What is a gynecological ultrasound scan?

An ultrasound scan is one of the most popular and safest diagnostic methods. It is frequently performed during a gynecological consultation.

 

It allows for:
• assessing the structure of the pelvic organs,
• detecting existing pathologies,
• assessing the course of the pregnancy

An ultrasound scan is brief, painless and non-invasive. The scan relies on ultrasound waves, which are harmless to the patient and the developing pregnancy.

An ultrasound scan is frequently performed during a standard gynecological consultation.

Indications for this scan:

  • Regular preventive care
  • Presence of abnormal, non-menstrual genital bleeding
  • Irregular periods, ovulation disorders
  • Lower abdominal pain
  • Pain during intercourse
  • Amenorrhea
  • Suspected pregnancy
  • Infertility diagnostics

The scan is best performed in the first half of the menstrual cycle, unless otherwise advised by the physician.

This scan does not require any special preparation. In case of a transabdominal scan, the bladder must be filled. In case of a transvaginal scan, the bladder must be emptied. Due to the type of scan, it is advisable to ensure good hygiene of the intimate areas.

No additional investigations are necessary before an ultrasound scan.

There are no contraindications to an ultrasound scan.

Course of a transabdominal scan

Stage 1

Preparation

After taking the patient’s history, the patient is positioned on the couch in a supine position and the abdomen is exposed.

Stage 2

Insertion of speculum and catheter

The physician applies an ultrasound transducer coated with a special gel to the patient’s abdominal wall and then assesses the pelvic organs (their structure, shape, size).

Stage 3

After testing

The scan is short and painless. There are no special indications for behaviour after testing. The patient can go home and resume normal activities.

Course of a transvaginal scan

Stage 1

Preparation

After taking the patient’s history, the patient is asked to get ready by removing her clothes from the waist down. For added comfort, she may choose to wear a disposable skirt. The patient is then positioned on the couch in a supine position with the legs bent at the knees. The scan can also be performed in the gynecological chair.

Stage 2

Ultrasound scan

The physician introduces an ultrasound transducer into the vagina; the transducer is protected by a disposable sheath and covered with a special gel. This method allows for a very precise assessment of the pelvic organs and a thorough evaluation of their structure. For women who have not yet had a sexual intercourse, the physician may perform the scan through the abdominal wall or, in exceptional cases, through the anus.

Stage 3

After testing

The scan is short and painless. There are no special indications for behaviour after testing. The patient can go home and resume normal activities.

How patients see us

I would like to wholeheartedly thank the ARTVIMED staff for making our dream of becoming parents come true. Our beloved baby son was born on 15 May this year.

Thanks to the physicians at the clinic, the whole IVF procedure was successful on the first try 🙂 We received the best care at each step. I had the opportunity to meet several doctors at the clinic during my appointments, and each one proved to be an outstanding professional.

Thanks to the Doctor, we welcomed our son into the world 2 weeks ago.

We found this doctor after several years of struggling to conceive a child and being treated by specialists who knew nothing about infertility. The doctor immediately outlined a definite plan of action, ordered the right diagnostic tests, and referred us to the hospital for testing. As a result, the treatment progressed in the right direction.[…]

The best doctor we could have come across; she managed our pregnancy with great commitment.

Patient and taking every moment to help or clear up doubts if necessary. Thanks to the Doctor, we are parents of a 5-month-old miracle baby. Highly recommended

Dr Baran is by far the gentlest, most thorough gynaecologist interested in the patient’s concerns that I have ever encountered.

Immense knowledge of endometriosis, the skills to provide complete ultrasound testing for it and the know how to guide a patient dealing with this unpleasant disease. […]

I highly recommend pregnancy management. My past experience with other doctors was that there was little to be gained from the appointments, the doctors were reluctant to tell me what they saw, unwilling to answer questions, and Ms Joanna answered every single one, demonstrating an enormous amount of patience. Highly recommended.

Although our little sunshine is already 6 years old, so far, when I look at her, I still have Dr Chrostowski and the Artvimed clinic in my mind… Dr Chrostowski has got that something about him that, when you are in his office, you know that you couldn’t have found a better place. I will always highly recommend ARTVIMED to everyone.

Ps. I still am in awe of how the embryologists work…how they ‘managed’ to create such a miracle… 😉 Thank you for being there

Very matter-of-fact doctor; she informs you thoroughly about everything and explains everything comprehensively. She informed me of the treatment plan and was very kind, gentle and understanding.

We would like to thank the entire ARTVIMED Team – our little miracle was born 2 weeks ago. Many thanks are due, in particular, to Dr Posadzka, through whom the right diagnostic work began, and to Dr Chrostowski, who guided further treatment, punctures, and transfer. I also had the pleasure of dealing with most of the doctors during the course of my diagnosis and each one showed a great deal of support and professionalism. We would also like to thank the Embryology Team – without you, our son would not be here. Thank you for the beautiful work of the whole clinic!
