Gynecology is a very important department. In hospitals, gynecology is actually a very large department. Gynecology often requires ultrasound examination. Pay attention to the timing of gynecological ultrasound examination. There are certain differences in the timing of ultrasound examinations for different parts of the gynecology department. So what is the best time for gynecological ultrasound examination?
1. Before menstruation: check for uterine abnormalities, intrauterine adhesions, etc
For uterine malformations, intrauterine adhesions, etc., it is suitable to schedule the examination time before the onset of menstruation every month. In the days before menstruation, the endometrium is thicker, which is better for observing the morphology and continuity of the endometrium, and is more conducive to doctors making the best judgment.
2. On the fifth day of menstruation: check for ovarian cysts, space occupying lesions in the uterine cavity, diverticulum at the cesarean section incision, and endometrial lesions
Under ultrasound, many ovarian cysts appear similar to follicles and are difficult to distinguish. On the fifth day of menstruation, follicles have not yet developed significantly, and this is the best time for examination.
In addition, the fifth day of menstruation is not only suitable for the observation of ovarian cysts, but also for the observation of uterine space occupying lesions, cesarean section incisional diverticula, and endometrial lesions.
3. On the tenth day of menstruation: monitoring follicles
For infertile patients, the most common examination is to monitor follicles under ultrasound, and it is generally recommended to start monitoring follicles around the tenth day of menstruation. At this point, ultrasound can observe the presence of dominant follicles, as well as their morphology, quantity, growth and development, and ovulation status, in order to guide patients towards conception. For patients with short or long menstrual cycles, the monitoring timing can be appropriately advanced or delayed.
4. Avoid menstrual period: check for uterine fibroids and adenomyosis
If it is a common disease such as uterine fibroids or adenomyosis, there are no strict requirements for the menstrual cycle, and the examination can avoid the menstrual period. Women who want to undergo gynecological ultrasound examination need to choose the right time in order to obtain more accurate examination results.
