile disposable sheath and lubricated with gel.

This method provides high-resolution images because the probe is positioned in close proximity to the pelvic organs. During the examination, the doctor evaluates the structure of the uterus, endometrial thickness, the condition of the ovaries, and the presence of cysts or other abnormalities.

A key advantage of this technique is not only its accuracy but also its minimal invasiveness. The procedure is completely safe, painless, and can be performed on women of all ages, except for those who are not sexually active.

It is important to note that the timing of the examination should align with specific days of the menstrual cycle, typically 5–7 days after menstruation ends. This timing is due to physiological factors that may affect result interpretation.

1. High accuracy, enabling the detection of even minor abnormalities.
2. Painless procedure, ensuring patient comfort without requiring surgical intervention.
3. Versatility, as the test is suitable for diagnosing most gynecological conditions.
4. Safety, as the procedure does not involve radiation exposure, unlike X-rays, and can be performed multiple times per year.

Thanks to these advantages, transvaginal pelvic ultrasound is widely used for diagnosing endometriosis, uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, and other conditions. This method is also employed to monitor the condition of pelvic organs after surgical interventions or during treatment.

Additionally, transvaginal ultrasound is recommended as a preventive measure. Regular examinations help detect potential issues in a timely manner and prevent their progression.

Transvaginal pelvic ultrasound is prescribed for various indications, including:

• Lower abdominal or lower back pain.
• Menstrual irregularities.
• Suspected cysts, fibroids, or polyps.
• Abnormal bleeding outside the menstrual cycle.
• Pregnancy planning or monitoring.

This procedure is also essential for diagnosing inflammatory conditions such as endometritis or adnexitis. Transvaginal gynecological ultrasound helps detect tumors at an early stage when treatment is most effective.

A doctor may also recommend this test to evaluate the condition of the uterus and ovaries after surgery or in cases of suspected pelvic adhesions. Due to its high accuracy, this method provides a detailed clinical picture even in complex cases.

To ensure the most accurate results, proper preparation for the procedure is important. While extensive preparation is generally unnecessary, following these simple recommendations can improve diagnostic accuracy:

1. Avoid gas-producing foods (such as beans, cabbage, and carbonated drinks) the day before the test.
2. Empty the bladder before the procedure to enhance comfort during the examination.
3. The optimal time for transvaginal pelvic ultrasound is 5–7 days after menstruation.

Adhering to these guidelines helps the doctor obtain the clearest images and make an accurate diagnosis.
