Patient's question:
Recently interviewed for a job. I heard that a physical examination is required, and an ultrasound needs to be done. I haven't had an ultrasound before. Could you please tell me what a female ultrasound checks for?Doctor's answer:
B-mode ultrasound mainly examines solid organs such as the abdomen, thyroid, pelvic cavity, and blood vessels, including the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, kidneys, thyroid, and gynecological conditions. The content of the ultrasound examination varies depending on the specific area being examined. B-mode ultrasound has a wide range of applications. Gynecological ultrasound can examine the cervix, adnexa, pelvic conditions, endometrium, the position, size, and shape of the uterus, as well as any abnormalities in the bilateral ovaries. The specific examination should be selected based on the patient's needs.
