Abdominal ultrasounds are ordered when patients experience ongoing pelvic pain or menstrual issues. They help visualize structures such as the uterus, cervix, ovaries, and fallopian tubes. Pelvic ultrasounds are beneficial for both men and women, as they can identify conditions like kidney stones, tumors, urinary tract issues, and reproductive system abnormalities in women. Transvaginal ultrasounds are sometimes used to assess uterine anomalies, polyps, fibroids, and cancer.
