What Is an Ultrasound?

Ultrasound is a safe and effective imaging technology used to monitor pregnancy and diagnose gynecological conditions.


It works by using sound waves that travel through your skin and bounce back to create detailed images of your internal organs and your developing baby.


At Obstetricians & Gynecologists, PC, ultrasound is:



  • Completely non-invasive
  • Painless
  • Safe for both mother and baby


Ultrasound plays a vital role in both prenatal care and women’s health diagnostics.

When Is Gynecologic Ultrasound Needed?

Your OB/GYN may recommend an ultrasound to evaluate symptoms or monitor conditions affecting your reproductive or urinary system.


Common Reasons for Gynecologic Ultrasound

Examining ovarian cysts or fibroids

Evaluating infertility

Locating an intrauterine device (IUD)

Monitoring infertility treatments

Detecting ectopic pregnancy

Assessing pelvic floor disorders & pelvic pain

In some cases, a transvaginal ultrasound may be recommended. This involves a small wand-shaped device inserted into the vagina to provide more detailed images.

How Is Ultrasound Used During Pregnancy?

Ultrasound is an important part of routine prenatal care, allowing your provider to monitor your baby’s growth and development.


Ultrasound Can Help Detect:

  • Number of babies
  • Baby’s sex
  • Growth, size, and weight
  • Fetal position
  • Placenta location
  • Amniotic fluid levels
  • Possible abnormalities


You typically receive an ultrasound early in pregnancy to confirm your due date and identify multiple pregnancies. A second, more detailed ultrasound is usually performed around 20 weeks.


At this stage, the certified ultrasound technician performs a comprehensive 3D/4D ultrasound, which can help identify congenital conditions and provide detailed images of your baby.
