Uterus Evaluation: Pelvic Ultrasound

Our clinic uses transvaginal ultrasound to evaluate the uterus, tubes, and ovaries. The probe on the transvaginal ultrasound is less than an inch in diameter and should cause less discomfort than a routine speculum exam.

By using a vaginal probe instead of an abdominal probe we are able to obtain images that are very clear and show very small details.

Transvaginal ultrasounds can detect uterine fibroids, hydrosalpinx, endometrial thickness, ovarian cysts, as well as other abnormalities which may require further evaluation and treatment.

Transvaginal ultrasound is also very useful in viewing pregnancies as early as six and a half weeks from last menses (four and a half weeks from conception). By this time a heartbeat is detectable by ultrasound.

During the monitoring phase of treatment you will have several ultrasounds to evaluate progress.
