MyObgyne offers in-office ultrasound services in San Tan Valley, AZ. Exams are performed by trained technicians and interpreted by your provider so you can receive timely results and clear next steps.

What Is an Ultrasound?

An ultrasound, also called a sonogram, uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of structures inside the body. Ultrasound does not use radiation and is safe for pregnant and non-pregnant patients.

Ultrasound is commonly used to:

• Confirm and date a pregnancy
• Monitor fetal development and well-being
• Evaluate pelvic pain, bleeding, or irregular periods
• Check for ovarian cysts, fibroids, or uterine abnormalities
• Guide certain procedures such as IUD placement or biopsies

Types of Ultrasound We Offer

Transabdominal Ultrasound

A transabdominal ultrasound is performed over the abdomen and is often used during pregnancy or for general pelvic imaging.

Transvaginal Ultrasound

A transvaginal ultrasound uses a thin probe that is gently inserted into the vagina to provide a closer view of the uterus and ovaries. It is commonly used in early pregnancy or when detailed imaging is needed.

Obstetric Ultrasound

Obstetric ultrasound is used throughout pregnancy to evaluate fetal growth, anatomy, position, and amniotic fluid levels. Common scans include early dating ultrasounds, anatomy scans around 20 weeks, and biophysical profiles when clinically indicated.

Gynecologic Ultrasound

Gynecologic ultrasound evaluates the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and endometrial lining. It can help diagnose conditions such as fibroids, ovarian cysts, and endometriosis, and can support evaluation of pelvic pain or abnormal bleeding.

When Is an Ultrasound Recommended?

Ultrasound may be recommended at many stages of care. Common reasons include:

• Confirming early pregnancy and viability
• Tracking fetal growth and development during pregnancy
• Investigating pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding, or irregular periods
• Monitoring known conditions such as fibroids or PCOS
• Evaluating fertility concerns or ovulation timing
• Assessing postmenopausal symptoms

Your provider will recommend the appropriate type of ultrasound based on your symptoms, medical history, and stage of care.

What to Expect During Your Ultrasound

Ultrasounds are typically performed in a private exam room. Depending on the type of ultrasound:

• You may be asked to arrive with a full bladder for certain pelvic or early pregnancy scans
• A gel is applied to the skin or probe to improve image quality
• The exam usually takes about 15 to 30 minutes
• There is no downtime and you can return to normal activities right away

Your provider will review your results, answer your questions, and discuss any next steps if follow-up care is needed.
