Transvaginal

Transvaginal examination is an advanced imaging procedure that assesses the female reproductive organs with precision, providing detailed images of the vagina, cervix, uterus, and ovaries. This test is typically performed using a probe inserted into the vagina, allowing for accurate evaluation of conditions such as ovarian cysts, uterine fibroids, and pelvic inflammatory disease, making it essential for early detection and effective management of gynecological issues.

It is recommended at 6-14 weeks during early pregnancy, as well as early in the menstrual cycle and during the cycle for infertility evaluations. The ultrasound should also be conducted as needed for gynecological concerns like abnormal bleeding, pelvic pain, endometriosis, or postmenopausal bleeding. Additionally, it can be part of an annual exam for those with a history of gynecological issues, and is useful for monitoring PCOS and assessing known ovarian cysts or tumors. Regular monitoring is advised for evaluating infection and inflammation in suspected pelvic inflammatory disease. For personalized scheduling, consult your healthcare provider.
