Dr. Kanupriya Sharma, Dr. Rehana Najam

Abstract :

 Introduction: Advances in ultrasound scanning technology have improved the noninvasive diagnosis of uterine pathology. TV U/S was first introduced in the mid 1980s. A Transvaginal USG is done in most cases, because it minimizes patient discomfort due to a full bladder and shorter distance between the transducer and target organs. Transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) has had a major impact on many areas of gynaecological practice, and in particular as the investigative tool of choice prior to surgery. We undertook this study to study the use and accuracy of TVS in diagnosing gynaecological disorders.

Material and method: A total of 100 patients attending the OPDs with complaint of menstrual irregularities, pain abdomen, mass per abdomen, infertility were selected for the study. A thorough clinical examination including general, systemic and pelvic examination was conducted after taking a detailed history. Complete blood and urine investigations were done. TVS was done in all cases.

 

Result: On history and clinical examination 35 cases were diagnosed as cases of dysfunctional uterine bleeding but on trans vaginal ultrasonography only 29 were found to be the cases of DUB and rest 07 cases were found to be fioid.  Clinically 21 cases were diagnosed as fioid and proved to be same on TVS. On the other hand 22 cases were diagnosed as cases of pelvic inflammatory disease on history and clinical examination but on TVS only 19 cases were found to be the cases of PID and rest 3 cases were found to be ovarian cysts. Clinically by per vaginal examination16 cases were diagnosed as ovarian cysts and were diagnosed of having the same on TVS.

 

Conclusion: TVS has higher diagnostic accuracy than clinical examination and it should be considered as an excellent approach for the initial evaluation of uterine and its adnexal pathologies.
