If there is mild adnexitis, can it be detected with color Doppler ultrasound?

Patient's question:

Can a slight adnexitis be detected with a color Doppler ultrasound?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, vaginal ultrasound is a type of endoscopic ultrasound. During the examination, the ultrasound probe is directly inserted into the vagina. Compared to abdominal ultrasound, it has a higher frequency, higher resolution, clearer images, is more convenient, does not require a full bladder, and can detect some lesions that cannot be seen with abdominal methods. General adnexal inflammation does not fall within the scope of ultrasound examination. Cervicitis and vaginitis can be detected by gynecologists and can also be examined with colposcopy.
