Patient's question:
I feel like I haven't ovulated in the past two months. I haven't ruled out the possibility of having a slippery, egg-white-like discharge. I want to do an ultrasound. Can an ultrasound detect the ovaries?Doctor's answer:
Under normal circumstances, during ovulation, there may be stretchy, white discharge that is transparent. If this sensation is not very noticeable, an ultrasound can be performed to monitor the development of follicles, which can help determine if there is a dominant follicle. Ultrasound examinations typically include the uterus and adnexa, with the adnexa organs encompassing the ovaries. Currently, the symptoms are considered to be manifestations caused by hormonal changes in the body. If there are concerns, it is best to visit a hospital for an ultrasound examination of the uterus and its adnexa to get a clear diagnosis. Avoid cold and irritating foods like soy milk in the morning.
