Transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) is a diagnostic imaging procedure used to visualize the pelvic organs in women. It involves the insertion of a small ultrasound probe into the vagina to obtain detailed images of the uterus, ovaries, and surrounding structures. TVS is commonly used to evaluate conditions such as pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding, ovarian cysts, uterine fibroids, and infertility issues. This procedure provides high-resolution images and allows for better visualization of pelvic anatomy compared to abdominal ultrasound. It's typically well-tolerated, minimally invasive, and does not usually require any special preparation. TVS is an important tool in gynecological assessment and helps healthcare providers in diagnosing and managing various pelvic conditions.
