Abstract:
Ultrasound has the advantage of being less invasive low cost, easy to perform , provide high resolution images , information previously not available without hazard. Since then, diagnostic ultrasound not only has gained wide clinical acceptance because of its easy use and patient comfort,
but has also profoundly influenced the general practice of medicine and especially obstetrics and gynecologists. Almost three decades since the first major effort were made to assess the risk of ultrasound energy. Since then, there have been numerous safety related reviews published. Ultrasound has became the method of choice for detection and evaluation of establishment of intrauterine pregnancy, ectopic pregnancy. Evaluation of complicated early pregnancy such as retrochorionic hemorrhage, incomplete abortion, gestational trophoblastic disease in which we get a characteristic sonographic appearance of hydropic villi, early pregnancy failure with resorption or complete abortion. The use of ultrasound and judicious patient assessment can minimize the need for operative intervention and subsequent reproductive complication in same patient experiencing postpartum haemorrhage. Ultrasound may be helpful to demonstrate the cause of abnormal vaginal bleeding due to abnormalities of endometrium like polyps, adenomyosis and acquired abnormaities of the uterine corpus like myoma. Second and third trimester bleeding (abruption placenta and placenta praevia).By ultrasound can be detected placenta percreta so the use of diagnostic ultrasound is increasing worldwide with the event of new technology. Ultrasound is becoming one of the diagnostic medical guidelines.
