Re: Transvaginal Ultrasound From: jwang, M.D. (anonymous@obgyn.net) Mon, 19 Mar 2001 19:14:23 -0600 (CST) Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: jwang, M.D.: "Re: Secondary Amenorrhea & Infertility" Previous message: jwang, M.D.: "Re: Please respond! How harmful is Vicodin or Darvocet in early pregnancy?" In reply to: Lynn: "Transvaginal Ultrasound" The probe is about the diameter of a medium carrot. It should not be painful. This is more accurate because the US waves do not have to penetrate skin, muscle and fat to see the organs.
