Transvaginal refers to a medical procedure or approach that is performed through the vagina. It is commonly used in imaging and diagnostic techniques, such as transvaginal ultrasound, where a specialized probe is inserted into the vaginal canal to obtain detailed images of the uterus, ovaries, and other pelvic structures. This method provides clearer and closer views compared to abdominal imaging, making it especially useful in gynecology for evaluating pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding, or early pregnancy. Transvaginal procedures are generally safe, minimally invasive, and well-tolerated by most patients.
