Obstetric Ultraound Indications-First Trimester • Bleeding • Pain • Previous ectopic • Hyperemesis • Previous molar pregnancy • Bad obstetric history

Indications Third Trimester: • Growth Scans with UA/MCA dopplers • Presentation • Post Dates-AFI
Indications Growth Scans Pregnancy related: • Multiple pregnancy-DCDA from 28weeks onwards • Multiple pregnancy-MCDA from 24 weeks onwards • PET • Reduced SFH • Known IUGR • APH-Placenta praevia, abruption • Recurrent APH of unknown cause • GDM Pre existing: • Obstetric History: SB, Previous IUGR, Previous abruption • Smoking/substance abuse • Pre existing medical conditions-Thrombophilias, APLS, SLE, autoimmune conditions, renal disease, hypertension, severe asthma, thyroid disorders • BMI>35
Indications Post partum/post miscarriage Abnormal bleeding/Secondary PPH • RPOCs • Endometritis • Molar pregnancy • Placental site trophoblastic tumours • AV malformations
Gynaecological Ultrasound Indications: Menorrhagia+/-dysmenorrhoea Oligomenorrhoea/Amenorrhoea Pelvic pain Pelvic mass Subfertility Post menopausal bleeding Misplaced Mirena/IUCD
Menorrhagia • Fibroids • Endometrial polyps • DUB Menorrhagia with Dysmenorrhoea • Adenomyosis/endometriosis • PID
Oligomenorrhoea/Amenorrhoea Primary • Uterine agenesis- RMK syndrome • Imperforate hymen • Mullerian abnormalities- Vaginal septum +/- other uterine abnormalities • Gonadal dysgenesis(Turner’s): Streak ovaries • GnRHa deficiency: Kallmann’s Syndrome
Oligomenorrhoea/Amenorrhoea Secondary Hypothalamic/hypopituitary • Anorexia/Bulimia • Stress • Pituitary tumours • Sheehan’s syndrome • Thyroid dysfunction Ovarian: • PCOS • POF Uterine: Asherman’s Syndrome
Pelvic pain • Adenomyosis/endometriosis-Ovarian endometriomas • PID • Ovarian cyst accidents-Haemorrhage/rupture/torsion Simple cysts do not cause pelvic pain!
Pelvic Mass • Fibroid • Ovarian cysts • Pre menopausal-simple/complex • Post menopausal-simple/complex
Subfertility Ovaries: • Ovarian reserve-AFC, AMH • PCOS • Endometrioma • Peri ovarian adhesions/fixity • Ovarian blood flow • Access Adnexal: • Hydrosalpinx-PID • Peri tubal/intra peritoneal adhesions Uterine: 3D scan • Submucous fibroid/endometrial polyps • Adenomysosis-EMZ disruption, POD fixity Unexplained
Decline in Ovarian Reserve – using AFC and AMH Antral Follicle Count Anti Mullerian Hormone
PMB • Atrophic endometrium • Endometrial Hyperplasia/Polyps • Endometrial CA • Ovarian cysts • Clinical examination –CST.
