Vaginal ultrasound revealed infection

Vaginal ultrasound is a common examination method nowadays and is also a way to examine the female reproductive system. Vaginal ultrasound examination is mainly performed through the female vagina, so many people are worried about getting infected after doing it. In fact, since a disposable condom will be covered on the probe during vaginal ultrasound examination, infection will not occur. Next, I will introduce you to some relevant knowledge about vaginal ultrasound!

1. Will vaginal ultrasound cause infection?

Vaginal ultrasound is the abbreviation of vaginal B-ultrasound, also known as intracavitary B-ultrasound. It is a method of ultrasonic diagnosis by inserting the B-ultrasound probe into the vagina or rectum. It is particularly suitable for observing pelvic organs in the small pelvis. For vaginal ultrasound examination, the probe used is not disposable. However, there is a disposable condom in front of the probe. So it will not cause cross infection.

Suggestions: It is recommended not to have sex the day before a transvaginal ultrasound to avoid affecting the test results.

2. What to do if a vaginal ultrasound is infected

When women are undergoing vaginal ultrasound examinations, doctors will put a disposable condom on the vaginal ultrasound probe to avoid cross infection, so the chance of infection during vaginal ultrasound is particularly small. If a woman develops an infection after a vaginal ultrasound, she often needs to receive corresponding treatment based on the specific site of infection. If it is a local vaginal infection, that is, vaginal inflammation, you can consider using bisoprolol gel for vaginal medication treatment. But if it is a pelvic infection, it can be treated with metronidazole capsules and azithromycin.

3. What should you pay attention to before doing vaginal ultrasound?

Vaginal ultrasound is a method of ultrasound diagnosis in which a B-ultrasound probe is placed into the vagina, which facilitates clear observation of the uterus and ovaries. First of all, vaginal ultrasound is only suitable for married women. Women who do not have sex cannot undergo vaginal ultrasound. Also, women with vaginal deformities cannot undergo vaginal ultrasound. On the day of the transvaginal ultrasound, it is best to wear clothes and shoes that are easy to put on and take off; before the transvaginal ultrasound, you also need to empty your bladder and clean the perineum with warm water. In addition, you need to be aware of isolation and protection.
