A pelvic ultrasound looks at the bladder, ovaries, uterus, cervix, and fallopian tubes.
A transvaginal ultrasound is a test that looks at the same organs as listed above. What makes this test noticeably different from a pelvic ultrasound is a transducer, which is a special probe, is inserted into the vagina. With a pelvic ultrasound, the doppler stays outside of the body and the technician scans it across the lower abdomen.
Problems with constipation are issues related to the intestinal tract and not the stomach.
Images from the ultrasound are transferred to a CD. There are no films because this test is not an x-ray. Ultrasound is an imaging method that uses high frequency sound waves.
So, to recap, a pelvic and transvaginal ultrasound will not help diagnose why you are constipated and the ultrasound report cannot be put on a film.
