Why they see my left ovary during an ultrasound scan?

The left ovary may not always be visible during an ultrasound scan. The visibility of the ovaries on an ultrasound scan depends on several factors, including the person's body type, the position of the ovaries, and the skill and experience of the person performing the scan.

In general, the ovaries are located on either side of the uterus, deep within the pelvis. They are typically not palpable (felt) through the abdomen. Ultrasound scans use sound waves to create images of internal organs and structures, and they can provide a detailed view of the ovaries and other pelvic organs.

During a transabdominal ultrasound, the ultrasound transducer is placed on the abdomen to obtain images of the pelvic organs. The ovaries may be visible on the screen as round or oval structures, depending on the angle and position of the transducer. However, in some cases, the ovaries may not be clearly visible due to factors such as the presence of bowel gas or a full bladder.

A transvaginal ultrasound may also be performed to obtain a more detailed view of the ovaries. In this procedure, a small ultrasound transducer is inserted into the vagina to provide a closer look at the pelvic organs. This type of ultrasound allows for better visualization of the ovaries and can help detect abnormalities or conditions that may not be visible on a transabdominal ultrasound.

If you are concerned about the visibility of your ovaries during an ultrasound scan, you should discuss this with the healthcare professional performing the scan. They can provide more information and clarify any questions or concerns you may have.
