Gas pelvigraphy
Gas pelvigraphy is a method for diagnosing diseases of the pelvic organs in women, which is used in gynecology and urology. It is based on x-ray examination of internal organs using gas.
During the examination, the patient is in a supine position with her knees bent. A special gas is injected into the pelvic area, which improves the visibility of internal organs. A series of x-rays are then taken to determine the presence of pathologies and their extent.
The main advantages of gas pelvigraphy are its safety and high diagnostic accuracy. This method allows you to identify various diseases of the pelvic organs, such as ovarian cysts, tumors, endometriosis and others. In addition, gas pelvigraphy can be used to monitor the effectiveness of treatment and determine the stage of the disease.
However, like any other diagnostic method, gas pelvigraphy has its drawbacks. For example, it may be contraindicated if you have an allergy to gas or other contraindications. There is also a risk of injury if the procedure is performed incorrectly.
Thus, gas pelvigraphy is an important method for diagnosing diseases of the pelvic organs. It allows you to get accurate results and determine the extent of the disease, which allows you to prescribe the correct treatment. However, like any other method, it has its contraindications and risks, so you should consult your doctor before performing the procedure.
