Private pelvic Ultrasound

Why would you need a pelvic ultrasound?

The pelvic ultrasound scan may be performed in the investigation of a number of problems involving the myometrium, endometrium, ovaries and fallopian tubes if visible, including:

  • gynaecological symptoms such as pelvic pain, irregular, frequent or absent periods or other menstrual problems
  • to investigate the existence of endometrial polyps, fibroids or ovarian cysts
  • as a follow-up scan to monitor known conditions such as fibroids, ovarian cysts or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
  • to assess for any abnormality that might be causing infertility
  • Ovarian screening for cancer or any other abnormality
  • Check for ovulation
  • Signs of adenomyosis
  • Identify any reasons for infertility
  • Just to check if everything is OK - peace of mind

 

How is the pelvic ultrasounds done?

This scan can be performed through the abdomen (transabdominal) or internally through the vagina (transvaginal). Both approaches are being used to image the uterus and the ovaries for any abnormality. They both give useful information that can be combined for the best diagnostic outcome. Sometimes the transabdominal scan image quality is so good that transvaginal scan will not offer any additional benefits in the diagnosis

 

What preparation is required for a pelvis ultrasound?

This pelvic ultrasound scan is being performed trans-abdominally and on occasions, a transvaginal ultrasound scan or internal scan might be required in order to further evaluate the pelvic organs.

For the transabdominal scan:

You will need a full bladder, so please drink 2 pints of water one hour before your scan.

For a transvaginal ultrasound:

  • You should empty your bladder just before your scan
  • You can have a trans-vaginal scan when you’re having your period, but you will need to remove the tampon if you’re using one
  • You will need to remove the lower half of your clothing before the scan, so wear something that is easy to take off

 

What can the pelvic ultrasound scan detect?

The pelvic ultrasound scan uses sound wanes to examine and evaluate your gynaecological organs for any abnormality, such as:

Ovarian cysts

Ovarian Tumours

Polycystic ovaries

Fibroids

Polyps 

Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID)

Endometriosis

Detect and locate an IUCD or coil if you have one implanted

Assess the effect of HRT 

Adenomyosis

 

What should I expect during the examination?

Upon your arrival at the clinic, our sonographer will explain the ultrasound scan procedure and will ask you to lie on your back on the couch. You will be asked to lower a bit your trousers/skirt and your underwear to be able to access your pelvic area. A small amount of ultrasonic gel will be placed on your skin. The transducer will be moved back and forth across your lower abdomen to image the area of interest. 
If there is a need to have a transvaginal scan, you will be asked to empty your bladder and remove your trousers/skirt and your underwear. 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 to different directions to obtain the best images. 

What happens after the scan?

At the end of the examination, we will discuss the findings with you and we will provide you with an ultrasound report for your medical records.
