Doctors usually recommend patients to undergo color ultrasound examination, but how to do rectal color ultrasound?

The difference between B-ultrasound and color ultrasound

Ordinary B-ultrasound: also known as "black and white" ultrasound, medically known as two-dimensional ultrasound, the image shows a two-dimensional cross-sectional image of the organs or structures, and only medical professionals can observe and diagnose it.

Color Doppler ultrasound: medically known as color Doppler ultrasound. Its images can not only show the cross-sectional images of organs or structures, but also use the principle of Doppler to observe the blood flow in blood vessels, such as whether the umbilical cord is wrapped around the fetus's neck.

Vaginal color ultrasound examination is different from other examinations. It does not require holding urine. Married women and women who have had sexual life can do this examination. It can shorten the examination time and there is no need to wait. Raising the hips during the examination will help show the anterior pelvic structures. Transvaginal ultrasound can clearly show the shape, size, follicles, and blood flow of the uterus, endometrium, and bilateral ovaries. It is clearer than abdominal ultrasound and the diagnostic results are more accurate. However, please note that women who have not had sexual life are not suitable for this examination.

It is a method of inserting the B-ultrasound probe into the vagina or rectum for ultrasonic diagnosis. Another probe is added to the ultrasound machine, and the vaginal probe is covered with a disposable condom. The inside and outside of the condom are coated with a disinfectant coupling agent. The doctor or the patient wears gloves and inserts the probe into the vagina for examination. During the operation, the probe handle is tilted, pushed, pulled, and rotated to observe the entire pelvic structure, with a focus on examining the cervix and endometrium. Vaginal color ultrasound is particularly suitable for observing pelvic organs in the small pelvis, monitoring ovulation, confirming ectopic pregnancy, uterine space-occupying diseases, and diagnosing polycystic ovary syndrome and chocolate cysts.
