What Do The Pelvic And Vaginal Ultrasound Reports Indicate?
Hi! I had a pelvic and vaginal ultrasound today to get an idea of why I haven t had a period in over a year and a half... I ve never had an ultrasound, but I did see some black spots on my ovaries during the process. I have to wait through the weekend for the details from my doctor, but I m feeling quite anxious about it. During the vaginal ultrasound it was very painful for the tech to look at my left ovary and even causes some cramping afterward. I m not looking for a diagnosis here, but maybe just comfort? Should I be so freaked out?

Hello,
An abdominal ultrasound gives an overview of the abdominal organs but a vaginal ultrasound evaluates the ovaries and uterus best. It would detect any increase of size, any abnormality of ovaries or uterus. Also, indicated are some hormonal tests from the blood which might help.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
