What is an ultrasound?

An ultrasound is a noninvasive, painless procedure that uses high-frequency sound waves to develop images of structures inside your body. 

Ultrasounds at Mesbah OB/GYN allow your specialist to view your reproductive organs or your unborn baby. These imaging procedures are part of comprehensive women’s health services available at Mesbah OB/GYN.

Why might I need an ultrasound?

You may need ultrasounds at Mesbah OB/GYN to view:

• Unborn baby
• ovarian cysts
• Blood flow
• Reproductive organs
• Possible gynecological problems
• Urinary issues
• Source of pelvic pain
• Abnormal menstrual bleeding
• Certain medical problems

Ultrasounds available at Mesbah OB/GYN produce clear images of internal body structures, allowing your specialist to provide top-quality obstetrics and gynecology care. 

What happens during an ultrasound?

While there’s no special preparation needed prior to undergoing ultrasounds at Mesbah OB/GYN, your provider may ask you to empty your bladder or keep a full bladder. You might also change into a hospital gown.

During the procedure, you can expect:

Transvaginal ultrasounds

During transvaginal ultrasounds, your provider inserts a painless transducer into your vagina to develop images of your uterus and other reproductive organs.

Pelvic ultrasounds

During a pelvic ultrasound, your specialist places gel on your abdominal area. They use a handheld ultrasound device to create pictures of your unborn baby or other structures inside your body.

Transvaginal and pelvic ultrasounds at Mesbah OB/GYN are painless procedures that produce real-time images of internal body structures.

What should I expect after the procedure?

After undergoing an ultrasound, there’s no downtime. You can resume a normal daily routine immediately afterward. Your OB/GYN specialist reviews the results with you. If you’re pregnant, they give you a copy of images of your unborn baby to take home with you. 

Your specialist lets you know if you need further diagnostic testing or treatment for a gynecological or pregnancy concern.
