Transvaginal ultrasounds are used most often during early pregnancy, when the uterus and fallopian tubes are closer to the vagina, but may also be used later in pregnancy to assess the cervix length or placental location. 

A transvaginal ultrasound examination involves placing a small ultrasound probe into the vagina to obtain clear images. Transvaginal ultrasound is not a painful procedure and will be completed with an empty bladder.  The transvaginal probe is covered with a disposable non latex sheath throughout the exam and proper care is taken for disinfecting the probe.
