What do ROV and LOV stand for in transvaginal ultrasound?

Under normal circumstances, "ROV" in transvaginal ultrasound refers to the right ovary, and "LOV" refers to the left ovary. Transvaginal ultrasound of ROV and LOV is a medical examination method that involves using an ultrasound probe to internally examine and observe the vagina. The details are as follows:

Transvaginal ultrasound ROV represents the right ovary, with a normal physiological length of 2.88 cm and a normal physiological width of 1.38 cm. Transvaginal ultrasound LOV represents the left ovary, with a normal physiological length of 2.93 cm and a normal physiological width of 1.48 cm. Transvaginal ultrasound of ROV and LOV is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses the transmission and reflection of ultrasound waves to generate images of internal organs. It helps physicians evaluate the size, shape, structure, and function of female reproductive organs and detect any potential abnormalities.

In addition, ovarian size varies among women of different age groups. The ovaries gradually shrink around the age of 35–45, and by menopause, the size of the ovaries may reduce to approximately half of their original volume.

If a woman experiences any discomfort or symptoms, it is recommended to seek timely medical evaluation at a hospital to avoid delays in diagnosis and treatment.
