Transvaginal Ultrasound

Transvaginal ultrasound is a breakthrough in the application of ultrasound in obstetrics and gynecology in recent years. It can clearly show the internal organ structure of female pelvic cavity, compared with traditional transabdominal ultrasound, without filling the bladder, and for normal and abnormal pregnancy and gynecology The diagnosis of the disease has the characteristics of early and accurate. Transvaginal ultrasound has been widely used in recent years and is constantly being improved because it provides a more reliable early diagnosis basis for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of normal and various gynecological diseases. Basic Information Specialist classification: gynecological examination classification: ultrasound Applicable gender: whether women are fasting: not fasting Tips: Before the examination, the patient urinates and takes the bladder lithotomy position. Normal value There is no abnormal change in the uterus and ovaries or normal pregnancy. Clinical significance Abnormal results: (gynecology) First, the normal menstrual cycle endometrial sonogram and normal ovarian mature and immature follicles (so-called "ovulation"). Second, benign tumors of the uterus. Third, uterine malignant tumors. Fourth, the ovarian non-neoplastic cyst. Fifth, ovarian tumors. (obstetrics) First, early diagnosis of early pregnancy. Second, abnormal early pregnancy, especially ectopic pregnancy (ie "ectopic pregnancy") because ectopic pregnancy is a clinical emergency, rescue is not timely and also death, so this is particularly meaningful. Need to check the crowd: maternal checkups or gynecologists need to assist in the diagnosis of uterine and ovarian diseases. Precautions Contraindications before the examination: usually after the routine gynecological examination. Note when checking: 嘱 patients urinate, take the bladder lithotomy position. Inspection process Inspection Method: Use a disposable condom to cover the inside and outside of the vaginal probe cover with a disinfectant coupling agent. The operator wears gloves, holds the probe handle in the right, and slowly sends the probe into the vaginal canal. Tilt, push and pull, and rotate the probe handle during operation to observe the entire pelvic structure. Advantages: Transvaginal ultrasound compared with traditional transabdominal ultrasound, the probe almost directly touches the scanning organ, shortening the distance between the probe and the organ being examined; due to the vaginal structure relaxation, the operator can improve the image resolution; for the intestinal tract more, more obese Women can avoid intestinal gas interference and attenuation of abdominal fat layer; traditional transabdominal ultrasound requires patients to 3-4 hours before urinating and start drinking water, drinking water is equivalent to about 2-3 bottles of mineral water, making patients very hard It is not good for emergency, but transvaginal ultrasound does not require filling the bladder. Transvaginal ultrasound has been widely used in recent years and is constantly being improved because it provides a more reliable early diagnosis basis for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of normal and various gynecological diseases. Not suitable for the crowd Vaginal bleeding should not be carried out. Adverse reactions and risks No complications.
