A member asked:
I had breast cancer & need tvus to check for ovarian ca., but at 67 can't tolerate the tvus probe-can i get meds/anesthetic to undergo successful tvus?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Conscious sedation is 'light' anesthesia (not quite general anesthesia) and this might be just enough to get through the tvus.

Absolutely: This is called an eua, or an examination under anesthesia. It is a common procedure and ultrasound can easily be incorporated into it.
