Ultrasound is a safe and painless imaging tool that plays an essential role in both obstetric and gynecologic care. Whether confirming a pregnancy, checking fetal growth, or evaluating pelvic symptoms, ultrasound provides clear, real-time images that guide diagnosis and treatment. At MyOBGYN in Las Vegas, we offer in-office ultrasound services performed by skilled technicians for fast, accurate results and coordinated care.

What Is an Ultrasound?

An ultrasound, also called a sonogram, uses high-frequency sound waves to produce detailed images of internal structures. It is commonly used to:

  • Confirm and date a pregnancy
  • Monitor fetal development and movement
  • Evaluate pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding, or irregular cycles
  • Detect ovarian cysts, fibroids, or uterine abnormalities
  • Guide procedures such as IUD placement or biopsy

Ultrasound is completely safe and does not use radiation, making it suitable for both pregnant and non-pregnant patients.

Types of Ultrasound We Offer

1. Transabdominal Ultrasound

Performed over the abdomen using a handheld device, this scan is often used during pregnancy or to examine pelvic organs.

2. Transvaginal Ultrasound

A slender probe is gently inserted into the vagina for a closer, more detailed view of the uterus and ovaries. It is frequently used in early pregnancy or to assess specific pelvic concerns.

3. Obstetric Ultrasound

Used throughout pregnancy to monitor fetal growth, anatomy, position, and amniotic fluid. This includes:

  • Early dating scans
  • Anatomy scans around 20 weeks
  • Biophysical profiles in later pregnancy

4. Gynecologic Ultrasound

Evaluates the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and endometrium to help diagnose conditions such as fibroids, ovarian cysts, or endometriosis.

When Is an Ultrasound Recommended?

Your provider may recommend an ultrasound for a variety of reasons, including:

  • Confirming pregnancy and assessing viability
  • Tracking fetal growth and movement
  • Investigating pelvic pain or abnormal bleeding
  • Monitoring fibroids, cysts, or PCOS
  • Evaluating fertility or ovulation
  • Assessing postmenopausal changes

Ultrasound imaging provides valuable information that supports accurate diagnosis and timely care.

What to Expect During Your Ultrasound

Ultrasound exams are performed in a private, comfortable setting and usually take 15 to 30 minutes. Depending on the type of scan:

  • You may be asked to arrive with a full bladder for pelvic imaging
  • A warm gel is applied to the skin or probe to enhance image clarity
  • The procedure is painless and requires no recovery time

After your ultrasound, your provider will review the results with you and discuss any next steps or treatment options.
