A Sonography is helpful in infertility patient examination( Uterus, Ovaries, Adnexal structures). Early in the pregnancy, ultrasounds help confirm the fetal heartbeat and the state and progress of your pregnancy. Further in the pregnancy, ultrasounds help check the umbilical cord, location of the placenta, and overall fetal health and growth. Towards the end of your pregnancy, a Sonography helps determine if the baby is in the proper position in the womb, identifying any uterine or pelvic abnormalities in the mother, checking the length of the cervix in case of any doubts of pre-term labor.
During an ultrasound, the sonographer spreads a cold water-based gel over your stomach and pelvis. He then moves a handheld probe or transducer over the area which transmits high-frequency sound waves through the stomach to your uterus.
