When To Get Ultrasound Services
The most popular use of ultrasound is for pregnancy monitoring. The doctor uses ultrasound to check the status of the fetus’ health, as well as the uterus and ovaries throughout the pregnancy. However, ultrasound has plenty of other uses.
It can be used to diagnose gallbladder disease and assess and evaluate the quality of blood, joint inflammation, or metabolic bone disease. It’s also a very useful tool to examine for any genital or prostate problems, thyroid gland issues, or breast lumps.
Safe Ultrasound Procedure
Ultrasound procedures are known to be absolutely safe, with no known risks. It uses lower-power sound waves, which is also why it can only work in a limited range. Despite its limitations, it still offers valuable information that can help your doctor determine the right course of treatment as needed.
Your doctor will advise as to what kind of ultrasound you will need. You will then need to go to a trained sonographer to complete the procedure.
During the procedure, your attendant will apply a water-based gel on the surface area to help facilitate a clearer reading of the image. In cases where ultrasound is required inside the body, a probe will be inserted through a natural opening, such as the esophagus.
Ultrasounds are generally painless, but an internal one may yield some mild discomfort, although it’s still nothing to worry about.
