Question
how accurate is the vaginal ultrasound? is it ever off? and if so how far off??????
Dear Nina
Vaginal ultrasound is accurate in diagnosing Obstetrical and gynecological problems. In pregnancy, falacies occur in the range of more or less of 2 weeks depending on the type of the machine, its resolution and experience of the sonographer.

Experience
Currently I am working as a Professor of Obstetrics gynecology, Menofyia University, Egypt. Since 1987, I worked in many university and private hospitals with a high load of pregnant population averaging 7-9,000 deliveries/year. This exposed me to all problems associated with pregnancy, labor and delivery. I had my doctorate degree in Obstetrics and Gynecology in 1996 in the use of Doppler ultrasound in high risk pregnancies.
