Can transvaginal ultrasound cause tear?

Dr. Bruce J. Stringer answered

Specializes in Radiology

Of What?: Of a tight, intact hymen? Yes it can. The vagina? If the examiner suddenly thought she or he was churning butter, or had a severe seizure during the exam then it might happen but i never saw such an occurrence.
