Abstract
Three hundred twenty-nine cases of early pregnancy and 116 pelvic pathology studied by transabdominal sonography were compared with 81 cases of early pregnancy and 88 cases of pelvic pathology subjected to transvaginal sonography. A high frequency vaginal probe, because of its close proximity with the target organ, produces remarkably sharp image. An accurate diagnosis is possible in great majority of cases within a short time. Vaginal sonography is done with an empty bladder. A close serial monitoring of ovarian follicles, endometrium and cervical mucus with transvaginal sonography offers an immense wealth of information about the structural and reproductive endocrinal status of the patient. Ovulation can be predicted in advance. Imaging of female reproductive system by transvaginal sonography is indispensable for any modern gynaecological care and for infertility assessment in particular.
