Is it better to do a transvaginal ultrasound or a regular ultrasound for checking the ring?

Patient's question:

I just got the IUD a month ago. Yesterday, I went to check if the position of the IUD is correct. The doctor ordered a transvaginal ultrasound. I'm asking if checking the IUD is better with a transvaginal ultrasound or a B ultrasound.

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you described, carefully check the position of the intrauterine device. It is recommended that you have an abdominal ultrasound examination. The abdominal examination must be performed with a full bladder. If you don't have urine, you can undergo a vaginal color Doppler ultrasound examination to determine whether the current position of the intrauterine device is normal. It is recommended that you pay close attention and have the examination in a regular medical institution.
