Gynecological sonography, also known as gynecological ultrasound, is a diagnostic procedure that uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of the female reproductive organs, including the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes. The procedure is used to assess the condition of the reproductive organs and identify any abnormalities that may be causing gynecological problems.
At Orkid hospital, our gynecological sonography services are performed by trained and experienced sonographers who use state-of-the-art ultrasound equipment to produce high-resolution images. The procedure is typically performed on an outpatient basis and does not require any anesthesia.
There are several types of gynecological sonography, we offer at our hospital, some of which are listed below:
- Transvaginal ultrasound: A small probe is inserted into the vagina to create images of the uterus and ovaries. This type of ultrasound is particularly useful for evaluating the endometrium (lining of the uterus) and the ovaries.
- Transabdominal ultrasound: A transducer is placed on the abdomen to create images of the reproductive organs. This type of ultrasound is used to evaluate the uterus and ovaries when they are too deep to be visualized with transvaginal ultrasound.
- 3D and 4D ultrasound: These types of ultrasound create three-dimensional and four-dimensional images of the reproductive organs, respectively, which can provide more detailed images of the uterus and ovaries.
- Gynecological sonography can help diagnose conditions such as ovarian cysts, endometriosis, fibroids, and pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), as well as monitor the growth and development of a pregnancy.
At Orkid hospital gynaec sonography is generally safe and well-tolerated, and the results can help guide your treatment options and ensure the best possible outcome.
