A member asked:
How accurate is a transabdominal ultrasound in assessing an ovarian cyst? had to stop transvagingal ultrasound, extremely painful
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends: If the bladder is well distended so as to provide a "window" to see the ovary, the transabdominal ultrasound may be sufficient.

Depends: This depends on a number of factors: the quality of the ultrasound machine; how much your urinary bladder was distended; and particular location of the ovaries in your pelvis.
