Questions

Women's ultrasound directory 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?

Review the service information, contact the clinic if you are unsure, or request an appointment in Ipswich.
