When a Woman Should Undergo a Pelvic Ultrasound in Lviv

Women’s health and longevity are directly dependent on the condition of the pelvic organs. Gynecological disorders can lead to serious problems throughout the body, reproductive function disorders, and premature menopause, which negatively affect the quality of a woman’s life. During a scheduled visit or during an appointment in the presence of complaints, the method of gynecologic ultrasound examination is used for accurate diagnosis. Gynecologic ultrasound in Lviv at the Korona Medical Center is often used when planning pregnancy, as well as for diagnosing disorders and diseases of the female reproductive system. The advantages of the procedure also include the possibility of its prompt performance in emergency situations.

Gynecologic ultrasound is indicated when there are:

• Menstrual cycle disorders (delays or premature onset), absence of menstruation, excessive or scanty menstrual discharge, vaginal bleeding between menstruation, severe pain during menstruation;
• Lower abdominal pain, suspicion of inflammatory diseases of the uterus and appendages;
• Benign and malignant neoplasms of the genital area;
• Impaired patency of the fallopian tubes;
• Dyshormonal disorders and pathological processes of the reproductive system.

Gynecologic ultrasound is also performed to monitor the condition of patients with chronic diseases and during preventive examinations, when taking contraceptive and hormonal drugs, and when an intrauterine contraceptive is installed.

Indications and Preparation for Ultrasound of the Female Genital Organs

Experts recommend visiting a gynecologist regularly (1–2 times a year), and this applies to both adult women and young girls. Ultrasound of the pelvic organs (uterus, appendages, ovaries) allows for the diagnosis of various abnormalities and diseases in the initial stages.

Preparing for pregnancy is another important reason to visit the clinic and undergo an ultrasound examination. Gynecologic ultrasound also allows you to identify the causes of infertility.

The need for ultrasound and the optimal method of examination in each case is determined by the doctor, who informs the patient about how to prepare for the diagnosis:

• Preparation for ultrasound of the pelvic organs through the abdomen involves filling the bladder: the patient should drink 1 liter of water 1 hour before the examination.
• Transvaginal examination does not require prior preparation; the patient’s bladder should be emptied.
• One or two days before the procedure, it is advisable to avoid products that cause increased gas formation.

Possibilities of Pelvic Ultrasound in Lviv

Many diseases of the female genital area in the initial stages proceed without symptoms. However, deviations from the norm detected using ultrasound waves indicate the presence of certain problems. Timely ultrasound examination allows detection of the following diseases and conditions in the early stages:

• Ectopic pregnancy
• Salpingitis, adnexitis, endometriosis
• Polyps on the walls of the uterus
• Polycystic ovary and tumors
• Narrowing or presence of adhesions in the tubes, obstruction of the tubes
• Uterine fibroids
• Malignant neoplasms of the uterus
• Rupture of an ovarian cyst (due to the presence of a large amount of free fluid in the pelvis behind the uterus).

Ultrasound examination is one of the safest and most reliable diagnostic methods in modern medicine. According to statistics, it helps detect 90–95% of pelvic diseases.

Features of Ultrasound for Pregnant Women in Lviv

Ultrasound of pregnant women is recommended to be performed:

• In the early stages (11–13 weeks), as well as at 18–22 weeks — this makes it possible to timely detect possible pathologies of the child during pregnancy;
• At 30–35 weeks — to assess the pace of development of the baby and accurately determine the position of the fetus.

These screenings are preventive measures. If any abnormalities are suspected, or if there are complaints (pain, discharge), the gynecologist may prescribe an additional examination. The price of ultrasound in the early stages of pregnancy in Lviv is usually lower and may increase with the progression of the pregnancy trimester.

Effective Gynecology at the Korona Clinic in Lviv

The Korona Medical Center provides professional gynecologic ultrasound in Lviv using the following methods:

• Transabdominal ultrasound. Examination of the female reproductive organs through the anterior abdominal wall. During a transabdominal ultrasound, doctors determine the size of the pelvic organs, assess their structure and function, detect tumors, cysts, inflammatory processes, etc. This examination is used to determine causes of menstrual irregularities, infertility treatment, pregnancy diagnosis, and tumors.
• Transvaginal ultrasound. For examination, a special device with a highly sensitive sensor is inserted directly into the vagina, which allows obtaining a detailed high-quality image of the organs. The method is effective for examination and detection of pathologies of the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries in the early stages, or, if necessary, to track the process of follicle maturation. During transvaginal ultrasound, it is possible to accurately determine the size of the cervix, take a tissue biopsy for further histological examination, etc.

During a gynecological examination using an expert-level ultrasound device, our doctor receives visual information about:

• The width, length, and thickness of the uterus, its integrity, smoothness of the walls, and its location relative to other organs
• The structure of the muscles of the uterus and endometrium
• Pathologies and neoplasms of the cervix
• The structure of the fallopian tubes
• The condition and size of the ovaries, the reserve of follicles, the duration of the ovulation process
• The state of the pelvic vessels

The images of the internal organs obtained during the study are displayed on a monitor. Thanks to these highly accurate results of ultrasound examination of the uterus and other female organs, the doctor is able to make an accurate diagnosis and prescribe treatment.
