Patient's question:
Hello everyone. Recently, I've been feeling a persistent, dull pain in my lower abdomen. I'm worried about potential gynecological issues, so I went to the hospital. They did an ultrasound for me. Could you please tell me if an ultrasound can detect gynecological inflammation?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you mentioned, ultrasound can detect some gynecological diseases, but gynecological diseases include many types. Ultrasound can identify conditions such as pelvic inflammatory disease, adnexitis, uterine fibroids, and ovarian cysts. However, conditions like vaginitis and sexually transmitted diseases require a detailed examination of secretions. Ultrasound is not a panacea, so it is recommended that you visit the gynecology department of a regular hospital for a follow-up. The doctor will prescribe the necessary related tests based on your condition to identify the root cause and provide targeted treatment.
