Gynecological Ultrasound

At Dr. Dere Sonography & X-Ray Centre, Gynecological Ultrasound examinations are performed by Dr. Prajakta Samir Dere, Consultant Radiologist with specialized expertise in Obstetric, Fetal & Gynecological Imaging. Using advanced high-resolution ultrasound technology, every examination is carried out with exceptional precision to provide detailed visualization of the female reproductive organs while ensuring patient comfort, privacy, and accurate diagnosis.

Gynecological Ultrasound may be performed using a Transabdominal Ultrasound or a Transvaginal Ultrasound (TVS), depending on the patient's age, symptoms, and clinical indication. These examinations help assess the uterus, endometrium, ovaries, cervix, pelvic cavity, and surrounding structures, allowing early detection of various gynecological disorders before they become more serious.

Whether you are experiencing irregular menstrual cycles, pelvic pain, heavy menstrual bleeding, infertility, postmenopausal bleeding, or require routine pelvic evaluation, Gynecological Ultrasound provides valuable diagnostic information that helps your gynecologist plan the most appropriate treatment while supporting your long-term reproductive and women's health.

What Does a Gynecological Ultrasound Assess?

Gynecological Ultrasound provides a detailed evaluation of the female reproductive organs, helping diagnose a wide range of gynecological disorders while supporting appropriate treatment planning and long-term reproductive health management.

Uterus Assessment

The size, shape, position, and structure of the uterus are carefully evaluated to identify abnormalities such as fibroids, adenomyosis, congenital uterine anomalies, and other uterine conditions.

Endometrial Evaluation

The endometrial lining is measured and assessed for thickness, appearance, and abnormalities such as endometrial polyps, hyperplasia, or other conditions that may cause abnormal uterine bleeding.

Ovarian Assessment

Both ovaries are examined to evaluate their size, appearance, follicular development, ovarian cysts, benign masses, PCOS changes, or other ovarian abnormalities.

Cervical Examination

The cervix is assessed whenever clinically indicated to identify cervical abnormalities, masses, or changes that may require further gynecological evaluation.

Pelvic Masses

The scan helps identify pelvic masses arising from the uterus, ovaries, or surrounding pelvic structures and assists in determining their size, location, and imaging characteristics.

Pelvic Free Fluid

The presence of free fluid within the pelvis is evaluated, as it may be associated with ovulation, infection, ruptured ovarian cysts, or other gynecological conditions.

Infertility Assessment

Gynecological Ultrasound plays an important role in infertility workup by evaluating the uterus, ovaries, endometrial lining, follicular development, and other pelvic structures that may influence fertility.

Overall Pelvic Health

All pelvic organs are carefully examined to provide a comprehensive assessment of women's reproductive health and assist your gynecologist in establishing an accurate diagnosis.

How is a Gynecological Ultrasound Performed?

Gynecological Ultrasound is a safe, painless, and non-invasive imaging examination performed using advanced ultrasound technology. Depending on your age, symptoms, and clinical condition, the examination may be performed through the abdomen (Transabdominal Ultrasound) or internally using a specialized probe (Transvaginal Ultrasound) for more detailed pelvic evaluation. The procedure generally takes between 15 and 30 minutes.

• Your medical history and symptoms are reviewed before the examination.
• A Transabdominal Ultrasound may require a comfortably full bladder for better visualization.
• A Transvaginal Ultrasound (TVS) may be recommended when detailed pelvic imaging is required.
• The uterus, ovaries, endometrium, cervix, and surrounding pelvic structures are examined systematically.
• Measurements and imaging findings are carefully documented.
• A comprehensive ultrasound report is prepared to assist your gynecologist in further treatment planning.

Benefits of a Gynecological Ultrasound

Gynecological Ultrasound is one of the most effective diagnostic tools for evaluating women's reproductive health and identifying gynecological disorders at an early stage.

• Accurate evaluation of the uterus and ovaries.
• Early detection of fibroids, ovarian cysts, and pelvic masses.
• Assessment of abnormal uterine bleeding.
• Evaluation of infertility and follicular development.
• Diagnosis and monitoring of PCOS and other ovarian disorders.
• Supports timely treatment planning and follow-up.
• Safe, radiation-free imaging suitable for women of all age groups.
• Provides confidence through early diagnosis and comprehensive pelvic assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a Transabdominal and a Transvaginal Ultrasound?

A Transabdominal Ultrasound is performed over the abdomen using a full bladder, whereas a Transvaginal Ultrasound (TVS) uses a specially designed probe placed gently inside the vagina to provide clearer and more detailed images of the uterus, ovaries, and pelvic organs.

Is a Transvaginal Ultrasound painful?

Most women experience little or no discomfort during a Transvaginal Ultrasound. The examination is generally well tolerated and provides highly detailed images that help in accurate diagnosis.

Can a Gynecological Ultrasound detect ovarian cysts and fibroids?

Yes. Gynecological Ultrasound is one of the most effective imaging investigations for identifying ovarian cysts, uterine fibroids, adenomyosis, pelvic masses, and many other gynecological conditions.

Is Gynecological Ultrasound useful for infertility evaluation?

Yes. It plays an important role in infertility assessment by evaluating the uterus, ovaries, endometrial lining, follicular development, and other pelvic structures that may influence conception.

How long does a Gynecological Ultrasound take?

Most examinations are completed within 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the type of ultrasound and the clinical evaluation required.
