Transvaginal Ultrasound

What Is

Transvaginal Ultrasound?

Transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) is a procedure where an ultrasound probe is inserted about two or three inches into the vagina (transvaginal means through the vagina) to thoroughly examine the female reproductive organs, including the uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, cervix, and the pelvic area.

A transvaginal ultrasound uses sound waves to obtain images without any radiation involved. It allows for optimal visualization of the female pelvic organs by providing higher quality images than would be obtained from an abdominal ultrasound scan.
