TVS full form in medical term is Transvaginal Ultrasound. The transabdominal ultrasound isn’t as effective as TVS, therefore, to check or scan the organs around the pelvis, doctors usually prefer Transvaginal ultrasound. With such an ultrasound method, doctors can diagnose and check for any diseases in the uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, and vagina.
Before TVS diagnostic procedure, many patients ask whether it is painful by getting diagnosed with TVS or not. With such an ultrasound method, doctors use a cylindrical probe connected to the computer for generating imagery. The probe is properly lubricated before the procedure, and it is not a painful procedure, but you may feel somewhat uncomfortable. This test is quite a good alternative to transabdominal ultrasound and conventional x-rays.
Since exposing genital organs or possible tumorous structures to x-ray radiation is not a good idea, therefore ultrasound is always a good choice. Benign growth of Fibroid tumors , cysts, and other types of tumorous structures can be diagnosed with Transvaginal Ultrasound. It can be performed if you’re on your period, and there are no such preparations required.
