Hello......its not that painful... Moreover you haven't mentioned why transvaginal ultrasound is recommended.... MRI is not an alternative for ultrasound... She can go for abdominal ultrasound but TVS gives more clarity and minor abdnomalitirs can be detected in TVS......

Is your sister infertile or pregnant? Why is she needing TVS again . TVS is any day better than TAS. It provides a very clear picture of uterus and ovaries. MRI is not an alternative for ultrasound and it's too costly.
