Irregular menstruation asked me to do anal ultrasound

For women with menstrual disorders, in addition to checking the six sex hormones, it is also necessary to check whether there are organic diseases in the female genitals. For women who have no sexual life, only abdominal color ultrasound or anal B-ultrasound is needed. However, abdominal color Doppler ultrasound usually requires holding back a lot of urine, and the uterus may not be clearly visible due to its poor position. Therefore, patients must go to a reliable hospital to check the actual condition and have a professional doctor diagnose the condition and then provide treatment.

Is it normal for me to have an anal ultrasound due to irregular menstruation?

I had irregular menstruation and asked her to do an anal ultrasound, and everything was normal. Generally speaking, anal B-ultrasound is suitable for single women with irregular menstruation.

Rectal B-ultrasound is also more suitable for women whose genital lesions cannot be detected by abdominal ultrasound, who have difficulty holding urine, or who have a posterior uterus. The best time to do anal ultrasound examination is 3 to 7 days after the end of menstruation. It is generally not recommended to do color ultrasound examination during menstruation. There are many causes of irregular menstruation in clinical medicine, such as gynecological organic lesions, endocrine and neurological dysfunction, some systemic diseases, and drugs.

It is recommended that women with irregular menstruation go to a local regular hospital for regular check-ups and treatment as soon as possible. Usually establish good living habits, avoid excessive fatigue and staying up late for a long time during menstruation, and ensure adequate sleep.
