When doing transvaginal ultrasound in the early stages of pregnancy, since the instrument can be closer to the uterus and ovaries, and the probe is more functional, clearer images can be seen, and even some very small lesions can be seen.

Vaginal ultrasound can detect the blood flow of the uterus and ovaries. It is more suitable for examining some small lesions such as the endometrium, as well as follicular development and observing early ectopic pregnancy.

With the continuous advancement of science and technology, and the level of medical technology is also constantly improving, transvaginal ultrasound can more clearly see potential small lesions in the female body. But there is another problem. When doing transvaginal ultrasound, if there is a man present, women will be more taboo. Even though there is a patient on one side and a doctor on the other, there is still a distinction between men and women. Women will be very embarrassed when meeting a male doctor.

If a woman is really taboo about it, or has never had sex, it is better to use abdominal B-ultrasound. After all, the instrument needs to be placed in the private parts, and even if she is relaxed, she will not be able to act as if nothing is wrong.
