What Does a Pelvic Ultrasound Examine?

Your sonographer will perform a systematic assessment of the pelvic organs and surrounding structures.

Uterus

The uterus is assessed for its position, shape, myometrial appearance and visible abnormalities such as fibroids or features associated with adenomyosis.

Endometrium

The endometrial lining is assessed in relation to menstrual status, symptoms and relevant clinical history.

Ovaries

Both ovaries are assessed for their appearance, size, follicular pattern and abnormalities such as cysts or endometriomas.

Adnexal Regions

The areas surrounding the ovaries and uterus are assessed for visible masses, fluid or other abnormalities.

Pelvic Cavity

The pelvis is assessed for free fluid and other visible abnormalities within the limitations of ultrasound.

Adenomyosis & Endometriosis

The examination looks for recognised sonographic features associated with adenomyosis, ovarian endometriomas and, where appropriate, certain features of deep endometriosis. A normal ultrasound does not exclude endometriosis.

Why Patients Choose Us

Private diagnostics, run with NHS‑grade governance

We built MedHealth around the two things private ultrasound is usually missing: speed and rigour. Every clinic operates under CQC regulation, every sonographer is HCPC‑registered, and every report follows the same clinical standards as an NHS imaging department.

What to Expect

Before your scan, your sonographer will discuss your symptoms, relevant gynaecological history and the reason for your examination.

Your pelvic ultrasound may include a transabdominal scan, transvaginal scan, or both, depending on what is clinically appropriate. A transvaginal ultrasound provides more detailed views of the uterus, endometrium and ovaries and will only be performed after the procedure has been explained and with your consent. You remain in control throughout and can ask to stop at any time.

Where appropriate, your sonographer will explain the findings before you leave. Your detailed digital report is provided the same day.

Preparing for Your Pelvic Ultrasound

For the transabdominal scan, you will need a comfortably full bladder. Please follow the bladder preparation instructions provided with your appointment.

If a transvaginal scan is required, you will normally be asked to empty your bladder beforehand. Please continue your usual prescribed medication unless advised otherwise.

What Happens if Something Is Found?

Many pelvic ultrasound findings, such as simple ovarian cysts and fibroids, are common and benign.

Any findings will be documented clearly in your report and, where appropriate, explained to you. Recommendations are based on the ultrasound appearance together with factors such as your symptoms, age, menstrual status and clinical history.

You may be advised to share your report with your GP or gynaecologist, have follow-up imaging or undergo further investigation where appropriate.

Limitations of Pelvic Ultrasound

Ultrasound provides detailed assessment of the uterus, endometrium and ovaries, but it cannot identify every cause of pelvic or gynaecological symptoms.

Some conditions, including certain forms of endometriosis, may not be visible on routine ultrasound. A normal scan therefore does not exclude every gynaecological condition.

If symptoms persist, worsen or remain unexplained despite reassuring ultrasound findings, further medical or specialist gynaecological assessment may be appropriate.
