A girl ultrasound typically shows the presence of three distinct lines: the labia majora, the labia minora, and the clitoris. These structures are visible in the fetal pelvis, often in the second or third trimester of pregnancy.
The labia majora are the outer folds of skin surrounding the vaginal opening. They appear as two distinct, parallel lines on the ultrasound.
The labia minora are the inner folds of skin located within the labia majora. They appear as smaller, thinner lines, often located closer to the clitoris.
The clitoris is a small, rounded structure located at the top of the labia minora. It appears as a small, bright spot on the ultrasound.
It's important to note that:
- Ultrasound images can vary depending on the fetal position, the skill of the sonographer, and the quality of the equipment.
- Not all ultrasound images will show all three structures clearly.
- Gender determination through ultrasound is not always accurate, especially in the early stages of pregnancy.
Example:
Imagine a picture of a flower. The labia majora are like the outer petals, the labia minora are like the inner petals, and the clitoris is like the center of the flower.
