Abstract:
Transabdominal sonography (TAS) and Transvaginal sonography (TVS) were compared for follicular monitoring in 73 patients of infertility. These patients were referred for follicular monitoring in normal and stimulated cycles from infertility clinic. Patient compliance and acceptance was excellent for TVS technique as compared to TAS technique. The overall resolution of ovarian and follicular anatomy was much better in TVS. With TAS only 35.6% had good visualisation of follicles as compared to 80.8% (p<0.05) in TVS. TVS offered advantage of much better detection rate of smaller follicles (<10mm) and higher accuracy in assessing number of follicles.

Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...
