Your Well Woman Pelvic Scan
The Well Woman Pelvic Scan is designed to give you an overall idea of your reproductive health by identifying any anomalies. This scan is performed by one of our qualified sonographers with diagnostic scanning experience. The Well Woman Pelvic Scan can help with the detection or exclusion of:
- fibroids
- ovarian cysts
- polycystic ovaries
- pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)
A Pelvic Scan is best performed transvaginally for optimum clarity and results. This means that the sonographer will ask for your consent to insert an ultrasound probe into your vagina. If you choose not to have a transvaginal scan, we may be able to complete the scan transabdominally (by placing an ultrasound probe on the skin of your pelvic area) - but results may not be as accurate.
This Pelvic Scan, available to those over 18 years old, is performed by one of our qualified sonographers with diagnostic scanning experience.
If you are already under the care of a healthcare provider, do not book this scan. You should discuss any need for a scan with your healthcare provider.
You will receive a clear written report of your scan results
Preparing for your scan
- drink one litre of clear fluid about one hour before your Pelvic Scan
- do not urinate before your appointment
- we need to access your abdomen, so please wear an outfit made up of 2 pieces (eg trousers and a top or a skirt and a top)
