A gynaecological ultrasound (also called a pelvic ultrasound) is an imaging examination that uses sound waves to create real-time pictures of the pelvic organs, such as the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes. It is a non-invasive procedure used to diagnose a variety of conditions, including pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding, ovarian cysts, and infertility. The scan is performed using one or both methods: an abdominal ultrasound<\/a><\/span> (using a transducer on the abdomen) and\/or a transvaginal ultrasound<\/a><\/span> (using a transducer inserted into the vagina).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

What the scan involves<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
  • Preparation<\/strong>: For an abdominal ultrasound, you may be asked to drink water to fill your bladder, which helps to provide a clearer view of the organs.<\/li>
  • Procedure<\/strong>: A gel is applied to the skin of the lower abdomen, and a transducer (a handheld device) is moved over the area.<\/li>
  • Transvaginal approach<\/strong>: In some cases, a transvaginal ultrasound will also be performed. A smaller transducer is inserted into the vagina to get a more detailed view of the uterus and ovaries.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Why it's performed<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
    • To investigate symptoms like pelvic or abdominal pain, abnormal or heavy bleeding, and bloating.<\/li>
    • To assess fertility issues. The scan can check the size, shape, and position of the uterus and evaluate the lining (endometrium) for abnormalities.<\/li>
    • To evaluate conditions like ovarian cysts or fibroids (benign tumors in the uterine muscle) and polyps (growths in the uterine lining).<\/li>
    • To follow up on abnormalities felt during a physical exam.\u00a0<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
