Will vaginal ultrasound transmit any disease?

That is, intravaginal B-ultrasound, also known as intracavitary B-ultrasound, is a method of placing the B-ultrasound camera into the vagina or duodenum for ultrasonic diagnosis. It is very suitable for observing pelvic organs in the pelvis, monitoring ovulation, diagnosing ectopic pregnancy, uterine space-occupying diseases, and diagnosing polycystic ovary syndrome and chocolate cysts.

A camera is added to the ultrasound machine and covered with a thin film. The doctor or the patient himself inserts the camera into the vagina for examination, mainly examining the cervix and uterine wall.

The biggest advantage of intravaginal color Doppler ultrasound is that it does not require holding urine, and because it is close to the uterus and ovaries, the image is clear and the resolution is high, and the examination results are more accurate than abdominal ultrasound.

Scope of application of vaginal ultrasound examination

1. The sonographic manifestations of the uterine wall during a normal menstrual cycle and the perfect and immature follicles in the normal uterus and ovaries (the so-called "ovulation detection").

2. Good uterine tumor:

(1) Adenomyosis;

(2) Uterine fibroids.

3. Uterine malignant tumor:

(1) Endometrial cancer;

(2) Cervical cancer.

4. Non-neoplastic cysts of the uterus and ovaries:

(1) Polycystic ovary syndrome;

(2) Chocolate cyst.

5. Uterine and ovarian tumors.

6. Confirm the diagnosis of early pregnancy as soon as possible.

7. Abnormal early pregnancy, especially ectopic pregnancy (i.e. "ectopic pregnancy"), is a clinical medical crisis and may lead to death if not treated promptly.

Reduction of transvaginal ultrasound examination defects

It is not suitable for people with vaginal bleeding, such as menstrual period or non-menstrual vaginal bleeding. It is also not suitable for people with infectious diseases, such as vaginitis and sexually transmitted diseases. It should also be used with caution for people with other cervical, vaginal, and private part diseases to avoid infection and bleeding.

Determining the image orientation

The display of bilateral uterus and ovaries shows that the internal structure is significantly clearer compared with abdominal ultrasound. Multiple immature follicles can be seen in the photo.

How to find the uterus and ovaries

Generally, the uterus and ovaries are located on both sides of the uterine horn.

Pushing the camera along the outside of the uterus is the key to finding

If it is really difficult to find, you can roughly determine the location of the ovaries through the abdomen, and then search through the vagina.

Vaginal ultrasound examination

Color Doppler ultrasound examination is harmless and has good repeatability, and can display the pelvic organs in detail. Therefore, its examination has occupied an important position in the diagnosis of obstetrics and gynecology and family planning policy.

Transvaginal color Doppler ultrasound is developed on the basis of abdominal ultrasound. Because it uses a special camera and approaches the pelvis through the vagina, its resolution is clearer, and the patient does not need to flush the bladder, so it is simple and easy. It can clearly display the microstructure of the pelvic organs, especially for the early detection, diagnosis and treatment of pelvic organ diseases, which are better than abdominal ultrasound. Therefore, its application in clinical medicine has brought the diagnosis of gynecological diseases to an important development trend.
