Details about Abdomen & Pelvic
What is an Abdomen & Pelvic Ultrasound?
An Abdomen & Pelvic Ultrasound is a diagnostic imaging examination that uses sound waves to create real-time images of the abdominal and pelvic organs.
The abdominal component assesses organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, spleen and bladder, while the pelvic component evaluates pelvic organs and surrounding soft tissues. The scan provides valuable information about organ size, structure, and the presence of abnormalities such as cysts, stones, fluid, or inflammation.
The examination is painless, does not involve radiation, and is suitable for a wide range of patients.

Follow these guidelines for accurate results
Sample Timing
Where possible, attend your blood test between 7am and 12pm. Please wait until any short-term illness or infection has fully resolved before testing. Avoid intense exercise for 24–48 hours beforehand, as this can affect certain markers.
Fasting & Hydration
Fasting is not always required, but some tests may recommend it. If fasting is advised, avoid food for 8–12 hours before your appointment and drink water only. Stay well hydrated, as this helps with sample collection and accuracy.
Medications & Supplements
Continue prescribed medications unless advised otherwise by your clinician. Avoid vitamin, mineral, or biotin supplements for at least 24–48 hours before your test, as these can interfere with results. If you are unsure about any medication or supplement, please let us know before your appointment.
Hormones & Menstrual Cycle
For hormone-related tests, timing within your menstrual cycle may be important. If relevant, follow any specific guidance provided on your test page.
If you have any questions or special circumstances, our team is happy to advise before your appointment.
