Pelvic Pain?

Assess Ovaries, Uterus, Endometrium

Ultrasound is an excellent test for assessing the female pelvic organs.

Common causes for needing a scan are for pelvic pain, infertility, concerns about ovarian cysts or lumps, uterus, fibroids, endometrium, and vaginal bleeding.

External and Internal scans are performed by leading experts.

Your Scan Includes

• Ultrasound with the Female Senior Specialist Sonographer
• Explanation of your scan results
• Written Report
• High-Resolution Digital Scan Images
• Any onward referral if needed

What does the scan involve?

The operator will use water-based jelly and a probe to visualize the pelvic organs. It is used for the ultrasound scan for ovaries.

External (Transabdominal)

The scan will first start as an external scan over the bladder which acts as a window to see the pelvic organs. You can go for a full gynecological ultrasound scan from our clinic.

Internal (Transvaginal)

If the external scan is not adequate, you will be offered the option of proceeding for an internal scan to better visualise the pelvic organs. 

Chaperone

There will also be a qualified chaperone present in the scan room along with the doctor. 

How do I prepare?

You will need a full bladder for the ultrasound. Try to drink 1 to 2 pints of water 30 minutes before your appointment time. If we need to do an internal ultrasound, we will ask you to empty your bladder in the toilets provided. Also, if you want private ovarian ultrasound, then you can get it done from our clinic in Penarth Cardiff .
