A pelvic ultrasound is a quick, safe way to look at your womb, ovaries, and surrounding structures.

FAQs
Why might I need a pelvic ultrasound?
A pelvic ultrasound checks your womb, ovaries, and surrounding areas. It’s often used to find the cause of symptoms like pelvic pain, heavy periods, or bloating. Some people have the scan for reassurance, to check for fibroids, cysts, or other more concerning changes.
What symptoms are linked to pelvic problems?
● Pelvic pain
● Bloating
● Heavy or irregular periods
● Bleeding between periods or after menopause
● Pain during sex
● Difficulty getting pregnant
● Frequent or painful urination
When should I see a doctor for pelvic symptoms?
See a doctor if you notice ongoing pelvic pain, changes in your period, or other unusual symptoms.
If anything doesn’t feel right or worries you, it’s worth getting checked.
Do I need to prepare for a pelvic ultrasound?
Yes. For a transabdominal scan, we ask you to come with a full bladder. Drink about one litre of water an hour before your scan and avoid using the toilet. If a transvaginal scan is needed, you’ll be asked to empty your bladder first.
What happens during the scan?
You’ll lie down and a gel will be placed on your lower abdomen. A small handheld probe is moved over the skin to take images. If a closer look is needed, a transvaginal scan may be done with a slim, covered probe gently placed into the vagina. The scan is usually painless and takes about 15 minutes.
Are there any risks of a pelvic ultrasound?
Ultrasound is very safe. It uses sound waves, not radiation. There are no known risks. Most people feel no discomfort and can return to normal activities straight away.
