Due to the advantages of ultrasound being safe, convenient, and affordable, OB&GYN ultrasound machines have become important tools in safeguarding women’s health. Obstetric ultrasound primarily utilizes the real-time imaging capabilities of 3D 4D ultrasound machine to diagnose the health of the fetus. Gynecological ultrasound covers areas such as the uterus, ovaries, and vagina, where doctors use ultrasound imaging to examine the structure of these organs to assess their health.
What health issues can gynecological ultrasound assess?
Routine Gynecological Check-up: It helps observe the size of the ovaries, detect cysts or solid masses like ovarian cancer, and check for uterine fibroids, adenomyosis, endometriosis, endometrial polyps, and endometrial cancer.
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID): Gynecological ultrasound assists in detecting infections or inflammation in the pelvic area, especially in cases of acute or chronic inflammation.
Endometrial Health: For patients with amenorrhea, irregular menstruation, or dysfunctional uterine bleeding, Gynecological ultrasound machine helps observe follicle development and assess endometrial thickness, aiding in the identification of endometrial hyperplasia or the risk of cancer.
Reproductive Function Evaluation: Ultrasound machines can monitor follicle development and ovulation. It can also detect congenital uterine abnormalities, such as bicornuate uterus or septate uterus, which may affect fertility.
Ectopic Pregnancy: Ultrasound scanning imaging enables the early diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy, ensuring timely intervention to avoid severe complications
What Methods Gynecological Ultrasound Examination Have?
Trans abdominal Ultrasound: This is one of the most common methods used in OB&GYN ultrasound machine examinations. A 4D convex probe or convex probe is used. Prior to the exam, the bladder needs to be moderately full. The ultrasound image is performed through the abdominal wall to observe pelvic organs such as the uterus and ovaries. This method is often used for routine check-ups.
Trans-vaginal Ultrasound: A specialized trans-vaginal probe is inserted through the vagina, allowing closer access to the uterus and ovaries, providing clearer and more detailed images. This method is suitable for evaluating the endometrium, ovaries, and early pregnancy.
Trans-rectal Ultrasound: This method is less commonly used and is typically applied when a trans-vaginal exam is not possible. The doctor performs the ultrasound through the rectum to assess the pelvic organs.
What Characteristics do A Normal Uterine Ultrasound Image Typically Shows?
Uterine Shape: The uterus appears as an inverted pear or oval shape with clear, defined borders. The size of the uterus may vary depending on age, menstrual cycle, or childbirth history, but in adult women, it generally measures about 7-8 cm in length and 4-5 cm in width.
Uterine Wall: The myometrium (uterine muscle layer) appears as a uniform, medium-level echogenic (gray) area on the ultrasound, with no visible abnormal structures or masses.
Endometrium: The thickness of the endometrium changes throughout the menstrual cycle. On the ultrasound, the endometrium appears as a hyperechoic (bright) line within the uterine cavity. The endometrial thickness peaks after ovulation (usually 7-14 mm) and is thinner after menstruation (2-4 mm).
Uterine Cavity: The uterine cavity should be free of fluid, masses, or any abnormalities. It has a regular shape with clear, distinct lines.
Adnexal Region: The ovaries are located on either side of the uterus and appear with follicles that show as hypoechoic (darker) areas. The size and appearance of the follicles vary depending on the menstrual cycle.
