Follicular tracking means that you are monitoring the number and size of your follicles during your cycle. Follicular tracking is an ultrasound transvaginal scan being used to evaluate the number and size of the ovarian follicles. Follicular tracking can be used to monitor your fertility and confirm the best time to conceive.
Follicular tracking is also being used to track the number and size of the ovarian follicles during IVF treatment.
The cost of this ultrasound scan is only £164.
The follicular tracking scan is the same as the transvaginal ultrasound scan, which means that a thin ultrasound probe is inserted in the vagina, so the sonographer can have a clear view of your uterus, the lining of the uterus and your ovaries. The procedure for this can is the same as the pelvic ultrasound scan.
You will be asked to lie on your back on the couch and a towel will be provided to cover yourself. A special lubricated probe will be inserted into the vagina and will be moved in different directions to obtain the best images. This scan might feel a bit uncomfortable, but should not be painful.
Follicular tracking should not be painful. It can, however sometimes be slightly uncomfortable depending on the angle of the ultrasound probe.
You should be able to resume your normal activities immediately after the scan.
A follicle is a small fluid-filled sac inside the ovaries containing immature eggs. The size and number of the follicles is an indication of your fertility and vary between women.
For ovulation to occur, the follicle needs to reach approximately 18-24 mm.
As the name suggests, the follicular tracking tracks the size and the number of your ovaries throughout your cycle, so it requires 1 to 3 scans commenting from day 7 – 9 of the first day of your period.
If you are having IVF treatment, your fertility specialist will advise you about the timings of your ultrasound scans.

The bones of the hand and wrist provide the body with support and flexibility to manipulate objects in many different ways. Each hand contains 27 distinct bones that give the hand an incredible range and precision of movement. The forearm's ulna and radius support the many muscles that manipulate the bones of the hand and wrist.
Although the anatomy of the hand and wrist are complex and the pathologic conditions encountered are diverse, many of the disease processes are localized, and in many situations, the clinical question is specific and limited. Because of this, ultrasound has always been an attractive imaging modality for evaluation of hand and wrist problems.
Specific situations in which ultrasound offers definite benefits include evaluation of tendon inflammation and rupture, evaluation of palpable masses or suspected occult masses, and evaluation of suspected foreign bodies.
Hand and wrist injuries are also common in athletes and can affect articular structures (ligaments, joint surfaces etc), peri-articular tendons, muscles and nerves. These injuries can be acute or chronic. Acute injuries follow sudden traumatic events such as falls or joint sprains. Chronic lesions can be the result of local repetitive microtrauma or the sequelae of an acute injury.
