Why are gynecologic ultrasounds performed?

Ultrasounds are performed to evaluate abnormal periods, pelvic pain, ovarian cysts, fibroids, infertility, and other gynecologic problems. We can view the pelvic organs either from the abdomen or with the use of a special vaginal probe. In certain situations, we recommend an ultrasound test called a sonohysterogram, in which water is instilled into the uterus to help define polyps or other abnormalities. Doppler studies can also be performed in our office when indicated to determine the risk of cancer.

Why are ultrasounds needed in pregnancy?

Obgyn — Ultra Sound Services in Manchester, NH

In early pregnancy, we can scan for possible miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy (pregnancy in the tube), or measure the baby to determine due dates. Fetal anatomic assessment and genetic evaluations are performed around 19 weeks to look at the baby's anatomy and to determine if there are any problems with the baby, uterus, and/or placenta. We also offer our patients nuchal translucency ultrasounds, which are usually performed around 12 weeks' gestation as a part of genetic screening.

Many other uses of the ultrasound in pregnancy exist. Ultrasounds can be used to monitor the baby's growth and well being, to determine which way it is facing, or to evaluate problems such as bleeding or leaking fluid. They are key to helping ensure your baby is healthy and developing normally.
