Detailed Gynaecological Ultrasounds
Routine gynecological ultrasound is recommended to monitor the health of pelvic organs and can be indicated for women of any age, especially in cases of symptoms such as pelvic pain, menstrual irregularities, or for the follow-up of gynecological conditions.
How is Gynecological Ultrasound performed?
A 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 an overview of the pelvic region and is typically used for general evaluations.
Why is it important to undergo this exam?
Routine gynecological ultrasounds are essential for maintaining women’s health by providing detailed and accurate insights into the condition of the pelvic organs. This exam is a cornerstone of women’s healthcare, offering reassurance, guidance, and the foundation for maintaining reproductive well-being throughout different life stages.
Benefits of Routine Gynecological Ultrasound:
- Early Detection of Anomalies: Enables the identification of structural changes in reproductive organs, often before symptoms appear.
- Monitoring of Chronic Conditions: Facilitates the follow-up of conditions such as endometriosis, fibroids, or cysts.
- Peace of Mind for the Patient: Provides a detailed evaluation of gynecological health, offering security and confidence in one’s well-being.
What is evaluated during Urinary Incontinence Treatment
Uterus Assessment:
The shape, size, and presence of alterations such as fibroids or other uterine masses are observed.
Ovaries Assessment:
The ovaries are examined to detect cysts, tumors, or other abnormalities.
Endometrium:
The thickness and structure of the endometrium, the tissue lining the uterus, are evaluated, particularly important in cases of irregular bleeding.
Fallopian Tubes:
Although not visible on ultrasound unless dilated, changes indicating infections or inflammation can be observed.
Blood Flow:
Using Doppler imaging, blood flow in pelvic organs is analyzed, aiding in the detection of abnormal conditions.
