Gynecological ultrasound (USG)
Gynecological USG is an important diagnostic tool that allows doctors to assess the health of a woman’s reproductive system. This procedure uses sound waves to obtain images from inside the body, enabling specialists to visualize the uterus, ovaries, and other reproductive organs.
At “Republikas laukuma klīnika,” highly qualified specialists perform gynecological ultrasound (USG) in a comfortable manner to diagnose problems that cannot be detected during a regular physical examination.
Indications for gynecological USG in women’s health
Gynecological USG is used to diagnose a variety of women’s health issues. The main indications include:
- Menstrual disorders – excessive or irregular bleeding
- Pelvic pain – acute or chronic
- Tumor diagnostics – both benign (myomas, ovarian cysts) and malignant
- Infertility investigation – assessment of the ovaries, uterus, and fallopian tubes
Gynecological USG is especially useful for checking the condition of the uterine cavity, endometrial thickness, and ovarian size. It also helps evaluate pregnancy complications, such as ectopic pregnancy.
The importance of gynecological USG at different stages of a woman’s life
Gynecological ultrasonography (USG) offers significant diagnostic solutions at various stages of a woman’s life. Its application varies depending on the patient’s age and physiological condition.
Examinations for women of reproductive age
In reproductive age, gynecological ultrasound examinations are essential for evaluating menstrual cycle disorders. Doctors assess the structure of the uterine cavity, endometrial thickness, and the condition of the ovaries.
Gynecological USG helps diagnose:
- Signs of endometriosis
- Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
- Myomas (benign uterine tumors)
- Ovarian cysts
In infertility investigations, ultrasound allows monitoring of follicle development and determination of ovulation timing.
In cases of inflammation, USG helps determine the extent and severity of pelvic inflammatory disease. Early detection of problems enables faster initiation of treatment.
Screening for menopausal and postmenopausal women
During menopause and postmenopause, gynecological USG examinations become especially important for monitoring endometrial changes. Measurements of endometrial thickness help identify potentially dangerous changes. Regular screening reduces the risk of oncological diseases.
Monitoring during pregnancy
During pregnancy, USG is a safe and informative examination that provides vital information about fetal development.
Overall, gynecological ultrasonography is an important diagnostic instrument that allows visualization of the female reproductive system. This technology is non-invasive and provides quick information about internal organs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Gynecological ultrasound is a diagnostic method used to examine pelvic organs (uterus, ovaries, bladder, and rectum) using an ultrasound probe that is inserted into the vagina (transvaginal USG).
Pelvic ultrasound (USG) assesses ovarian cysts, ectopic pregnancy, pelvic infections, and uterine structural anomalies. By combining 3D ultrasonography with Doppler USG, we can diagnose the development of malignant processes and changes in uterine structures. Transvaginal ultrasonography helps evaluate pelvic organ prolapse and other urinary tract disorders.
For healthy women without complaints, it is recommended to have a preventive gynecological ultrasound once a year. This recommendation is especially relevant for women over the age of 40.
For women with chronic gynecological conditions, the frequency of examinations is determined by the attending physician. For pregnant women, ultrasound is performed according to pregnancy monitoring protocols, usually 3–4 times during the entire pregnancy.
Technically, gynecological ultrasound can be performed during menstruation, but it may affect the accuracy of the results. Increased bleeding can make it difficult to measure endometrial thickness and evaluate the uterine cavity.
Optimally, the examination should be performed in the first half of the menstrual cycle, on days 5–10. However, in acute cases, gynecological ultrasonography can be performed on any day of the cycle, with the doctor taking possible limitations in result interpretation into account.
The price of gynecological ultrasound at “Republikas laukuma klīnika” as part of a consultation is 45.00 euros, and outside of a consultation, 50.00 euros.
