A member asked:
I am 48, perimenopause, and i think i had 1 mid-cycle spot. my dr. wants a transvaginal ultrasound. is this necessary?

Yes: Probably. If you end up having a problem with the uterus it is much better to catch it early rather than later. If that's the result of the ultrasound then you will be extremely grateful that it was done. One of the signs of a potential problem is abnormal bleeding in your age group (possibly with some other risk factors). Get it done.
