Although ultrasounds are commonly performed during a pregnancy, gynecologic screenings may be necessary to identify any abnormalities in the pelvic area.
The board-certified perinatologists at Magee-Womens Imaging perform ultrasounds either trans-abdominally or trans-vaginally. The pain-free procedure typically lasts 40 minutes.
Perinatologists can obtain a clear visual of potential problems, such as:
- Pelvic or abdominal pain
- Irregular menstrual bleeding
- Any suspected pelvic abnormality identified during a physical exam
He or she will then collaborate with your physician to interpret your ultrasound and identify a personalized treatment plan.
