Intravaginal
Intravaginal refers to anything that occurs or is located within the vagina. This term is often used in the context of medical treatments or procedures that are performed or administered via the vagina, such as intravaginal ultrasound or intravaginal drug administration.
Intravaginal Ultrasound[edit | edit source]
An intravaginal ultrasound is a medical imaging procedure that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of the internal structures of the vagina. This procedure is often used to diagnose and monitor conditions such as ovarian cysts, uterine fibroids, and endometriosis. It can also be used to monitor the health and development of a pregnancy.
Intravaginal Drug Administration[edit | edit source]
Intravaginal drug administration is a method of delivering medication directly into the vagina. This method is often used for the treatment of conditions such as vaginal yeast infections, bacterial vaginosis, and vaginal atrophy. It can also be used for the administration of certain types of hormone therapy.
Intravaginal Devices[edit | edit source]
Intravaginal devices are tools or appliances that are inserted into the vagina for medical or therapeutic purposes. These can include pessaries, which are used to treat conditions such as pelvic organ prolapse and urinary incontinence, and vaginal rings, which are used for hormonal contraception.
