What out-patient procedures can be helped by using a pelvic ultrasound?

A pelvic ultrasound is a non-invasive medical imaging procedure that uses sound waves to create images of the female reproductive organs and surrounding structures. Some out-patient procedures that can be helped by using a pelvic ultrasound include:

- Gynecological exams: Pelvic ultrasounds are often used during routine gynecological exams to evaluate the uterus, ovaries, cervix, and vagina for any abnormalities, such as fibroids, cysts, or tumors.

- Pregnancy monitoring: Pelvic ultrasounds are used throughout pregnancy to monitor the development of the fetus, assess the position of the placenta, and check for any complications.

- Infertility investigations: Pelvic ultrasounds can be used to evaluate the female reproductive organs for any conditions that may be affecting fertility, such as uterine abnormalities, blocked fallopian tubes, or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

- Urogynecological conditions: Pelvic ultrasounds can be used to evaluate conditions affecting the pelvic floor muscles and supporting structures, such as incontinence, prolapse, or pelvic organ prolapse.

- Bladder and kidney evaluations: Pelvic ultrasounds can be used to assess the bladder for any abnormalities, such as bladder stones, masses, or tumors. They can also be used to evaluate the kidneys for any conditions, such as kidney stones, cysts, or hydronephrosis.
