Details about Female Ultrasound
What is a Female Ultrasound?
A Female Ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging examination that uses sound waves to create real-time images of the female pelvic organs, including the uterus, ovaries, endometrium and surrounding structures.
It is commonly performed as a pelvic ultrasound, which may be carried out transabdominally or transvaginally, depending on the clinical indication. Ultrasound does not use radiation and is considered safe, painless and widely used in gynaecological assessment.
Female ultrasound plays an important role in diagnosing, monitoring and investigating a wide range of gynaecological, hormonal and reproductive conditions.
When a Female Ultrasound is recommended
A Female Ultrasound may be recommended when symptoms or findings suggest a pelvic or reproductive health concern.
You may be referred for this scan if you:

- Have irregular, heavy or painful periods
- Have abnormal vaginal bleeding
- Are being investigated for ovarian cysts
- Have suspected fibroids or uterine abnormalities
- Are experiencing fertility or reproductive concerns
- Need monitoring of known gynaecological conditions
- Require follow-up after previous imaging or treatment

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.
