Why do I need both a tranabdominal and endovaginal pelvic ultrasound?
The Tran abdominal ultrasound utilizes the full bladder as a window to look at the pelvis. This gives the big picture of all the pelvic organs. The endovaginal scan gives a more limited but detailed image of the uterus and the ovaries. Most of the times both types of scans are needed to fully evaluate the pelvic organs.
