Ultrasound of the small pelvis

Ultrasound of the small pelvis

Ultrasound is a modern study in the "here and now" mode, which will demonstrate the condition of the internal organs of the pelvic cavity in representatives of both sexes. In the terminology of clinical medicine, ultrasound is called ultrasonography, this is a kind of use of high-frequency sound waves and a special sensor, through which you can see the real picture of the organs being studied, designing it on a computer monitor. Using computer processing of results, a specialist on the screen receives a high-quality image. With the help of such a diagnosis, doctors can study structures and analyze blood vessels with blood flow.

General information about ultrasound of the small pelvis
Ultrasound of the small pelvis is a non-invasive method. The technique is designed to help doctors assess pelvic organs, determine the exact diagnosis and prescribe effective therapy. Ultrasound is an opportunity in medical problems to have photos of tissues and structural units that are localized at the bottom of the pelvis and in the cavity of the peritoneum. Diagnoses call three types of ultrasound diagnosis of OMT:

• transabdominal (abdominal) - through the abdominal wall; Ideal for pregnant women and virgins;
• transvaginal (vaginal) - is carried out exclusively to female representatives through the vaginal sensor;
• Transrectal (rectal) - is performed in most of the male representatives.
• Doppler ultrasound is considered part of ultrasound. Doppler diagnostic diagnosis gives a chance to look at blood vessels and examine blood flow, establish blood clots or vascular narrowing. Doppler ultrasound shows:

• vascular malformations of an innate nature;

neoplasms.

When do you plan to do an ultrasound of the pelvic organs?
The girl is assigned ultrasound examination to evaluate her reproductive and genito-urinary system. Ultrasound is often prescribed for pregnant women to monitor trimester, to look for the growth and development of the embryo in the womb of the future mother. This method of diagnosis is used in the period of taking oral contraceptives and using an intrauterine device, to avoid complications from their effects. In urology, uzi studies establish the causes of enuresis, problems with urination, identify abnormalities of the urethra and prostate.

The ultrasound of the pelvic area has numerous reasons for carrying out with the following symptoms:

• 
  
• bleeding pathological nature;
• the subfebrile temperature lasts for a long time;
• pain syndrome of incomprehensible etiology;
• severe pain in the lower abdomen;
• irregular or no menstrual cycle;
• vaginal discharge of a different nature.

Using ultrasound, it is possible to detect bladder cancer, to establish the presence of stones in the kidneys, and to find the causes of the appearance of ailments of the urinary tract. Ultrasound diagnosis helps to establish the root causes of delayed puberty and too early puberty in girls. With the help of it, doctors can:

To check up the neoplasms localized in the field of a basin;
to study the hermaphrodite genitals in the anatomical structure.
Ultrasound is the ability to control a puncture biopsy, during which tissue samples are taken as a biological material for laboratory diagnosis.

It is used to differentiate cancer, ovarian cysts, fibroids and other palpable neoplasms. Diagnosis is indicated after med-abortion. Transvaginal will be needed to diagnose the overall position of the endometrium (inner uterine membrane) - for example, to assess its thickness. The method allows to analyze the muscular walls-myometrium of the main female genital object.

To view the uterus in detail, the patient is referred to ultrasound hysterography. This method - the ability to timely diagnose cancer, polyposis, scarring, fibroids and identify abnormalities in anatomical development. UZ-hysterosalpingography has found practical application in diagnosing infertility women.

Ultrasound of the pelvis: what day is it recommended to conduct a study for women?
Women are worried about the problem: "When can I perform ultrasound diagnosis of the pelvis?" Specialists always say this should be the first phase of the menstrual cycle .The best is the fifth-sixth day, after the menstrual period, when the initial stage of proliferation is, the uterine and ovarian Features: It is possible to diagnose hyperplasia and polyps of the endometrium, to accurately indicate the size of the myomatous nodes.When ovulation has passed, the mucous membranes become more voluminous and loose, the formations are not so specific. oydet to determine unless functional cysts. They do not require specific treatment and go to monthly.

Can I get an ultrasound with a period? Diagnostics is allowed. Indeed, on the second or fourth day in emergency cases, you can conduct ultrasound, despite the fact that at this stage there are the most abundant discharge of blood from the vagina and the effectiveness may be lower. This is justified when preparing for IVF, and reproductive specialists want to find out the number of follicles in the ovaries. If performed with monthly excretions, the preparation is complicated only by one point - the lady should take with her to the session a dense lining fabric.

Before pelvic ultrasound, any preparation in women is excluded if there are large delays in discharge. This will determine at the initial stage of pregnancy or perimenopausal state.

Ultrasound of the small pelvis: preparation for the study in women
This diagnosis is a very clear and fast method of diagnosis, which can be safely re-used, even during pregnancy, without spending much effort on preparation. By time, it takes no more than 10-15 minutes, depending on the purpose of the study and has no contraindications to the conduct. For the survey, you need to have a referral from the attending physician, a small towel to remove the remnants of the conductor gel and a small sheet or diaper from the body, which the patient stems on the couch and lies down on top.

Preparation for abdominal, vaginal and transrectal ultrasound is that three to four days before the session it is forbidden to eat spicy, salty and smoked, that is, compliance with the diet. For 2 days before the date of the survey, smoking should be stopped.

Standard ultrasound of the small pelvis is done with a filled urinary.

Preparation is required for a transabdominal technique that is performed through the abdomen. For two hours prior to manipulation, one liter of ordinary drinking water is consumed and the same amount of time can not go to the toilet to urinate. This will maximize the visualization.
When transvaginal study through the vagina preparation is not provided. In this case, the urinary must be empty, so as not to interfere with the procedure.
Pregnant patients are examined for a partially filled bladder. For proper preparation, a woman should drink not more than half a liter of water without gas 1 hour before the diagnosis.
Preparation for the examination of the genitourinary system assumes a well-filled urinary system. Following this, one and a half hours before the diagnosis, you should drink about 1 liter of water, and do not go to the toilet.
The examination should be done in loose clothing, after removing all the jewelry, glasses and watches. Sometimes doctors ask to put on a special robe over their clothes.

Preparatory measures for ultrasound of the pelvis in men
For the most reliable results, you must observe the correct preparation for diagnosis. For a detailed study of the structure of the prostate gland, transrectal ultrasound is practiced, during which special sensors are introduced into the rectal area to examine the condition of the seminal vesicles and the prostate. Therefore, a man must arrive at a diagnosis with an empty intestine.

The patient adheres in advance to a special diet to remove all gases from the intestine and to eliminate constipation. Specialists at this stage recommend to exclude from the diet all products that enhance gassing, including fresh vegetables and fruits, whole milk products, rye flour products, confectionery and yeast baked goods. In some cases, the recommended intake of enzyme-containing drugs, dill water or activated charcoal.

The process of ultrasound of the small pelvis
The doctor-diagnosis manipulation takes place either on a special couch or in a gynecological chair (depends on the location of the equipment and the method of conducting the study). After all the manipulations, the diagnostician deciphers the results and prepares a general conclusion.

If a person is healthy, then for prophylactic purposes, such sessions are recommended to be performed once or twice a year up to forty years. After forty - just one manipulation in a year is enough.
