Patient's question:
Hello everyone. Recently, I've been feeling a persistent, dull pain in my lower abdomen. I'm worried about possible gynecological issues, so I went to the hospital. They performed an ultrasound for me. Could you please tell me if an ultrasound can detect gynecological inflammation?Doctor's answer:
According to your situation, 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 follow up with a gynecologist in a regular hospital. The doctor will order the necessary related tests based on your condition to identify the cause and provide targeted treatment.
