Understanding the USG Uterus & Adnexa Test
What It Is:
The USG (Ultrasound) Uterus & Adnexa test is a non-invasive, painless imaging test that uses high-frequency sound waves to create detailed images of the uterus and adnexa (ovaries, fallopian tubes, and surrounding structures).
It helps diagnose a range of conditions affecting the female reproductive organs.
Why It's Done:
Diagnosing Reproductive Conditions:
Helps identify abnormalities in the uterus and adnexa, such as fibroids, cysts, tumors, 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 menstrual irregularities.
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 uterus, fluid in the pelvic cavity, fibroids, cysts, tumors, inflammation, or other abnormalities.
Normal Findings:
Uterus and adnexa appear normal in size, shape, and position, with no signs of abnormalities.
Why Your Doctor Might Order This Test:
Symptoms of Reproductive Issues:
If you have symptoms such as pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding, or menstrual irregularities, this test can help diagnose the underlying cause.
Routine Monitoring:
For pregnant patients, this test helps monitor the development of the fetus.
For individuals with known reproductive conditions, this test helps monitor the effectiveness of treatment.
Symptoms That Might Prompt This Test:
Pelvic pain
Abnormal bleeding
Menstrual irregularities
Swelling
Lifestyle and Management:
Depending on your results, your healthcare provider might recommend further tests, treatments, or lifestyle changes to manage reproductive health effectively.
Regular monitoring and follow-up are essential for successful treatment.
