GYN Ultrasound
In addition to offering complete diagnostic and 4-D obstetric
ultrasound, The Women’s Health Group also has full gynecologic
ultrasound services available for the convenience of our patients.
Most insurance plans will allow you to have your gynecologic
ultrasound performed in our office by the registered sonographers
employed by TWHG. This allows our patients a more private and
familiar setting while allowing our physicians direct and timely
viewing of your ultrasound images. Most gynecologic ultrasounds
are performed with a transvaginal probe. Occasionally transabdominal
imaging is done as well. All gynecologic ultrasounds performed in our
office are then read by your own physician. This allows a direct
correlation of your physical examination with your imaging and
thus provides our patients with the optimal quality of care.

SONOHYSTEROGRAM
The sonohysterogram (SHG) will allow your doctor to evaluate the
uterus for the causes of abnormal bleeding, recurrent miscarriage,
infertility, and other gynecologic problems. The SHG is often used
as a pre-operative assessment for hysteroscopy and
endometrial ablation.

Preparation
It is important that the patient is not pregnant or suffering an
active infection during the saline injection. The doctor may
require the patient o be tested for pregnancy and/or infection
prior to the exam. Due to cramping caused by the SHG, the
doctor may suggest a full dose of over-the-counter anti-
inflammatory be taken just prior to the procedure.
