In addition to routine ultrasounds, we offer specialized gynecological ultrasounds for the diagnosis and monitoring of specific conditions, such as infertility, hormonal treatment follow-up, or ovarian reserve evaluation.
How is the gynecological ultrasound performed? The gynecological ultrasound is a non-invasive diagnostic procedure that uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of the pelvic organs. The ultrasound probe is moved over the lower abdomen with a conductive gel applied to the skin. This method provides a general view of the pelvic region and is normally used for general evaluations. Method of conducting the process Gynecological ultrasounds can be performed transabdominally (through the abdomen) or transvaginally, depending on the case. The exam is safe, quick, and painless or minimally uncomfortable. In both methods, we guarantee total respect for the patient's privacy and comfort, creating a welcoming and trustworthy environment. This format of gynecological ultrasound allows for comprehensive monitoring of pelvic and reproductive health, promoting accurate diagnoses and personalized care.
This type of exam is indicated when a general evaluation is not sufficient and a more in-depth study of a particular structure or condition is necessary.
While a routine ultrasound provides a general view of the pelvic organs, the specialized ultrasound focuses on a directed and in-depth analysis, with a longer examination time and the use of additional techniques, such as Doppler for evaluating ovarian and uterine blood flow, or detailed follicular count in the context of fertility. It is an exam designed to answer specific clinical questions, and not just for general screening, so it is usually requested by the attending physician after an initial evaluation, or directly in a specialized gynecology or infertility consultation.
General evaluation of the pelvic organs, indicated for annual check-ups or initial investigation of symptoms.
Directed and in-depth analysis of a specific structure or condition, using Doppler and follicular count.
Transabdominal or transvaginal, depending on the indication
Longer duration than routine ultrasound, due to detailed analysis
Facilitates the diagnosis of complex conditions with more detailed images than a general ultrasound would allow.
Helps to monitor the progress of specific gynecological treatments or conditions over time.
Provides essential information for planning the most appropriate treatment for each patient, avoiding unnecessary approaches.
Provides an objective answer about ovarian reserve and response to treatments, key information in medically assisted reproduction processes.
01
The doctor adapts the ultrasound to the patient's symptoms and medical history, focusing on the relevant areas for the case.
02
In cases of infertility, the ultrasound evaluates the quantity and development of follicles, indicating ovarian reserve.
03
For patients undergoing hormonal treatments, the ultrasound helps to control the impact and effectiveness of the treatment.
04
In specific cases, a transvaginal ultrasound is performed, which allows for a more detailed view of the pelvic organs.
05
When indicated, the ovarian and uterine blood flow is evaluated, relevant data in cases of infertility or suspected vascular changes.
It is recommended to present with a relatively full bladder.
The exam is more comfortable with an empty bladder.
It is not necessary to fast. If the exam is being done as part of a fertility study, the doctor may indicate a specific day of the menstrual cycle for its realization, in order to obtain the most relevant information.
No. They are complementary exams: routine gives a general view, specialized deepens a specific aspect previously identified or requested by clinical indication.
In Aeger Prima, the exam can be scheduled as part of a gynecology consultation, where the doctor assesses whether this is the most suitable modality for your case.
Yes. It is one of the most used tools in the evaluation of ovarian reserve and in monitoring the response to medically assisted reproduction treatments.
It usually takes longer than a routine ultrasound, since it involves a more detailed analysis of specific structures, but the doctor always informs the expected duration before starting the exam.
In most cases, the doctor analyzes the images and discusses the results with the patient during the same consultation, explaining the findings and, if necessary, proposing the next steps of the treatment plan. In situations that require a second opinion or more in-depth analysis, the doctor may schedule a return consultation dedicated to discussing the results.
