Transvaginal ultrasoundFrom our partner site on breast cancer, MyBreastCancerNetwork.com. Endovaginal ultrasound What the risks are: There is no documented biologic effect on patients and their fetuses with the use of current ultrasound techniques. No ionizing radiation is involved.

The vaginal probe can also assist in obtaining biopsies of abnormal areas or in draining fluid.
