  • Endometrial Issues: Assesses the lining of the uterus for abnormalities.
  • PCOS: Helps diagnose Polycystic Ovary Syndrome by detecting multiple small cysts.

• There are two methods for conducting the scan:

  • Transabdominal Ultrasound: A transducer is moved over the lower abdomen to capture images of the pelvic organs.
  • Transvaginal Ultrasound: A smaller probe is inserted into the vagina to get closer and clearer images of the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes, providing more detailed information.

This scan is recommended for:

• Women experiencing pelvic pain, menstrual irregularities, fibroids, or cysts
• Patients with suspected PCOS, endometriosis, or early menopause
• Women undergoing fertility investigations
• Irregular menstrual cycles, abnormal bleeding, or painful periods
• Pelvic pain, discomfort, or pressure
• Infertility concerns and fertility treatment monitoring
• Family history of ovarian or uterine conditions

There are two types of pelvic ultrasound scans:

Transabdominal Pelvic Scan (External)

• Requires a full bladder
• Drink 0.75 to 1 litre of water one hour before your appointment
• Do not urinate until after this part of the scan is complete

Transvaginal Pelvic Scan (Internal)

• Requires an empty bladder
• Provides clearer and more detailed images of the uterus and ovaries
• Performed only with your informed consent
• You may insert the probe yourself if preferred
• A female chaperone is available upon request

A pelvic ultrasound scan is a safe, non-invasive imaging test that provides detailed views of the uterus, ovaries, cervix, and pelvic organs. At our London clinic, we offer both transabdominal and transvaginal (TVS) ultrasound options, including specialized scans for heavy or irregular periods, PCOS, pelvic pain, postmenopausal bleeding, and early pregnancy assessment.

Whether you're experiencing lower abdominal pain, suspected ovarian cysts, or need to investigate bleeding between periods, our private gynaecological ultrasound services provide fast, accurate, and discreet answers. We also offer internal scans of the womb and ultrasound to check ovaries, helping diagnose fibroids, endometriosis, thickened endometrial lining, or pelvic inflammatory disease (PID).

When Is a Pelvic Ultrasound Recommended for Women?

Key Symptoms and Indications

A pelvic ultrasound scan is a safe, non-invasive imaging procedure used to evaluate the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, endometrium, and surrounding pelvic structures. It plays a crucial role in the diagnosis, monitoring, and management of various gynaecological conditions. At Phoenix Ultrasound, women can access a private pelvic ultrasound without needing a GP referral. This allows for early detection, reassurance, and faster healthcare decisions.

A pelvic ultrasound is particularly recommended for women experiencing the following symptoms or undergoing fertility evaluation:

Pelvic Pain or Lower Abdominal Discomfort

Persistent or unexplained pelvic pain may indicate conditions such as ovarian cysts, fibroids, endometriosis, or pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). Ultrasound helps identify the root cause of discomfort.

Irregular or Abnormal Menstrual Cycles

A scan is advised if you experience:

• Irregular bleeding (metrorrhagia)
• Heavy periods (menorrhagia)
• Missed periods (amenorrhea)
• Infrequent menstruation (oligomenorrhea)

A gynaecological ultrasound helps assess for structural abnormalities in the uterus or ovaries.

Suspected Ovarian Cysts or Uterine Fibroids

If cysts or fibroids are suspected, an ultrasound provides accurate visualisation. It helps determine the type, size, and location of the growths.

Fertility Issues or Ovulation Tracking

Pelvic ultrasound is an essential part of fertility investigations, helping evaluate the ovaries, endometrial lining, and uterine structure. Follicular tracking scans monitor ovulation and follicle development.

Bloating or Pelvic Pressure

Ongoing bloating or pressure in the pelvic area may be linked to large cysts or fibroids. A scan can help rule out underlying causes.

Post-Menopausal Bleeding

Bleeding after menopause should always be investigated. A pelvic ultrasound evaluates the endometrial thickness and identifies abnormalities.

Monitoring Known Gynaecological Conditions

Women with PCOS, fibroids, or endometriosis often require regular pelvic ultrasounds to monitor their condition.

Follow-Up After Abnormal Smear Test

If a recent cervical screening or gynaecological exam shows abnormalities, an ultrasound may be advised for further assessment.

Early Pregnancy Confirmation

Ultrasound confirms an intrauterine pregnancy, checks for fetal heartbeat, rules out ectopic pregnancy, and determines gestational age.

Intrauterine Device (IUD) Position Check

A pelvic scan verifies the correct placement of contraceptive devices like the coil (IUD/IUS).

What Can a Women's Pelvic Ultrasound Detect?

A women’s pelvic scan provides detailed information about the reproductive organs. It’s a vital tool in identifying a wide range of medical conditions.

Uterine Findings

• Fibroids (Leiomyomas) – Benign growths within or around the uterus
• Adenomyosis – Endometrial tissue growing into the uterine wall
• Endometrial Thickness – Assessed for irregularities, hyperplasia, or polyps
• Congenital Abnormalities – Including bicornuate uterus or septate uterus
• IUD Position – Ensures contraceptive devices are correctly placed

Ovarian Findings

• Ovarian Cysts – Including functional cysts, endometriomas, dermoid cysts, or complex cysts
• PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) – Identifies multiple small follicles and enlarged ovaries
• Ovulation Monitoring – Tracks the development and release of ovarian follicles
• Ovarian Tumours or Masses – Assesses solid or complex structures for further evaluation

Fallopian Tubes & Other Pelvic Structures

• Hydrosalpinx – Swollen, fluid-filled fallopian tubes due to infection or blockage
• Ectopic Pregnancy – Rare but critical diagnosis when pregnancy develops outside the uterus
• Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) – May show signs like fluid collections or thickened tubes
• Ascites or Free Fluid – Can indicate inflammation, infection, or malignancy

Bladder

• Bladder Wall Thickness – Assessed for abnormalities
• Bladder Volume and Masses – Detects any visible growths or irregularities
