✨ Educational Monday! ✨
Have you experienced a Transva**nal Ultrasound (TVS)?
A TVS is a type of pelvic ultrasound where a thin probe (about the size of a finger) is gently inserted into the va**na.
👉 Purpose? To get a clearer look at the uterus, ovaries, cervix, and surrounding structures.
👉 Don’t worry — safe ito! It only uses sound waves (no radiation).
⸻
💕Bakit ginagawa ang TVS?
✔️ Early pregnancy check-ups (confirm pregnancy, detect heartbeat, check location, date the pregnancy)
✔️ Fertility evaluation (monitor ovaries, follicles, endometrial lining)
✔️ Gynecologic concerns (abnormal bleeding, pelvic pain, cysts, fibroids, pelvic masses)
✔️ Cervical length monitoring (for preterm labor risk)
⸻
💕Paano ito ginagawa?
1️⃣ Empty bladder muna (hindi katulad ng abdominal scan na dapat puno)
2️⃣ Higa sa exam bed, knees bent (parang pelvic exam)
3️⃣ Probe is covered with a sheath + gel
4️⃣ Gently inserted into va**na
5️⃣ Real-time images appear on the monitor
🕒 Usually takes 10–15 minutes only!
⸻
😊 Is it painful or safe?
✨ Generally not painful (konting pressure lang minsan)
✨ Very safe — no radiation
✨ Safe even in pregnancy (lalo na sa early weeks)
