Gynaecological Ultrasound

A Gynaecological Ultrasound is an ultrasound assessment of the female pelvis, focused mainly on the uterus and the ovaries, although other structures may be seen.

A Gynaecological Ultrasound can be performed for many different indications, such as:

  • Period or pelvic pain

  • Bleeding between periods

  • Heavy periods

  • Irregular periods

  • Absence of periods

  • Difficulty conceiving

  • Possible fibroids

  • Suspected ovarian cyst

  • Suspected pelvic mass felt on clinical examination

  • Postmenopausal bleeding

  • Screening for ovarian cancer

Vaginal Ultrasound

Vaginal ultrasound provides much clearer views and more detail of the pelvic structures. A narrow, gel covered probe is gently introduced into the vagina. Most patients experience no pain or only very mild discomfort. The examination takes approximately 10-20 minutes.

Abdominal Ultrasound 

In young girls, women who have not been sexually active or women who don't feel comfortable having a vaginal ultrasound, a transabdominal ultrasound, or an ultrasound through the abdominal wall can be performed. A very full bladder is needed.
