 Posted: 03/09/08 - 09:57 Post subject: Why would a transvaginal ultrasound be painful? |
  |
|
| Yesterday, I went for a transvaginal ultrasound in order to find out why I am having pain (a week) before and during my periods. The radiologist was very gentle but quit the procedure within minutes of starting because it was painful to me. I have had this procedure done years ago and it was not painful (a little uncomfortable). I am still have some minor twinges of pain today in the area of my ovaries, like ovulation. I am a bit unnerved that there is nothing on the internet that explains why this procedure might be painful. Also, will there be another procedure my Dr. will recommend that will help him diagnose my problem? What about an MRI? |

|

| I don't see any answers on this and I'm not finding much by searching under this topic. I went to have a transvaginal ultrasound this morning and it was the worst pain I can remember having... probably since labor pains from having my son 13 years ago. I asked the tech if it was normal to be so painful and she said definitely not... but she also said she didn't see anything wrong from the pictures she was taking. She told me that she wasn't supposed to give me info like that, but she was feeling really sorry for me because I was in so much pain and crying. She suggested that I may have an abscess and that wouldn't picked up during the ultrasound, but again reminded me that she is not a doctor and is not supposed to be sharing that kind of info. My doctor that sent me to have the ultrasound seems pretty certain the abdominal pain I've been having is from a "pulled ligament", but I find that hard to believe since today's test was so extremely painful everytime she touched me in a certain spot with the wand. Anyone have any similar experience?? |
