Accepted Answer

: Has a gynecologist examined you? If not consult one. Most vulval lumps are benign, but can be from HPV or even herpes. If you're not satisfied with your care or uncertain of the diagnosis get a second opinion or consult a gynecologic surgeon at an academic center or a dermatologist.

Question 2

burning raw feeling bottom labia majora mostly left but sometimes right. had probe ultrasound, culture for bacteria, contrast scan, all normal!

Accepted Answer

Needs an exam: Lumps, bumps, blisters and other skin abnormalities on the genitals need to be evaluated. An examination will be needed to know the cause and treatment. Burning  could be herpes, yeast, vulvar vestibulitis, blocked glands or an allergic reaction to household products. Over the counter Prevaleaf Soothe is a great product for this. A thorough exam will be needed to determine the cause and treatment

Question 3

have a vulvar mass inside left labia. ultrasound revealed internal:regular, echogenicity: heterogeneous, solid measuring 10x7mm, no iincreased vascullarization seen inside or surrounding the mass. dr wants ne to continue with self-exams abd report asap if

Accepted Answer

Question incomplete!: Your question is incomplete. With any mass, after assessment, it is common to monitor over time, if there is no evidence of cancer.  It is always smart to get a second opinion, and you are entitled to one.

Question 4

at 12 weeks the ultrasound technician saw that my fetus has penetrated the empty sac of the vanishing twin.how could this be?

Accepted Answer

Good question: I am not sure what the ultrasound technician may have meant if he/she really stated the surviving fetus has penetrated the empty sac of the vanishing twin. If he/she is implying that the membranes of the vanishing twin are somehow wrapping around the surviving fetus, then this is a situation that you would want to have clarified by a Maternal Fetal Medicine specialist. Discuss a referral.

Question 5

how long does it take for a ultrasound technician to find  a fetal heartbeat in 6 week 5 day fetus on transvaginal us. i asked if she seen a heartbeat & she said no, but she was rushy & moved the wand around in me super fast. ?

Accepted Answer

Ultrasound: should see the heart beating. If there is an error in the due date calculation, because of late ovulation, this can be what is seen.  Repeat testing of the pregnancy hormone and ultrasound can be appropriate with your doctor's advice.

Question 6

how a fetus age is known by ultrasound?

Accepted Answer

By measurements: the crow-rump (head-bottom) lengths of the fetus and looking up from the chart, one can easily estimate the gestational age from fetal ultrasound imaging study.

Question 7

irregular heartbeat in a fetus on ultrasound? shuoldnt it be treated?

Accepted Answer

Depends: There are some fetal cardiac arythmias that needs treatment while in utero, but not all of them. It is recommended to discuss this problem with a maternal fetal medicine specialist that will provide all the necessary info.

Question 8

when i had my transvginal ultrasound at 6 weeks the fetus had heartbeat but at 9 weeks the heartbeat was gone. what could be the cause?

Accepted Answer

Genetic abnormality: You had an early fetal demise. This is fairly common and most often its a chromosomal (gene) abnormality during early development that is responsible.

Question 9

what's doppler ultrasound exams are done on the fetus or placenta?

Accepted Answer

Check blood flow: The doppler exam is using ultrasound to asses the blood flow to the baby or placenta.  It is a tool for assessing the health of the baby and monitoring the effects of certain problems such as diabetes or hypertension.

Question 10

how do i know if my fetus has an abnormally small head based on only one ultrasound?

Accepted Answer

Based on other scans: All dimensions of the baby are measured. The gestational age of your baby is determined. His/her measements should be consistent with the range of normal for other babies the same gestational age. And all of the measurements should be consistent with eachother.  Ex. You should not have a leg the measures 28wk and a head that measures like a 22wk baby.
