The structure of the female reproductive system is very special, and from the appearance, the vulva part tightly surrounds the urethra and vagina, as if it were an extra protective layer. Even so, if women do not pay attention to the hygiene of their private parts, they are still susceptible to bacterial infections and cause gynecological diseases.
Some women are reluctant to go to the hospital even when they are sick because they are afraid to show their private parts to the doctor. In particular, there is an examination called vaginal ultrasound, which makes women feel shy and scared.
What is vaginal ultrasound?
Vaginal ultrasound is mainly to put the ultrasound probe into the vagina to understand the specific conditions of the uterus, ovaries, and pelvis.
Many women are reluctant to do so, not only because they are shy, but also because they are worried that it will be painful during the examination. However, in fact, the examination of vaginal B-ultrasound generally does not cause women to feel pain, and there is no need to hold urine in advance to do vaginal B-ultrasound, which is very convenient.
Therefore, women should try to relax their emotions and not be overly nervous when receiving vaginal B ultrasound.
Vul-type B-ultrasound is mainly used in clinical practice to detect ovulation, polycystic ovary syndrome, diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy and uterine space-occupying diseases, and compared with the traditional abdominal B-ultrasound, the results of vaginal B-ultrasound are more accurate, even if there are small organic lesions in the pelvis, it can be judged by this examination.
However, not all women are suitable for vaginal ultrasound, and the following three types of women should try to avoid vaginal ultrasound examination so as not to affect their health.
1. Women who have never had sex
Women can not do vaginal B ultrasound before they have started to have sex, because such women have a hymen outside the vagina, and it is still in good condition, if the probe of vaginal B ultrasound is forcibly put into the vagina, it is easy to cause hymen tearing, so women feel pain and bleeding, so such women should choose to do abdominal B ultrasound.
2. Women during menstruation or in the acute phase of gynecological inflammation
Women should avoid vaginal ultrasound during menstruation, because during this period of time, the uterus is in the case of endometrial shedding and bleeding, and the vaginal environment is relatively poor, which is not conducive to examination.
If you are in the acute phase of gynecological inflammation, the condition is not stable at this time, and the chance of uterine infection may increase, which will worsen the gynecological disease.
3. Pregnant women in the middle and late stages
When a pregnant woman reaches the middle and late stages, the belly will be significantly enlarged, and the uterus, bladder and other parts will be severely compressed.
The above three types of women are best to understand the specific situation of the body by doing abdominal ultrasound according to the condition of the patient, so as not to adversely affect the body.
The vaginal ultrasound is mainly suitable for women with hypertrophy of abdominal fat, deep ovaries or women who cannot do abdominal ultrasound. Although the vaginal ultrasound examination may make women feel shy, in order to understand the specific situation of the body, everyone should adjust their psychological state and actively cooperate with the examination to facilitate the diagnosis of the condition.
