Pelvic Ultrasound Scans
Pelvic ultrasound scans are commonly recommended for women experiencing pelvic pain, irregular bleeding, heavy periods, bloating, fertility concerns or menopausal symptoms. They are also frequently used as part of routine gynaecological assessments and early pregnancy evaluations.
Vaginal Ultrasound
A vaginal (transvaginal) ultrasound uses a small probe inserted into the vagina to create detailed images of the uterus, ovaries and womb lining. It allows for closer assessment than an abdominal scan and helps investigate symptoms such as:
- Irregular, heavy or abnormal bleeding
- Pelvic pain or discomfort
- Suspected fibroids or ovarian cysts
- Thickened womb lining
- Endometriosis-related symptoms
- Fertility concerns
- Early pregnancy assessment
A pelvic ultrasound can help identify fibroids, ovarian cysts, polycystic ovaries, adenomyosis, endometriosis-related findings, uterine polyps, thickened womb lining and other pelvic abnormalities.
Yes, pelvic ultrasounds can usually be performed during your period, and in some cases this may even help assess certain conditions more accurately.
Pelvic ultrasounds are generally painless. A transvaginal scan may feel slightly uncomfortable for some patients, but it should not be painful.
Yes, pelvic ultrasound is a safe, non-invasive scan that does not use radiation and is widely used in gynaecology and pregnancy care.
An abdominal ultrasound provides detailed imaging of the major organs and blood vessels within the abdomen, helping to identify a wide range of conditions.
Liver – Assesses for fatty liver disease, cysts, tumours, enlargement, and other abnormalities.
Gallbladder – Detects gallstones, polyps, inflammation (cholecystitis), and other gallbladder conditions.
Pancreas – Evaluates for cysts, tumours, inflammation (pancreatitis), and structural abnormalities.
Kidneys – Identifies kidney stones, cysts, obstruction, enlargement, and other abnormalities.
Spleen – Assesses spleen size, structure, and potential abnormalities.
Bile Ducts – Checks for dilation, blockages, and conditions affecting bile flow.
Abdominal Aorta – Screens for aneurysms (abnormal widening of the artery) and other vascular abnormalities.
Your healthcare provider may recommend an abdominal ultrasound to investigate symptoms such as:
- Abdominal pain or discomfort
- Bloating or swelling
- Abnormal liver function tests
- Suspected gallstones
- Unexplained weight loss
- Kidney-related symptoms
- Monitoring known abdominal conditions
A sonographer-led scan is performed by a highly trained ultrasound specialist who carries out the scan and provides detailed imaging and reporting. This is often suitable for routine monitoring, reassurance scans or straightforward investigations.
A scan with a consultant gynaecologist combines the ultrasound examination with a specialist clinical consultation. Your consultant can interpret the scan findings in the context of your symptoms and medical history, discuss possible diagnoses immediately and advise on next steps or treatment options during the same appointment.
