Abdominal, Pelvic, and Urinary Tract Ultrasound (women)

Abdominal, Pelvic and Urinary Ultrasound

An abdominal, pelvic, and urinary tract ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging technique used to examine the organs in the abdomen and pelvis, along with the urinary system. This scan helps diagnose various conditions affecting the digestive, reproductive, and urinary organs, offering a thorough assessment of a woman’s health.

What is an Abdominal, Pelvic, and Urinary Tract Ultrasound?

This ultrasound combines the evaluation of the abdominal cavity, pelvic region, and urinary tract, providing a comprehensive overview of key organs including:

• 🔹 Liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and spleen (abdominal organs)
• 🔹 Bladder, kidneys, ureters (urinary tract)
• 🔹 Uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes (reproductive organs)

The scan uses sound waves to create detailed images that help detect abnormalities such as cysts, tumours, fibroids, kidney stones, or infections.

Why is an Abdominal, Pelvic, and Urinary Tract Ultrasound Important?

This scan is vital for diagnosing a range of conditions in women, including:

• 🔹 Abdominal pain or swelling
• 🔹 Urinary tract infections (UTIs) or frequent urination issues
• 🔹 Kidney stones or other kidney problems
• 🔹 Pelvic pain or abnormal menstrual bleeding
• 🔹 Fibroids, ovarian cysts, or endometriosis
• 🔹 Gallstones or liver issues
• 🔹 Bladder and urinary issues

By providing clear images of multiple organ systems, this ultrasound helps pinpoint the cause of symptoms and guides the appropriate treatment plan.
