Can I do color Doppler ultrasound when preparing for pregnancy?

When preparing for pregnancy, female friends will be very careful about their physical condition. If any problems arise, they will go to the hospital for a detailed examination. In this way, they can know whether their current body is suitable for pregnancy and prevent any impact. Then, when preparing for pregnancy, you can do a color ultrasound. This is also an essential gynecological examination. It is best to do a comprehensive examination.

Breast color Doppler ultrasound is mainly used for the differential diagnosis of breast fibroids and breast cancer, while the eyeball has better diagnostic value for ocular vascular lesions.

Prostate and seminal vesicles

This method divides the prostate into the transitional zone, central zone, peripheral zone, and another part of the prostate fibromuscular matrix zone.

The transition zone includes both sides of the urethral sphincter and the abdomen, which is the origin of 100% of benign prostatic hyperplasia, while in normal people the transition zone only accounts for 5% of the size of the prostate.

The central zone is around the ejaculatory duct, with the apical wall pointing to the seminal duct. The peripheral zone includes the posterior part of the prostate and the apex on both sides, which is the origin of 70-80% of cancers. The capsule at the apex is thin or even disappears, forming an anatomical weak area, which is a common metastasis channel for cancer and a key area for prostate biopsy. Rectal exploration has good diagnostic value for various prostate and seminal vesicle diseases. When combined with prostate biopsy, a clear diagnosis can be basically made.

The incidence of prostate diseases, especially prostate cancer, is on the rise in my country. The incidence of prostate cancer in Europe and the United States is even behind lung cancer, making it the second most common cancer. However, abdominal prostate exploration is basically unable to make a diagnosis, so it is recommended to use rectal B-ultrasound to diagnose prostate diseases clinically. If rectal exploration can be used, there is no need for abdominal exploration.

Obstetrics and Gynecology

The main advantages of color Doppler ultrasound in obstetrics and gynecology are the differentiation of benign and malignant tumors and the evaluation of umbilical cord diseases, fetal congenital heart disease and placental function. It has better auxiliary diagnostic value for trophoblastic diseases, and can make diagnoses of infertility and pelvic varicose veins that are difficult to make with black and white Doppler ultrasound through blood flow spectrum observation. The use of a vaginal probe has certain advantages over abdominal exploration.

Real-time volume imaging is used to intuitively display complex cardiac anatomical structures, accurately evaluate cardiac function, and obtain multi-directional two-dimensional sections, which can provide important imaging information for cardiac surgery, cardiology, anesthesiology, catheterization laboratories, etc. It can obtain accurate three-dimensional images of the mitral valve structure, blood, and spatial anatomical relationships, provide intuitive information for surgical repair operations, and evaluate the effectiveness of interventional treatments.
