Gynecological ultrasound\n<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Ultrasound is a medical technique that uses ultrasound to explore the human body.<\/p>

According to current scientific knowledge, these examinations are safe.<\/p>

Your gynecologist will recommend the timing of the examination.<\/p>

Depending on the reason for the ultrasound, it may be necessary to perform it on a specific day of the cycle, at the beginning of the cycle (the 14 days after the start of menstruation) or at the end of the cycle (the 14 days before menstruation).<\/p>

If you have a period, we need to know the date of your last menstrual period.<\/p>

Usually, menstruation does not interfere with the examination. Sometimes the examination is requested precisely during menstruation, and sometimes bleeding is completely unpredictable.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Examination procedure<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Gynaecological ultrasound is usually performed vaginally.<\/p>

In this case, it's best to have an empty bladder.<\/p>

This approach provides the best visibility of the pelvic organs.<\/p>

This is done by inserting a probe into the vagina, which is neither painful nor dangerous.<\/p>

The sensor is placed in a single-use condom. This protection is usually made of latex: if you are allergic to latex, tell the secretary and the doctor.<\/p>

Although the sensor never comes into contact with the body, it is cleaned and disinfected before and after each use.<\/p>

If the ultrasound cannot be performed vaginally, for example in young girls, virgins or patients who refuse to undergo the examination, it is performed abdominally.<\/p>

In this case, you need a full bladder.<\/p>

A probe is placed on the skin of your abdomen after spreading a gel designed to promote the passage of ultrasound.<\/p>

Sometimes, even with a perfectly filled bladder, it is not possible to examine the pelvic organs abdominally.<\/p>

In this particular case, the doctor will inform you of his findings when the examination is complete, at which time you can ask any questions you may have.<\/p>

If there is any doubt about an abnormality, the practitioner will inform you and may ask you to return for further ultrasound examinations, or for further radiological or biological tests.<\/p>

At the end of the examination, a report will be given to you, together with the corresponding images.<\/p>

Another copy is sent to your doctor to ensure that the information is passed on perfectly.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

There are many reasons why your gynaecologist may prescribe this test:<\/strong><\/p>

A clinical warning sign (pain, bleeding, lump, fever, irregular cycle, absence of menses, infertility)<\/p>

Monitoring of a previously known pathology (fibroid, cyst, tubal anomaly)<\/p>

A pelvic check-up prior to planned surgery (for incontinence, cancerous lesion detected) or for post-operative monitoring.<\/p>

Screening for familial risk, particularly in the case of genes that increase the risk of gynecological cancer (HNPCC, BRCA)<\/p>

Treatment monitoring (infertility, IUD, tubal ligation with implants)<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
