How the research works

Ultrasound examination is carried out using a special device that records the echo reflected from the organs and sends data to the transducer. Information is displayed on the monitor screen in the form of a two- or three-dimensional image in real time.

An ultrasound takes no more than 15–20 minutes. The patient is in a supine position. The specialist moves a special sensor connected to a monitor over his skin. After the procedure is completed, the patient can continue to lead his normal lifestyle.

Ultrasound during pregnancy

Ultrasound examination during pregnancy is a modern and safe way to determine the condition of the fetus and its proper development.

Why do an ultrasound during pregnancy?

Ultrasound examinations are necessary during pregnancy: with their help, the intrauterine development of the child is assessed and the health of the expectant mother is monitored. Ultrasound scanning can be carried out even at the earliest stages.

The value of ultrasound technology lies in the fact that this method guarantees the most complete, comprehensive examination of the fetus being carried by a woman. The accuracy of all data obtained using ultrasound is incredibly high. Thanks to ultrasound, you can accurately determine the gestational age, the number of embryos, the presentation of the fetus, and find out the sex of the unborn child. An ultrasound examination determines the amount of amniotic fluid and the condition of the pregnant woman’s cervix. Ultrasound is indispensable in identifying the features of the development and structure of the placenta and umbilical cord, determining the intensity of blood flow in the placenta and umbilical cord.

Pregnancy management using ultrasound is especially important in multiple pregnancies. Regular ultrasound examination allows you to monitor any unfavorable changes in the condition of the mother and fetus and immediately take appropriate medical measures.

Data obtained using ultrasound waves enable the doctor to effectively identify any problems during pregnancy and conduct highly accurate diagnostics of a wide range of fetal malformations and other pathological conditions.

Ultrasound screening

Ultrasound is a highly informative and completely safe diagnostic method, as a result of which it is used for prenatal screening. Every woman expecting a child must undergo three routine screenings during pregnancy. Its accuracy using ultrasound is very high.

The first screening ultrasound at 11-13 weeks is of particular importance for further pregnancy management. It is during this period that markers of the most common congenital defects and anomalies can be identified in the fetus. A qualitative study allows you to evaluate 20 different indicators, including specific markers of chromosomal abnormalities.

The second (at a period of 20-24 weeks) and the third screening ultrasound 9 at a period of 30-34 weeks) are carried out in combination with the Doppler procedure. Doppler is a very important study that is designed to assess blood flow in the umbilical and uterine arteries, middle cerebral artery and fetal aorta. Dopplerometry has a high diagnostic value, as it can detect any circulatory disorders. Carrying out Doppler measurements makes it possible to detect placental insufficiency, intrauterine hypoxia and take all necessary measures to eliminate these phenomena.

How many times can you have an ultrasound during pregnancy?

During the entire pregnancy, planned screening tests are carried out three times, but most often there are more of them. Additional ultrasound examinations are ordered for medical reasons, as prescribed by the supervising physician. Ultrasound scanning allows you to notice even the slightest unfavorable signs in the condition of the expectant mother and baby.

Is it harmful to have an ultrasound during pregnancy?

Ultrasound is absolutely safe for both the woman and the fetus. The method itself is based on high-frequency ultrasonic vibrations, which do not provide any safety.

Are there any contraindications to ultrasound during pregnancy?

Contraindications to ultrasound during pregnancy are only very severe conditions of the woman, in which emergency delivery is necessary. If the patient has any signs of such a condition, she will learn about it from the doctor managing the pregnancy.

When can an ultrasound determine the sex of a child?

Despite the fact that the genital organs are finally formed in the fetus by the 15th week of pregnancy, the most favorable time for determining the sex of the child is 20-24 weeks of pregnancy.

Preparation before ultrasound?

To undergo an ultrasound, you do not need any preparation. The study takes place in a comfortable environment for the expectant mother without any pain or discomfort.

How to prepare for an ultrasound?

Most ultrasounds require no preparation. The exceptions are ultrasound of the abdominal organs and ultrasound of the pelvic organs. Preparation for abdominal ultrasound requires examination on an empty stomach. The minimum break in eating should be 4-6 hours before the examination. The day before the examination, exclude gas-forming foods - legumes, cabbage, black bread, carbonated drinks. You can take Espumisan the night before and on the day of the test.

A pelvic ultrasound will require bladder preparation. To do this, we recommend going to the toilet an hour and a half before the examination, then drinking 3 glasses of water and not urinating again until the diagnosis.

It is better for women to undergo an ultrasound examination of the pelvis on days 5-7 and 20-24 of the menstrual cycle, if women are still having a cycle. If the doctor has not given other recommendations on the day of the cycle. The study is not carried out during menstruation.

Ultrasound of the mammary glands is best performed on days 4-14 of the cycle.

Indications and contraindications for ultrasound examinations

Ultrasound is one of the most common methods for diagnosing gynecological pathologies, diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, and genitourinary systems. In addition, the technology is actively used when scanning the condition of joints, to monitor the course of pregnancy, and if the development of tumors in the mammary glands is suspected.

The following symptoms may indicate the need for an ultrasound scan:

  • The appearance of pain;
  • The presence of an inflammatory process in the body;
  • Pathological neoplasms;
  • Injuries;
  • Genetic pathologies;
  • Significant deviations from the norm in urine and blood tests.

In addition, there are medical indications that are a direct basis for prescribing an ultrasound examination. These include:

  • For early diagnosis of pathologies, preventive screening of the structure and functioning of various organs is used.
  • In cases where it is necessary to confirm or refute a preliminary diagnosis, patients are also recommended to undergo an ultrasound examination.
  • In order to monitor the effectiveness of the treatment and rehabilitation of the patient.
  • Internal surgical procedures (for example, puncture biopsy) are performed under the control of ultrasound diagnostic equipment.
  • At various stages of pregnancy, ultrasound allows you to monitor the growth and development of the fetus.

An important advantage of ultrasound examination is the absence of contraindications. The method is absolutely safe for patients of any age; it is prescribed to pregnant women and even newborn babies.

However, there are certain limitations that are not related to the risk to the patient, but to the accuracy and information content of the diagnosis:

  • It is not recommended to apply the device sensor to inflamed, scarred or otherwise damaged skin. Such defects can distort the results of the study.
  • Transrectal and transvaginal ultrasound is not performed after some gynecological operations, as well as after surgical treatment of pathologies of the last section of the intestine.
  • An ultrasound scan of the abdominal organs should not be performed if the patient suffers from flatulence or less than 6 hours have passed since the last meal.
  • For women, diagnosis of hormone-dependent organs is carried out on certain days of the cycle (selected by the doctor depending on the indications).

How is the examination carried out?

At the appointed time, the patient comes to our clinic in Kaliningrad. Depending on the type of test, the doctor will ask the visitor to remove any clothing that may interfere with the procedure. After this, the patient lies down on a couch covered with a disposable sterile diaper. In this case, the diagnostician may ask you to take the position that will provide optimal access to the organ being examined.

The average duration of the procedure is 20-30 minutes. It is absolutely painless. It is carried out using a special sensor, tightly, but without excessive force, pressed against the skin.

For some types of gynecological diagnostics, a transvaginal sensor, which is a small tube, can be used. Before use, the device is placed in a special disposable latex case, ensuring maximum sterility and safety. A similar device is provided for diagnostics performed through the rectum.

The skin at the site of contact with the sensor is lubricated with a hypoallergenic gel, which facilitates the sliding of the device and enhances the transmission of sound waves.
