A woman who has not had vaginal sex can choose whether she wants a transvaginal or transvaginal ultrasound. If a woman with an intact hymen prefers, her doctor can perform or arrange for a trans-abdominal ultrasound scan for the patient rather than a transvaginal ultrasound, so as to avoid breaking of the hymen. However, a transabdominal ultrasound may have some limitations compared to the transvaginal approach, especially for clear visualisation of pelvic pathologies."

What should I do if after 6 months of treatment for bacterial vaginosis I still have grayish vaginal discharge?
For most women, bacterial vaginosis is a common bacterial vaginal infection that usually clears after a week of antibiotic treatment. If the infection is still recurrent after 6 months, this could indicate that your natural vaginal pH is too alkaline and you may want to restore this back to the natural mildly acidic environment which then makes you less susceptible to bacterial vaginal infections. This is because, in the natural mildly acidic environment, bacterial and fungal organisms are unable to grow.
How do I get an ultrasound scan for a lump in Singapore?
Thank you for asking this question that will benefit a lot of readers. I can imagine that you would be worried about a lump over your chest. An ultrasound is usually ordered by the GP or specialists to tell us more information about a lump. For me, I am a family physician, usually we will write a letter that will allow you to be scanned in a neighborhood location. Usually costs about a hundred. There are some GP clinics that have an ultrasound machine. But I'm not very sure of these clinics locations at the moment. Usually the doctor has to agree that a scan is required.
