Contraindications of transvaginal ultrasound

Some gynecological diseases can only be detected through transvaginal ultrasound. For example, uterine fibroids and uterine and ovarian tumors can be detected through transvaginal ultrasound. You can't do a transvaginal ultrasound whenever you want. Let me tell you, what are the common problems before vaginal ultrasound examination?

When women undergo vaginal ultrasound, they usually have the following problems. First, before the examination, they must empty their bladder and urinate completely. If there is too much urine in the bladder, when the transvaginal ultrasound probe is inserted, it may irritate the bladder and cause uncontrolled urine overflow. And after the vaginal ultrasound examination, you need to use paper to wipe the secretions from the vagina, because when doing the vaginal ultrasound, you need to apply coupling agent on the vaginal ultrasound camera. On the night after the transvaginal ultrasound examination, it is best to clean the vulva before having sex to prevent infection during intercourse.

Generally, a basic gynecological examination is done first, and then the vaginal ultrasound examination is carried out. The advantages of transvaginal ultrasound examination are that it is reliable, has clear images and is highly accurate.
