01 / UNDERSTANDING YOUR SCANYour pelvis.
Your pelvis.
Seen properly.
A pelvic ultrasound looks at the uterus, the lining of the womb, the ovaries and the bladder. Both a scan over the tummy and an internal scan are offered, so the view is as clear as it can be.
Endometrial lining
Measure the thickness and appearance of the womb lining.
Ovaries & cysts
Look at both ovaries for cysts, follicles and a polycystic appearance.
Bladder & surroundings
Assess the bladder and the structures around the uterus and ovaries.
IN DETAIL
Women’s Pelvic / Gynaecology Ultrasound Scan
A pelvic ultrasound for women is a non-invasive imaging test that provides detailed views of the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and surrounding pelvic structures. We offer both transabdominal and transvaginal (internal) ultrasound options to ensure the best possible clarity. This scan is commonly used to investigate pelvic pain, irregular or heavy periods, post-menopausal bleeding, and fertility problems, as well as other gynaecological issues. It helps detect conditions such as ovarian cysts, fibroids, polyps, and other abnormalities that may affect fertility or indicate early signs of gynaecological cancers. Whether you’re experiencing symptoms or seeking reassurance, our experienced sonographers provide a professional and comfortable environment with clear, detailed results you can rely on.

What is a Pelvic Ultrasound?
A pelvic ultrasound uses sound waves to create detailed images of the pelvic organs, particularly the uterus and ovaries. 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.
Why is a Pelvic Ultrasound Important?
- Uterine Fibroids: Detects non-cancerous growths that may cause heavy bleeding, pain, or fertility issues.
- Ovarian Cysts: Identifies fluid-filled sacs or solid masses on the ovaries.
- Endometrial Issues: Assesses the lining of the uterus for abnormalities.
- PCOS: Helps diagnose Polycystic Ovary Syndrome by detecting multiple small cysts.
- Fertility Assessments: Monitors ovarian follicles and uterine lining.
- Pelvic Pain: Investigates unexplained pelvic discomfort or pressure.

Feel more prepared.
From getting ready to discussing what comes next, here is a simple guide to your appointment.
A question before you book? Call usTell us what is happening
Pain, bleeding pattern, the date of your last period, any contraception, and any previous scans or surgery all help direct the scan.
Understand the scan
A scan over your tummy is done first, with a full bladder. An internal (transvaginal) scan usually gives a much clearer view; it is explained first and only performed with your consent. A chaperone is available. It is painless and takes about 20 minutes.
Talk about the next steps
The sonographer discusses the findings with you on the day. Your written report follows, ready to share with your GP or gynaecologist.

04 / A FEW THINGS YOU MAY BE WONDERINGYour questions.
Your questions.
Clear answers.
Need something more personal?
Speak to the team before booking.
Do I need a GP referral?
No. You can book directly. If your GP or specialist has asked for this scan, bring their letter so the sonographer knows what to focus on.
Will I need an internal scan?
Often, yes. A transvaginal scan sits much closer to the uterus and ovaries and gives a far clearer view, particularly of the lining and the ovaries. The sonographer explains why it is suggested and asks for your consent first.
Can I be scanned during my period?
Yes. It does not prevent the scan, and for some questions — such as measuring the lining — particular days of the cycle are actually more useful. If you would rather not, book for another day.
Does this scan diagnose endometriosis or PCOS?
It can show signs that point towards them — a polycystic appearance of the ovaries, or endometriomas — but a normal scan does not rule endometriosis out. The findings are read alongside your symptoms and blood tests.
What if I have severe pain or heavy bleeding now?
Sudden severe pelvic pain, heavy bleeding, fainting, or pain with a positive pregnancy test needs urgent advice from NHS 111, or call 999 in an emergency.
Why would I need a pelvic ultrasound scan?
This scan is commonly used to investigate:
-
- ✔ Pelvic or lower abdominal pain
- ✔ Heavy, irregular, or painful periods
- ✔ Postmenopausal bleeding
- ✔ Infertility or ovulation monitoring
- ✔ Ovarian cysts or fibroids
- ✔ Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
- ✔ Endometrial thickness
- ✔ Follow-up after gynaecological surgery or treatment
What types of pelvic scans do you offer?
We offer:
-
- ✔ Transabdominal Scan – performed over the lower abdomen (requires a full bladder)
- ✔ Transvaginal Scan – an internal scan offering more detailed views of the pelvic organs (optional and consent-based)
Your sonographer will explain both and proceed with your comfort and preferences in mind.
How do I prepare for the scan?
- ✔ For a transabdominal scan, please arrive with a full bladder (drink about 1–1.5 litres of water 1 hour before your appointment and do not urinate).
- ✔ For a transvaginal scan, empty your bladder before the scan.
- ✔ Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing for easy access to the abdominal area.
When will I receive my results?
You will receive your images, results and a detailed report on the same day, securely emailed to you.
Do I need a GP referral?
No referral is needed. You can book this scan privately and directly with us without involving your GP.

Preparation, made clear.
- Drink 1 litre of still water (2 pints) one hour before your appointment time.
- Please do not use the toilet — a full bladder lifts the bowel out of the way and gives a much clearer view.
- An internal scan needs an empty bladder, so you will be asked to use the toilet first if one is needed.
- Take your usual medication unless your doctor has told you otherwise.
- Bring any previous scans, reports or doctor’s letters so the sonographer can compare and focus on what matters.
Booking this alongside another scan? Each scan keeps its own preparation. If anything is unclear, call us on 020 3318 1373 before your visit.
If you feel unwell, seek medical advice. This page is general information, not a diagnosis. For urgent concerns, contact your GP or NHS 111; in an emergency call 999.
