Glossary Ultrasound

medical imaging using high-frequency sound waves for internal body structures

Ultrasound, also known as ultrasonography or sonography, is a medical imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of structures within the body. It is commonly used to monitor fetal development during pregnancy, diagnose conditions in organs such as the liver, heart, and kidneys, and guide procedures like needle biopsies. The sound waves are emitted by a transducer, which also captures the echoes that bounce back, creating real-time visual representations on a monitor.

community Testicular ultrasound is it necessary to do?

4 months ago

A 25-year-old male experienced increased testosterone and estradiol levels after starting finasteride for hair loss, leading his doctor to suggest a testicular ultrasound as a precaution. The user questions the necessity of the ultrasound, considering it potentially excessive, while others suggest it could be a useful precaution to rule out any issues.

community Anyone had success with typical Trichologist treatments? Electro Stimulation, Ultrasound, Oxygen Infusion, etc..

in Technology 3 upvotes 5 months ago

Finasteride and minoxidil are recommended for hair loss, with skepticism about additional treatments like electro stimulation and oxygen infusion, which are seen as ineffective and costly. Pulsed ultrasound may enhance drug delivery, but most other treatments are considered ineffective.
