Gynaecological Scans
A gynaecological scan involves ultrasound assessment of the uterus, ovaries and the parts of the pelvis which are nearby.
A filled bladder is optimal for this type of gynaecological scan, which you will be informed about at the time of booking. Your doctor will usually request a pelvic scan if they are concerned about your current health or are showing signs of certain health conditions such as abnormal bleeding or fibroids.
Ultrasound uses high frequency pulsed sound waves to produce images of the organs in the pelvis. Scanning will be performed both via the stomach, and with your consent via a transvaginal examination.
