Is vaginal ultrasound harmful to the body?

With the rapid development of medical technology, new situations have begun to emerge in B-ultrasound examinations during pregnancy, and more and more women are joining the ranks of vaginal ultrasound. So, what is vaginal ultrasound? Is transvaginal ultrasound harmful to the human body? Let’s learn about it below.

Will vaginal ultrasound cause any harm to women?

Vaginal ultrasound in the early stages of pregnancy can provide clearer images and even reveal some minor lesions because the instrument can be closer to the uterus and ovaries and the camera is more versatile.

Vaginal ultrasound can detect the blood conditions of the uterus and ovaries. Vaginal ultrasound is more suitable for examining some small diseases of the uterine wall, as well as conditions such as uterine development and early observation of ectopic pregnancy.

Today's scientific and technological progress has been greatly strengthened, and the diagnostic and treatment technology capabilities are also continuously improving. Vaginal ultrasound can more clearly see potential minor diseases in women's bodies. But there is another problem. When doing transvaginal ultrasound, if there is a man present, women will be more shy. Although there is a patient on one side and a doctor on the other, there is still a difference between men and women. Women will be very embarrassed when meeting a male gynecologist.

If a woman is really very shy, or has not experienced sexual intercourse, it is better to use abdominal B-ultrasound when doing B-ultrasound. After all, the part where the instrument needs to be placed is a private part, and even if the pressure is relaxed, it will not be as if nothing happened.

Will it be painful to do a vaginal ultrasound for the first time?

Generally speaking, the first time you do a vaginal ultrasound, it won't cause pain, but there will be some swelling. Don't be nervous, just relax, it will only take a few minutes. Of course, only women who have experienced sexual intercourse can do a vaginal ultrasound.
