Transvaginal ultrasound is a crucial step for expectant mothers to ensure their baby grows healthy and strong. This type of ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves through the vagina to create clear images of internal organs and the baby’s development.

Benefits of Transvaginal Ultrasound

  • Monitoring Fetal Development Allows doctors to closely observe the baby’s growth, heart, nervous system, and other vital organs in detail.
  • Detecting Abnormalities Can identify potential abnormalities in the fetus early on, such as chromosomal defects or internal organ issues.
  • High Safety No radiation is used, making it safe for both the mother and the baby.

Transvaginal Ultrasound Procedure

  1. Preparation The doctor will guide the mother on how to prepare, such as relaxing and wearing comfortable clothing.
  2. Conducting the Ultrasound The doctor uses a transducer probe inserted through the vagina to capture images of the baby and internal organs.
  3. Analyzing Results The images are analyzed to assess the baby’s development and identify any abnormalities.

Preparation Before the Ultrasound

  • Fasting In some cases, the doctor may recommend fasting before the ultrasound to ensure clearer images.
  • Relaxation Staying relaxed helps the procedure to be smooth and comfortable.
