Ultrasound diagnostics

Ultrasonography (USG) has been a fundamental diagnostic tool in gynecology and obstetrics since the beginning of my medical career in 1994. Besides many anecdotes I can share with my patients regarding this examination, it is undeniably the foundation of modern 21st-century gynecology. Early in my career, I often heard older doctors and patients express how painful manual (palpation) gynecological exams used to be, sometimes even leaving bruises on the lower abdomen. To detect changes in the uterus or ovaries—especially in overweight women—doctors had to apply significant force.

Thankfully, those days are behind us. Today, a professional gynecological exam should not be painful—this is extremely important for both me and the women I diagnose.

During a short and painless ultrasound exam, I can detect various abnormalities in the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, bladder, and sometimes even the intestines. This quick and non-invasive diagnostic approach helps speed up accurate diagnosis and, in some cases, enables prompt and effective treatment.

Another important area of my work is the diagnosis and treatment of breast diseases. The latest-generation ultrasound machines I use can detect lesions as small as just a few millimeters!

It is important that young women—not only those over 30 or 40—remember to get breast exams. I have diagnosed breast cancer in patients as young as 20.

As a father myself, I deeply understand the importance of having a HEALTHY child. Ultimately, what matters to all of us is not just having a child, but… having a HEALTHY child.

Today’s medical advances make this more possible than ever. Modern prenatal testing allows us to detect not all, but a great many fetal defects. What’s crucial—some of them can be treated during pregnancy. Thorough diagnosis of the unborn child also helps future parents prepare to provide the best possible care. I cooperate with top specialists in prenatal diagnostics—both doctors from fetal pathology centers and commercial providers of detailed human genetic testing. These tests are non-invasive, safe for the fetus, and completely risk-free for the expectant mother.
