Question 1

when looking at a transvaginal ultrasound picture which side is left and right?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes neither: If you are looking in the coronal plane (like slicing a loaf vertically side to side) left would be on the right side of the screen and right on the left side. In the sagittal plane, front (anterior) is on the right and back (posterior) is on the left.

Question 2

can u read my transvaginal ultrasound scans if i send them to you?i only have a few pics of my left side scans.

Accepted Answer

No: No, please ask the doctor who ordered the ultrasound or the radiologist who read it.

Question 3

during a transvaginal ultrasound how can you tell which side is your left and which is the right when looking at the screen and vice versa for reg one?

Accepted Answer

Depends : It depends on how the transducer is oriented.  By convetion, the left side of the screen is either toward your head or toward your right.

It would be hard to know which it was unless you knew what you were looking at.

Question 4

if my report from a transvaginal ultrasound says i have a left subserosal fundal type....any chance this fibroid is actually located on the right side of my body?

Accepted Answer

: A transvaginal ultrasound report does not typically get left and right mixed up. But, anything is possible. If your doctor is unsure if the left side is correct, it could be repeated or a different test done to confirm the location. So, see your gynecologist to interpret the result and advise on next steps. Good luck!

Question 5

i had my 10 week transvaginal ultrasound yesterday and my gestational sac was very tight around the baby. the walls of the sac were pressing against her on all sides except a tiny bit of room near her feet. heart rate 180. why is my sac so small?

Accepted Answer

Sonogram findings : You will need to discuss the specifics of your sonogram with your doctor. Obgyns do not typically interpret sonograms in this terminology. Schedule a follow up with the doctor who ordered the sonogram and ask them to walk you through the findings.

Question 6

can you explain what the letters mean in transvaginal ultrasound pls? p 80%, frq 6.7, gn 46, dr 75, fr 34, d 7.0?

Accepted Answer

: For relatively complex medical tests and procedures (like X-rays, ultrasound, MRI, pathology reports, etc), patients who are not themselves medically trained generally should pay attention primarily to the summary and conclusions at the end of the report. Such details as these numbers. They are intended and meaningful mostly to other radiologists, the patient's doctors, etc.

Question 7

if i had a transvaginal ultrasound and they said i am 7 weeks and 1 day, does that mean that i conceived 7 wk 1 d ago? or 2 weeks after that?

Accepted Answer

5 weeks ago.: Conception occurs two weeks after the first day of you last menstrual period presuming a regular cycle and usual facts. So if you are 7 weeks after your LMP you likely conceived about 5 weeks ago. Take Folic Acid 1-5 mg daily and good luck!

Question 8

when does someone need a transvaginal ultrasound?

Accepted Answer

Part of complete u/s: Routine female pelvic ultrasound has two portions to the exam.  The exam starts with a full bladder and scanning with a fan shaped ultrasound (u/s) probe over the lower abdomen and pubic area.  Then the pt is asked to empty her bladder and then a thin long u/s probe is inserted into the vagina for additional pictures.  This portion is important and significantly improves parts of the evaluation.
