Understanding the USG Pelvis Test
What It Is:
The USG (Ultrasound) Pelvis test is a non-invasive, painless imaging test that uses high-frequency sound waves to create detailed images of the organs and structures within the pelvic region.
It helps diagnose a range of conditions affecting the bladder, rectum, and reproductive organs.
The test covers the following organs:
Bladder
Rectum
Prostate (in males)
Uterus and ovaries (in females)
Fallopian tubes (in females)
Why It's Done:
Diagnosing Pelvic Conditions:
Helps identify abnormalities in the pelvic organs, such as tumors, cysts, or inflammation.
Assists in diagnosing conditions like pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), endometriosis, and ectopic pregnancy.
Monitoring Health:
Used to monitor the development of a fetus during pregnancy.
Helps evaluate symptoms such as pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding, and urinary issues.
How the Test Works:
Preparation:
No special preparation is required. Drink plenty of water before the USG procedure to ensure a full bladder.
Procedure:
A trained radiologist will apply a gel to the pelvic area and gently move the probe (transducer) over the skin, generating real-time images.
The ultrasound machine sends sound waves into the pelvis, and the resulting images are recorded on a computer.
You may need to momentarily turn or hold your breath to capture the best possible views.
Understanding the Results:
Abnormal Findings:
Enlarged organs, fluid in the pelvic cavity, tumors, cysts, inflammation, or other abnormalities.
Normal Findings:
Organs and structures appear normal in size, shape, and position, with no signs of abnormalities.
