What is the difference between vaginal B-ultrasound and conventional B-ultrasound?

B-ultrasound is a common examination method and is divided into many types. For women, when doing gynecological examinations, sometimes a vaginal B-ultrasound examination is needed. The difference between vaginal B-ultrasound and routine examinations is quite obvious. Vaginal B-ultrasound has a wider range of functions in examining some gynecological diseases because it is closer to the female reproductive system, so it is often used for examinations of the uterus or ovaries.

The difference between vaginal B-ultrasound and conventional B-ultrasound

1. Vaginal B-ultrasound shortens the examination time and eliminates the need to hold urine as long as possible, which in the past might require waiting for 2-3 hours.

2.Vaginal B-ultrasound images are clearer and the results are more accurate. Taking polycystic ovary as an example, even if you are not a professional doctor, you can know that there are multiple mature but unreleased eggs in the ovaries.

3. It has a wide range of applications. Even women with abdominal obesity and deep ovaries can have their specific conditions checked through vaginal B-ultrasound. This is something that conventional B-ultrasound does not have.

However, some people cannot do vaginal B-ultrasound!

Unmarried women, women who have not had sex, women who are menstruating, women with vaginal bleeding, women in the middle or late stages of pregnancy, women with large pelvic tumors, etc. are not suitable for this type of examination.

Advantages of vaginal B-ultrasound

1. Closer to the uterus and ovaries, images can clearly show whether there are any lesions in the organs. Even the thickness of the endometrium and whether there are mature or immature eggs in the ovaries can be seen.

2. Further understanding of the tumor can tell whether there is a tumor in the ovary and whether the tumor is benign or malignant.

3. Understand uterine cavity diseases, such as adnexitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc.

4. In obstetrics, pregnancy and ectopic pregnancy can be confirmed as early as possible, which is of great significance for the rescue of ectopic pregnancy.

Before doing a vaginal B-ultrasound, please pay attention to the following things

First: Wear bottoms that are easy to take off. A skirt is the best choice.

Second: You don’t need to hold your urine, and doctors recommend emptying your urine completely.

Third: Tell your doctor in advance whether you have sex or not, and tell your doctor promptly if you feel uncomfortable.

In fact, in addition to vaginal B-ultrasound, there is another type of B-ultrasound that is suitable for unmarried women to understand the condition of their ovaries more accurately, that is, through the intestines.

It also uses vaginal B-ultrasound tools, but the methods are different. The purpose of the examination is the same, which is to more accurately understand the condition of the reproductive organs.
