Pelvic Scan
APPOINTMENT
£140
This scan is available for people over 16 years of age.
A pelvic scan is a dedicated scan designed to look at your womb and ovaries and we can also assess the lining of your women. This type of scan can aid in the detection of fibroids, polycystic ovaries, ovarian cysts, endometrial polyps and sign of pelvic inflammatory disease.
An ultrasound of your womb and ovaries maybe of use for you if:
- Concerned about fertility
- Suffer with lower abdominal pain/discomfort
- Irregular or heavy menstrual bleeding
- You suspect you may have gallstones
- Pain in your upper abdomen
- Concerns about liver disease
- Reassurance
For the optimal assessment of the womb and ovaries the Sonographer will ask consent to perform a transvaginal Ultrasound after a transabdominal scan (scanning over the top of the pelvis) is completed. This provides a more detailed assessment and more likely to pick up any discrete medical problems. If you feel that a transvaginal scan is not something you would like to have the Sonographer can make an assessment scanning transabdominally however result may not be as accurate.
