I have one every few years.



None of my business, of course, why any particular woman’s doctor would do ultrasounds ever … But to be clear: Pelvic ultrasound is not routine. Not annually, not every few years. It’s medically indicated when there is a REASON. Pain, infertility, incontinence, menstrual irregularity, suspected abnormality of some sort or another, follow up on past issues, etc. I would want to know the specific reason my gynecologist felt one was necessary. Doctors, nurses, ultrasound techs: Please correct me if I’m wrong.
