Pelvic endovaginal ultrasound

Pelvic endovaginal ultrasound is a simple, quick, and painless examination. It allows precise visualization of the uterus, its lining (endometrium), the ovaries, and the fallopian tubes.

A thin probe, covered with a protective sheath and gel, is gently inserted into the vagina to obtain very clear images of the pelvic organs. The exam uses ultrasound waves — no X-rays — and is therefore completely safe. No special preparation is needed, and it is performed with an empty bladder, unlike abdominal ultrasound.

Its purpose is to detect early any possible abnormalities such as fibroids, cysts, or polyps. The procedure takes about ten minutes and is carried out by a physician trained in this technique. Depending on the program, it may be combined with a cervical smear (Pap test) to screen for cervical cancer. This examination is an essential preventive tool for women’s ongoing gynecological health.
