Uses of Ultrasound in the Reproductive System

• Pregnancy Monitoring: To check the development of the fetus, monitor the baby's heartbeat, and assess the amount of amniotic fluid.
• Diagnosing Conditions: To identify issues such as ovarian cysts, uterine fibroids, and other abnormalities in the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes
• Guiding Procedures: To assist in procedures like biopsies or the placement of intrauterine devices (IUDs).
• Evaluating Symptoms: To investigate symptoms such as pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding, or infertility.

Procedure Details

• Preparation: Depending on the type of ultrasound, you might need to have a full bladder. Your healthcare provider will give specific instructions.
• During the Scan: A gel is applied to the skin over the area being examined. A transducer (probe) is moved over the skin, emitting sound waves that bounce off internal structures and create images on a screen
• Transvaginal Ultrasound: For a more detailed view, a transvaginal ultrasound might be performed, where the probe is inserted into the vagina
