Ultrasound and Endometriosis: What to Expect

Introduction:

Welcome to Atlanta Ultrasound! Today, we're diving into a crucial topic for many women—endometriosis and how ultrasound imaging plays a key role in managing this condition. Our goal is to keep you informed, supported, and at ease throughout your healthcare journey.

Understanding Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a common health condition where tissue similar to the lining inside the uterus is found outside of it, often causing pain and sometimes infertility. It can affect women of any age during their reproductive years.

The Role of Ultrasound

Ultrasound is a non-invasive tool that helps doctors visualize the internal organs. For endometriosis, ultrasound, especially the transvaginal kind, becomes a critical first step in diagnosing and managing the disease.

What to Expect During Your Ultrasound

1. Before the Ultrasound

• Preparation: Generally, there is little preparation needed for a pelvic ultrasound. Depending on the type of ultrasound, you might be advised to have a full bladder.

• Scheduling: At Atlanta Ultrasound, we strive to schedule your appointment at a time that causes minimal disruption to your day. Our friendly staff is here to work with your availability.

2. During the Ultrasound

• Comfort and Care: Our technologists are experts in ensuring your comfort. The process is painless, and you'll be guided through each step.

• Duration: A typical ultrasound session lasts about 20-30 minutes. During this time, our technologist will use a small probe to view the area in question and capture images.

  

3. After the Ultrasound

• Immediate Results: One of the advantages of ultrasound imaging is the immediacy of some results. Our radiologists will review the images, and preliminary findings can often be discussed right after your examination.

• Follow-Up: Depending on the findings, you may need further tests or a follow-up appointment. Our team will coordinate these with you and ensure you understand all the next steps.
