Why is ultrasound used?
Ultrasound imaging of the female reproductive tract is an important part of all gynaecological, obstetrical and infertility practice. It is used to aid in the initial diagnosis, plan surgery, monitor pregnancies and is an essential part of in vitro fertilization. Ultrasound images can also be used to determine how many eggs are to be expected and when they are ready to be released.
In a fertility practice, most ultrasounds are done using a vaginal or “internal” probe. The device is narrow and specially contoured so as not to cause discomfort, allowing the probe to be as close as possible to the uterus and ovaries, producing a much more detailed image than would be obtained using an external probe.
As well as having in-house ultrasound at Fertility North, we offer a full range of ultrasound services, including gynaecology, obstetric and general ultrasounds, at Ultrasound North.
