Can a transvaginal ultrasound detect cervical polyps?

Transvaginal ultrasound can detect cervical polyps. Transvaginal ultrasound, also known as transvaginal B-mode ultrasonography, is a commonly used method in gynecological ultrasound examinations. It employs a high-frequency probe inserted directly into the vagina, closely positioned against the cervix and posterior fornix, allowing clear visualization of the uterine interior, including the cervical canal glands and stroma. Transvaginal ultrasound can measure the size of polyps and determine whether they protrude beyond the external cervical os, offering high diagnostic accuracy for cervical polyps. Additionally, it helps clarify the nature of the polyps, providing valuable information for subsequent treatment decisions.
