USG - Cervical Length
USG - CERVICAL LENGTH is an obstetric ultrasound examination performed to evaluate the cervix during pregnancy. The scan measures the length and condition of the cervix, which plays an important role in maintaining pregnancy until delivery.
A shortened cervix may increase the risk of preterm labor, premature birth, or cervical insufficiency. The examination helps doctors identify women at risk and allows early intervention or closer pregnancy monitoring when required.
The scan is most commonly performed through a transvaginal ultrasound approach because it provides more accurate and detailed cervical measurements. It may also be performed transabdominally in some situations.
This examination is commonly recommended in high-risk pregnancies, women with previous preterm delivery, cervical surgery history, twin or multiple pregnancies, or symptoms such as pelvic pressure, abdominal cramps, or early contractions.
The procedure is safe, painless, radiation-free, and provides important information for pregnancy management.
