Patient's question:
I feel a bit uncomfortable in my abdomen, and recently my vaginal discharge has also become particularly abundant. It's been quite uncomfortable, so I want to go to the hospital for a transvaginal ultrasound. How deep does the transvaginal ultrasound probe need to go?Doctor's answer:
The transcervical probe has an insertion diameter of 1~1.5 cm and an insertion length of 15~20 cm. The probe and external extension device are, of course, in addition to lubricants, designed to facilitate thorough examination. This instrument has a very small probe, which generally does not cause discomfort. Transvaginal MRI is a significant advancement in the application of MRI in obstetrics and gynecology in recent years. It can clearly demonstrate the anatomical structures of pelvic organs in women. Compared to traditional transabdominal MRI, it does not require bladder filling and offers early and accurate diagnosis for normal and abnormal pregnancies as well as gynecological diseases.
