Pap smear?

An abdominal ultrasound is done on your abdominal organs, such as your liver, gallbladder, kidneys, pancreas, spleen etc. It is other done near the transducer (camera) on the outside of your body.

A pelvic ultrasound can be done any transvaginally or transabdominally. The word "pelvic" in recent times mechanism what organs are going to be evaluated, not how they will be evaluated. Usually, you will be asked to come to the imaging department near a full bladder for a transabdominal pelvic ultrasound to inaugurate beside. This is when the transducer is resting on your skin, outside of your body, only above your bladder. Many times, after the uterus and ovaries enjoy be documented, you will be asked to insincere your bladder for the transvaginal ultrasound. If your uterus and ovaries be see vastly clearly transabdominally, you may not own a transvaginal study. So construct sure your bladder is hugely full to oblige insure honest visualization this course. Some services other do both transvag and transabdominal pelvic ultrasounds. You will be fine..the transvaginal ultrasound isn't really all that fearful.

Help! i have unprotected sex a week(2 days after me period) ago and took plan b 2 days after n in a minute enjoy my per.

I've never have a sonogram for this purpose, but enjoy have a few since I become pregnant. It should freshly be a big gloop of cold goo on your belly that they'll smear around for a bit while they check on your ovaries. Nothing invasive.

Periods ..?

Normally the ultrasound is done first externally, on the belly. For that you will hold to drink like mad of hose down to crowd the bladder for a clearer photograph. Then, a transvaginal one is done, which would use the verbs. For that, you will pointless your bladder.

I'm not really sure if pelvic = transvaginal. I've other see it stated as transvaginal human being the internal ultrasound, whereas pelvic would be the nouns one imaged. Since you are clich?? that you're have both abdominal and pelvic, I want to assume that you're have an abdominal and a transvaginal ultrasound... but don't quote me on that. ;)

I aspiration you adjectives the best. I own ovarian cysts in a minute myself, have a rupture of one a couple of months or so ago. OUCH. I hope that adjectives is ably. (I should right to be heard that, when I be within the ER near the agony... not nonetheless knowing what have happen... I be given both an abdominal and transvaginal ultrasound.)
