Preparation for pelvic organ research

Ultrasound examination of the pelvic organs
Ultrasound examination of the pelvic organs is recommended to take place on the 5th day after the end of menstruation, so that the results of the examination are more accurate and are not distorted due to the thickening of the endometrium during menstruation. Because of this, small neoplasms can remain unnoticed. Depending on the disease, the doctor prescribes a type of ultrasound. But a clearer picture can be seen using only combined diagnostics, which includes transvaginal and transabdominal diagnostics.
