When is the best time to do a transvaginal ultrasound?

Vaginal color ultrasound is an examination performed by inserting the instrument into the vagina, so it is best not to choose vaginal ultrasound when you are pregnant. If you want to check ovulation, it is best to check after the ovulation period. If you want to have a baby, it is best to have sex before and after the ovulation period. If you want to check the condition of the uterus, it is best to check about three days after the period is over.

Precautions for vaginal ultrasound

1. Do not have sex. If you do not use a condom during intercourse, his semen will flow into the biopsy sample, which will make the examination very troublesome and embarrassing.

2. Do not perform vaginal washing within three days before the examination, because washing will wash away some potential cancer cells that may only be detected through biopsy.

3. Do not use vaginal medications. For example, medications for vaginal infections, lubricants, or spermicides may affect the biopsy sample and cover it with abnormal cells. In addition, during vaginal and pelvic examinations, doctors may be confused and bewildered.

4. Pay attention to rest the day before the gynecological examination, avoid strenuous exercise and emotional excitement, and ensure adequate sleep to avoid affecting the results of the physical examination. It is best to take a shower.

5. If you have ever had surgery, please bring relevant medical records and information.

6. Women need to urinate completely when undergoing an ultrasound examination.

7. Women should not undergo gynecological examinations or laboratory urine tests during menstruation; pregnant women should not undergo X-ray examinations.

8. The patient needs to lie flat on the bed, relax the body and don't be nervous. Excessive nervousness will affect the examination results.

Vaginal ultrasound examination steps

1. Take the lithotomy position for examination, that is, the patient lies on his back with his legs open and his hip and knee joints flexed. Vaginal B-ultrasound cannot be performed in a sitting position because the probe is difficult to insert and move.

2. The doctor covers the vaginal probe with a disposable condom and applies a disinfectant coupling agent inside and outside the condom to ensure hygiene and facilitate examination.

3. The doctor wears gloves, holds the probe handle with his right hand, and slowly inserts the probe into the vaginal vault or anus. It does not touch other organs of the reproductive system except the vagina itself.

4. Tilt, push, pull, and rotate the probe handle during operation to observe the entire pelvic structure.

5. After the inspection, you can use special inspection paper to clean the coupling agent on your body, tidy up your clothes, and wait for the results outside.

When is the best time to do vaginal ultrasound?

When is the best time for women to do vaginal ultrasound depends on the purpose of the examination. Because the purpose of the examination is different, the time of vaginal ultrasound will also vary.

2. If you want to know whether ovulation is normal, you should do it after the ovulation period begins. If the menstrual cycle is 28 days, you should choose to start doing it on the 10th day of menstruation.

3. Understand the situation of the dominant follicle, and then decide when to do the next transvaginal ultrasound based on the size of the dominant follicle. The interval can be 1, 2, or 3 days. The closer to the ovulation day, the more frequently you should do it. At that time, you should do it once a day until ovulation is confirmed.

4. If you want to get pregnant, you should arrange sexual intercourse around the ovulation date, which can significantly increase the chances of pregnancy.

It should be noted that pregnant women should not undergo transvaginal ultrasound easily, especially in the early and late stages of pregnancy, as any slight accident can easily lead to miscarriage.
