Transvaginal Ultrasonography

• A transvaginal ultrasound is used to doctor to examine female reproductive organs. Unlike a regular pelvic ultrasound, during transvaginal ultrasound, the ultrasound wand rests on the outside of pelvis. The procedure involves your doctor to insert an ultrasound probe about two to three inches inside your vaginal canal.
• Transvaginal ultrasonography is a reasonable alternative to endometrial sampling as a first approach in evaluating a postmenopausal woman with an initial episode of bleeding. Ultrasonography should be used only for patients whose prior probability of cancer and hyperplasia is low enough that no additional testing would be required after a normal ultrasonography.
• Chhabra Hospital considers TV-US experimental and investigational for screening for endometrial cancer, ovarian cancer, or other gynaecologic cancers because of insufficient evidence of effectiveness of these approaches for cancer screening.
