What is the difference between vaginal ultrasound and color Doppler ultrasound

Nowadays, many people are very concerned about their physical health, so they often learn some health-related knowledge. For pregnant women, the most important concern is the health of the baby. If you want to understand the baby's development status in time, you must do regular prenatal check-ups. However, during the prenatal check-up, you need to use vaginal ultrasound or color ultrasound for examination. There may be many pregnant women who don’t know how to choose, and don’t know what the differences are between the two. Let us take a look at the differences between vaginal ultrasound and color ultrasound.

First, what is the difference between vaginal ultrasound and color Doppler ultrasound. Vaginal ultrasound, also known as vaginal B-ultrasound, also known as intracavitary B-ultrasound, is a method of ultrasonic diagnosis by inserting the B-ultrasound probe into the vagina or rectum. It is particularly suitable for observing pelvic organs in the small pelvis. Color ultrasound vibrates 20,000 to 1 billion times per second. Sound waves that are inaudible to the human ear are called ultrasound. The imaging discipline that uses the physical properties of ultrasound for diagnosis and treatment is called ultrasound medicine. It has a wide range of clinical applications and has become an indispensable diagnostic method in modern clinical medicine. Vaginal ultrasound is a method of performing color ultrasound. The difference between it and other methods is that the probe is different and the place where the probe is placed is different.

Second, compared with abdominal color ultrasound, transvaginal ultrasound images are clearer and more realistic, the results are more accurate, and the person being examined does not have to "hold urine." It is particularly suitable for ovulation monitoring, diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy, uterine space-occupying diseases, and diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome and chocolate cysts. For those who have had sexual intercourse, a vaginal examination can be performed, and for virgins, a rectal color Doppler ultrasound examination can be performed.

Third, transvaginal ultrasound is performed through the vagina and mainly looks at the pelvic cavity, which is clearer. B-ultrasound is in black and white and can be viewed anywhere. Generally speaking, for the same area, vaginal ultrasound is more expensive than color ultrasound.

The above content fully introduces the differences between vaginal ultrasound and color ultrasound. Therefore, it is recommended not to do vaginal ultrasound during pregnancy. Abdominal color ultrasound is sufficient. If you want to have an abortion, vaginal ultrasound can also be done. Now it is better to use anti-inflammatory drugs to fight infection.
