A transvaginal ultrasound is a painless, three-dimensional imaging test that is conducted internally (with the transducer probe introduced through the vagina). This outpatient procedure allows for the visualization and diagnosis of a variety of pelvic conditions ranging from endometrial polyps to unexplained pain and/or bleeding, benign fibroid tumors and ovarian cysts. It usually takes about 15 minutes to perform and may be a follow-up to (external) abdominal ultrasound. However, whereas you may have been told to have a full bladder for the prior procedure, you will be allowed to empty it prior to the transvaginal exam.
