Gynecological Ultrasound + Doppler is a diagnostic method that combines standard gynecological ultrasound with Doppler testing, allowing precise assessment of blood flow in the blood vessels of the reproductive system, including the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. This procedure uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of internal organs and measure blood flow speed, which helps detect various problems.
Gynecological Ultrasound + Doppler can be performed transabdominally, where gel is applied to the abdomen, or transvaginally, where a probe is inserted into the vagina for a more detailed examination. The Doppler method uses ultrasound to measure the speed and direction of blood flow through blood vessels, providing precise information about the vascular health of reproductive organs.
This examination is performed for several reasons:
- Monitoring pregnancy, especially in high-risk cases, such as pregnant women with high blood pressure or diabetes.
- Detecting blood flow problems, such as blockages or narrowing of blood vessels.
- Diagnosing fertility or infertility problems.
- Detecting abnormalities in the uterus, ovaries, or fallopian tubes, such as fibroids, cysts, or tumors.
- Monitoring the condition in cases of complications such as preeclampsia or poor placental function.
Gynecological Ultrasound + Doppler usually takes between 20 and 30 minutes, depending on the complexity of the examination and the specific needs of the patient.
