[|Human|] My doctor referred me to have an ultrasound after I complained of ovarian/abdominal pain and bleeding. I had a trans-abdominal ultrasound, whicChatDoctore back negative. Im very petite and under 25, so was told that they may be able to get a pretty clear image with a trans-abdominal ultrasound. However, Im still a bit concerned. Is a transvaginal ultrasound the only way to detect early stage cancer, or smaller masses in the ovary? Can I be confident with my results from the trans-abdominal ultrasound?
[|AI|]  Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, Transvaginal ultrasound gives better image of the ovarian mass as compared to trans abdominal ultrasound. If the trans abdominal ultrasound is not showing up anything, a transvaginal ultrasound will give better images of the ovarian mass. There are other investigation also which will help to find out the pathology in the ovary. If the transvaginal ultrasound does not show up anything, other investigations like ovarian aspiration or biopsy may be used. Get the transvaginal ultrasound and wait for the results. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.
