A member asked:

What is ultrasound? virgin 18 and want to examine brownish things in my pads and possible uterine lining overgrowth. possible?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ultrasound: An ultrasound is a painless test using a wand or probe which is pressed over the abdomen, or in some cases inserted into the vagina. An image of soft structures is produced on a screen, which is then reviewed by your doctor. It is a valuable, safe tool to evaluate problems with the female reproductive system.
