What a pelvic ultrasound assesses

Pelvic ultrasound creates images of the uterus, womb lining, ovaries and nearby structures. Findings must be interpreted alongside symptoms and medical history.

Abdominal and transvaginal scan options

An abdominal pelvic scan is performed through the lower abdomen, usually with a full bladder. A transvaginal scan provides closer views and is only undertaken after explanation and consent.

Preparing for your appointment

Follow the specific bladder instructions provided by the clinic, wear comfortable clothing and bring relevant previous reports where possible.

Results and next steps

The clinic should explain when the written report is available and whether GP, gynaecology or further imaging review is recommended.

Questions

Women's health ultrasound FAQs

Is this a pregnancy scan?

No. This is a non-obstetric service. Dr Skin Central Diagnostics does not offer pregnancy dating, viability, antenatal or fetal scans on this service.

Do I need a GP referral?

You can request an appointment directly. The clinic will confirm whether any individual circumstance requires supporting information or referral.

Will the scan be uncomfortable?

This varies with the examination. An abdominal scan may involve pressure on a full bladder, while a transvaginal scan may cause temporary pressure or mild discomfort. The procedure is explained beforehand and you can ask to pause or stop.

What happens if something is found?

The clinician will explain the result pathway and any appropriate next step, which may include review by your GP, further imaging or specialist assessment.

Can ultrasound diagnose the cause of every symptom?

No. Ultrasound can provide useful information about pelvic structures, but it has limitations and may form only one part of a wider clinical assessment.

Wondering whether a women's health ultrasound is right for you?
