What is the ultrasound of the ovaries?
The ovarian ultrasound is a type of medical display that is used to visualize the ovaries. This type of ultrasound can be used in cases where the patient is assumed to have a problem with their ovaries or in patients undergoing infertility assessment. Like other ultrasound types, it can be performed as an outpatient procedure in a medical clinic or hospital, and an ultrasound imaging can be performed by a physician or ultrasonic technician. It works similarly to radar, with sound waves jumping from the cavity of the body and interpretation when they return. Based on sound waves, the ultrasonic machine can draw a picture of the area of interest. The picture may be static or moving and can provide a lot of information about the patient's body without the need for invasive surgery. Although it is possible to see ovaries with abdominal ultrasound, in which the ultrasound probe is simply passed through the abdomen, the picture is not so clear at the abdominal uLtrazvuku and the doctor may miss critical information.
The patient will be asked to prepare for the ovarian ultrasound as well as for the pelvic test. The person who gives the imaging study uses the lubricant and the conductive gel on the probe before inserting on the probe and will usually try to work quickly to minimize the patient's discomfort. If the doctor performs ultrasound, he may point out features of interest or concern, while the ultrasonic technician must not offer medical information, even if he can provide anatomical information if he asks.
Two things that are commonly looked for ovarian ultrasound are ovarian cysts that indicate a health problem and follicles. Doctors calculate follicles for fertility and patient response to fertility medicines. The more follicles the woman has, the more fertile she is.
The physician interprets the results and provides information on other patient steps. If acrossThe ultrasound of ovarian ultrasound detects the symptoms of ovarian cancer, the patient may start treatment of cancer. In the case of a patient looking for help with fertility problems, ultrasound can propose additional steps, such as testing a patient's partner or embark on fertility treatment.
