What causes bleeding after vaginal ultrasound?

In real life, vaginal ultrasound is a medical instrument that examines the female genitals. It can be used to check whether there are any diseases in the body or gynecological diseases. During the examination, the instrument needs to be inserted into the female vagina. Vaginal bleeding after vaginal ultrasound may be due to bleeding symptoms caused by damage to the endometrium caused by the instrument entering the vagina.

What is the reason for bleeding after vaginal ultrasound?

Vaginal ultrasound is an examination done by inserting an ultrasound probe into the vagina. If a gynecological examination was not done at the time, the specific location of the bleeding cannot be determined. It may be caused by local damage caused by the force of the probe during the examination. It is recommended to have a gynecological examination.

Vaginal ultrasound is particularly suitable for ovulation monitoring, diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy, uterine space-occupying diseases, and diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome and chocolate cysts. For those who have had sexual intercourse, a vaginal examination can be performed, and for virgins, a rectal ultrasound examination can be performed.

Indications

1. Sonographic manifestations of the endometrium during a normal menstrual cycle and the mature and immature follicles in normal ovaries (the so-called "ovulation detection").

2. Benign uterine tumors: 1. Adenomyosis; 2. Uterine fibroids.

3. Uterine malignancies: 1. Endometrial cancer; 2. Cervical cancer.

4. Non-neoplastic ovarian cysts: 1. Polycystic ovary syndrome; 2. Chocolate cyst.

5. Ovarian tumor.

6. Make a clear diagnosis of early pregnancy as early as possible.

7. Abnormal early pregnancy, especially ectopic pregnancy (i.e. "ectopic pregnancy"), is a clinical emergency and may lead to death if not treated in time.

Inspection method

1. It is usually performed after a routine gynecological examination.

2. Ask the patient to urinate and take the lithotomy position.

3. Cover the vaginal probe with a disposable condom and apply disinfectant coupling agent inside and outside the condom.

4. The operator wears gloves, holds the probe handle with his right hand, and slowly inserts the probe into the vaginal vault.

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

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

Advantages of vaginal ultrasound

Vaginal probe has certain advantages over abdominal exploration:

① It has high sensitivity and display rate to uterine artery and ovarian blood flow.

② Shorten the inspection time and obtain accurate Doppler spectrum.

③ No need to fill the bladder.

④ Not affected by body type obesity, abdominal scars, intestinal gas distension, etc.

⑤ Use the movement of the probe tip to find the tenderness of the pelvic organs to determine whether there is pelvic adhesion.
