Transvaginal ultrasound scan for PCOS.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I read your query and I understand your concerns.

Following is my reply:

1) Ultrasound is same as sonography.

2) You need to get vaginal ultrasound scan done.

3) If you have had sex ( intercourse) you are no longer a virgin.

4) Vaginal ultrasound scan is best for PCOS.

Brief Answer:
Technician will not know about your virginity

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Technician will not know about your virginity. You better tell technician about your virginity status so that transvaginal scan is performed.

In virgin women, abdominal scan is preferred. Hence tell them before scan.

Ultrasound will not detect virginity on its own.
