The difference between colposcopy and vaginal ultrasound
The difference between colposcopy and vaginal ultrasound:
The high-quality light source and high-magnification clear images of digital colposcopy can help doctors identify extremely small lesions, and then analyze the images they observe to provide support for diagnosing diseases. This technology is different from traditional colposcopy, it has no eyepiece, breaking through the limitations of traditional colposcopy.
Vaginal b-ultrasound does not need to be performed in the abdomen. It avoids abdominal fat and directly penetrates two centimeters into the vagina under the b-ultrasound probe to form an image inspection, which can more intuitively understand the situation of the uterine appendages. The inspection process does not require There is no pain in urinating. However, unmarried women, vaginal bleeding, middle and late pregnancy and bleeding during pregnancy, and large pelvic masses should not use vaginal b-ultrasound.
Which is better, colposcopy or vaginal ultrasound?
The difference between colposcopy and B-ultrasound is that colposcopy can only see the vagina, while B-ultrasound can see accessories, uterus, and vagina, so B-ultrasound is more comprehensive than colposcopy, but B-ultrasound is an indirect imaging, while vaginal The mirror is very intuitive to observe, so if you see gynecological diseases, you still need to do B-ultrasound, but if you only check the vagina, then it is relatively better to do colposcopy.
At present, colposcopy is mainly used for the diagnosis of cervical diseases. It can magnify the observed image by 10 to 60 times and find tiny lesions that cannot be detected by the naked eye. With this magnifying effect, doctors can clearly see the blood vessels on the epidermis of the cervix, discover the early lesions of cervical cancer, provide a basis for the early diagnosis of cervical cancer, enable patients to receive effective treatment in advance, and improve the cure rate of cervical cancer. Greatly improve. The clinical application of vaginal ultrasound is relatively wide, mainly including: follicle monitoring, early pregnancy diagnosis, early ectopic pregnancy, uterine fibroids, uterine lesions, trophoblastic tumors, pelvic masses, inflammation, pelvic entrance plane (internal callopubic diameter and entrance transverse diameter) Menstruation), fetal head deformity, placenta previa, etc.
