A member asked:
My doctor sent me to the hospital to take a pelvic ultrasound. why do they scan from inside the vagina?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Closer to organs: Since the uterus and ovaries are usually low in the pelvis, looking at them through the vagina means the probe is close to them and therefore gets a better image.
