Comprehensive pelvic examination
The filled bladder serves as an “acoustic window” for examining the uterus and ovaries and is itself assessed for stones, tumors and wall thickening - pain in the lower abdomen in women often requires distinguishing between cystitis, fibroids, ovarian cysts and inflammation of the appendages, which is what this study solves. The doctor measures the uterus and M-echo (endometrial thickness), identifies myomatous nodes, cysts and ovarian formations, free fluid. If a detailed assessment is necessary (endometrium, small cysts, early pregnancy), transvaginal ultrasound is performed.
Indications
- frequent, difficult or painful urination;
- blood in the urine, cystitis, suspicion of stones and bladder tumors;
- prostate adenoma - gland volume and residual urine;
- pain in the lower abdomen in women - joint assessment of the bladder, uterus and appendages;
- control after operations.
Why ultrasound
Ultrasound is a safe imaging method without radiation: suitable for children, pregnant women and for repeated monitoring. The doctor sees organs in real time, assesses their structure, size and blood flow (in Doppler mode), and a conclusion with measurements is issued immediately after the study. The information content depends on the training and experience of the specialist; In the clinics below, ultrasound examinations are performed by ultrasound diagnostic doctors using expert-class devices.
