Can B-ultrasound show uterine erosion?

Cervical erosion is a very common gynecological disease, but B-ultrasound cannot detect cervical erosion. However, if you suffer from cervical erosion, your body will generally show some symptoms. If you want to know whether you have cervical erosion, you can check it through a colposcopy. If you unfortunately suffer from cervical erosion, you must seek treatment in time, otherwise it will lead to worsening of the disease, and in severe cases it will affect women's fertility.

Can B-ultrasound detect cervical erosion?

Cervical erosion needs to be confirmed by colposcopy to determine whether it is infected. Ultrasound cannot detect cervical erosion. Colposcopy is a method of directly observing the cervix by magnifying it 10-40 times under a strong light source in order to detect smaller lesions that are invisible to the naked eye and to determine the extent of cervical erosion.

Symptoms of mild cervical erosion: Mild cervical erosion generally has no obvious symptoms, but some may experience increased vaginal discharge, yellow color, stickiness and odor, etc. Depending on the cause of the infection in women, the quality, quantity and color of leucorrhea will also change. Since the symptoms of mild cervical erosion are not very obvious, they are often ignored by women.

Symptoms of moderate cervical erosion: Patients with moderate cervical erosion often experience increased leucorrhea, which is yellow, sticky and has an odor. When inflammation irritates the vulva, it can also cause itching. When the eroded surface becomes obviously congested, bright red or easily bleeds, there will be contact bleeding during sexual intercourse and irregular vaginal bleeding.

Symptoms of severe cervical erosion: Patients with severe cervical erosion will have increased vaginal discharge, which will be yellow in color, sticky in texture and have a foul odor. Inflammatory vaginal discharge can also cause itching if it stimulates the vulva for a long time. The color, state, and quality of leucorrhea may vary depending on the pathogen. Therefore, some severe symptoms of cervical erosion may include blood in the leucorrhea, and sometimes contact bleeding and irregular vaginal bleeding after sexual intercourse, accompanied by symptoms such as frequent urination and urgency.

How long does it take to do an ultrasound during pregnancy?

How long does it take to do an ultrasound during pregnancy? Under normal circumstances, pregnant mothers should have an ultrasound examination in the early stages of pregnancy (around 12 weeks). Pregnant mothers should avoid having B-ultrasounds too early or too many times. Doing an ultrasound too early may cause the fragile, newly formed embryo to be shaken, which is not conducive to embryonic development. B-ultrasound in early pregnancy is to confirm whether the pregnancy is ongoing and how many days the pregnancy has lasted, to provide a reliable basis for determining the expected date of delivery, and to promptly detect any abnormalities in embryonic development.

The second B-ultrasound examination is usually scheduled in the middle of pregnancy (around 20 weeks of pregnancy). At this time, there is relatively more amniotic fluid in the uterus, the fetus is of moderate size, and there is a large space for movement in the uterus. For B-ultrasound examination, there is better contrast, and the various organs of the fetus can be clearly seen. More obvious malformations, such as congenital heart disease, anencephaly, hydrocephalus, spina bifida, abdominal wall defect, short limbs, polycystic kidney disease, and gastrointestinal atresia are easy to detect. If necessary, timely treatment or termination of pregnancy can be carried out.

The third B-ultrasound examination should be arranged in the late pregnancy (around 28 weeks of pregnancy), mainly to understand the development of the fetus in the uterus and to check again whether the fetus has any malformations. Because some diseases may not be discovered in time during the second trimester of pregnancy by ultrasound examination.

If the pregnant mother has not given birth two weeks after the due date, the doctor may recommend another B-ultrasound to understand the condition of the placenta, amniotic fluid, fetal position, etc., which will help the doctor decide which delivery method is safe.
