Pelvic Ultrasound rarely appeared in the basic gynecological examination plan in the past. Its main function is to check the uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes to determine whether there are any changes in female reproductive organs. In addition to uterine fibroids, this test can also detect ovarian cysts, endometriosis, endometrial cancer, and even ovarian cancer with no obvious early symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It should be known that among gynecological cancers, ovarian cancer is the most likely to delay treatment, and it is also known as the "invisible killer". Because the early symptoms of ovarian cancer are easily confused with gastrointestinal discomfort, patients unconsciously ignore the disease. Often when obvious symptoms appear, it is already in the third or fourth stage, that is, the tumor has shown signs of spreading. Even if patients with advanced ovarian cancer receive chemotherapy and hysterectomy, there is still a chance of recurrence, which greatly reduces the effectiveness of treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pelvic ultrasound is radiation-free and can be performed either transabdominal or transvaginal. The former is a non-invasive examination and is suitable for any woman, especially those who have no sexual experience or pregnant women in the middle and late stages of pregnancy. Before the examination, you need to drink a lot of water to inflate the bladder and push the small intestine and large intestine away from the bottom of the abdominal cavity, which prevent the ultrasound from penetrating. The urine in the bladder also helps the reflection of the ultrasound, so that the ultrasound can easily penetrate the bladder and irradiate to the patient. The uterus and ovaries in the rear produce a clear image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As for pelvic ultrasonography performed through the vagina, there is no need to urinate, and the probe is inserted into the vagina to obtain the ultrasound reflection directly, so the image will be clearer; however, it may cause discomfort when the probe is inserted into the vagina, and the doctor will depend on the individual According to the needs, which form of inspection is recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If women can detect potential hidden dangers, such as ovarian cancer or other serious gynecological diseases, and receive timely treatment including surgery and drugs, it will definitely help improve their chances of recovery. Therefore, women should consider adding pelvic ultrasonography to regular gynecological examinations to prevent problems before they happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
