Transvaginal Ultrasonography
A Key Diagnostic Tool for Women’s Reproductive Health
Transvaginal Ultrasonography (TVUS) is an advanced imaging technique that allows doctors to clearly examine the female pelvic organs—including the uterus, ovaries, cervix, fallopian tubes (when visible), and surrounding structures. At Amrit Hospital, we use high-resolution ultrasound technology to provide accurate, safe, and comfortable assessments for various gynecological and fertility conditions.
What Is Transvaginal Ultrasonography?
Transvaginal Ultrasonography is a type of pelvic ultrasound performed through the vagina using a thin, wand-like probe. Unlike abdominal scans, TVUS provides more detailed and closer images, making it especially useful for diagnosing conditions related to fertility, menstrual problems, pelvic pain, and pregnancy monitoring.
Why Is a Transvaginal Ultrasound Performed?
Your doctor may recommend TVUS for several reasons, including:
Reproductive & Fertility Evaluation
Irregular menstrual cycles
Difficulty conceiving
Monitoring ovarian follicles
Assessing ovulation and egg development
Diagnosing PCOS
Pelvic Health Assessment
Pelvic pain or discomfort
Suspected fibroids or cysts
Endometriosis evaluation
Abnormal vaginal bleeding
Pregnancy-Related Assessment
Early pregnancy confirmation
Checking fetal heartbeat
Identifying ectopic pregnancy
Monitoring early pregnancy health
TVUS offers quick, precise insights that guide effective treatment planning.
How the Procedure Is Done
A transvaginal ultrasound is a simple and minimally uncomfortable procedure:
You will lie comfortably on the examination table.
A sterile, covered probe—about the width of a tampon—is gently inserted into the vagina.
The device sends sound waves that create detailed images on a monitor.
The entire process takes 10–15 minutes.
The procedure is painless, though you may feel slight pressure. No radiation is used, making it completely safe.
Benefits of Transvaginal Ultrasonography
High-definition imaging of pelvic organs
More accurate than abdominal ultrasound for many conditions
Safe for both pregnant and non-pregnant women
Helps diagnose issues early and effectively
Quick, convenient, and non-invasive
Preparation for the Test
Minimal preparation is needed:
A partially empty bladder is usually recommended.
You may be asked to remove any vaginal devices or tampons before the test.
The doctor or technician will guide you through every step.
