Please tell me, could a vaginal ultra sound miss capturing any cysts?

Dr. Bruce J. Stringer answered

Specializes in Radiology

Capturing?: If you mean detecting, i would say that vaginal ultrasounds can see ovarian cysts down to a few mms in size. So, if the ovaries can be demonstrated, then any cyst of significant size should be seen.
