Overview of the Female Ultrasound
The Female Ultrasound is a clinic-based diagnostic ultrasound designed to assess female reproductive and relevant pelvic structures, including the uterus and ovaries.
Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to produce real-time images without ionising radiation.
The examination can provide structural information about the uterus, endometrium, ovaries and surrounding pelvic anatomy.
It may be used to investigate pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding, menstrual changes, ovarian cysts, fibroids and other gynaecological concerns.
The scan can also complement hormone, fertility or menopause blood testing because imaging and laboratory tests answer different questions.
Blood tests provide biochemical information.
Ultrasound provides anatomical information.
Depending on the clinical question, pelvic imaging may involve a transabdominal examination and, where appropriate and consented to, a transvaginal approach for more detailed assessment.
This Female Ultrasound is performed as a clinic visit only.
What Does the Female Ultrasound Assess?
Uterine size and shape
Assesses the position, dimensions and general structure of the uterus.
Myometrium
Evaluates the muscular uterine wall for structural abnormalities such as fibroids.
Endometrium
Assesses the thickness and appearance of the uterine lining where clinically appropriate.
Ovarian size and morphology
Examines the visible structure of each ovary.
Ovarian cysts
Identifies and characterises many fluid-filled ovarian findings.
Follicular appearance
Ovarian follicles can be visualised according to cycle stage.
Adnexal region
Assesses the areas surrounding the ovaries for selected abnormalities.
Pelvic fluid
Detects free fluid where present.
Bladder
The bladder can be visualised during transabdominal pelvic imaging.
Who May Benefit From the Female Ultrasound?
Women with persistent pelvic pain - Ultrasound can investigate common structural causes.
Women with heavy or irregular periods - Uterine abnormalities can contribute to altered bleeding.
Women with suspected ovarian cysts - Ultrasound is commonly used to identify and follow cysts.
Women with suspected fibroids - The scan can identify and measure many fibroids.
Women undergoing fertility assessment - Ovarian and uterine structure can provide useful information.
Women experiencing postmenopausal bleeding as part of an appropriate clinical pathway - Endometrial assessment can be relevant.
Women with a previous abnormal pelvic scan - Repeat imaging can monitor known findings.
Women with an unexplained pelvic mass or pressure sensation - Ultrasound can provide structural assessment.
Symptoms and Reasons to Consider the Female Ultrasound
Pelvic or lower abdominal pain - Structural gynaecological conditions are one possible cause.
Heavy menstrual bleeding - Fibroids and other uterine abnormalities may contribute.
Bleeding between periods - Ultrasound can form part of the investigation.
Irregular menstrual cycles with structural concerns - Imaging can assess ovarian and uterine morphology.
Persistent bloating or pelvic pressure - Ovarian or uterine abnormalities can sometimes contribute.
Painful periods - Imaging can assess some causes, although not every cause of dysmenorrhoea is visible.
Known ovarian cyst or fibroid - Follow-up ultrasound can document changes over time.
Postmenopausal bleeding - Ultrasound may be used within the required urgent clinical assessment.
Severe sudden pelvic pain, heavy bleeding with dizziness or fainting, or pain during a possible pregnancy requires urgent medical assessment.
Postmenopausal bleeding should always be medically investigated.
How to Prepare for the Female Ultrasound
Preparation can vary according to the precise scope of the examination.
This Female Ultrasound is performed in clinic only.
What Happens During the Female Ultrasound?
Is the Female Ultrasound Safe?
Diagnostic ultrasound uses sound waves rather than ionising radiation.
A transabdominal examination is non-invasive.
Where a transvaginal examination is appropriate, a specially designed covered ultrasound probe is used to obtain more detailed pelvic images.
An internal scan should only proceed with informed consent and can be stopped at any time at the patient's request.

When Will I Receive My Results?
The current scan reporting turnaround is approximately 1 day after your appointment.
General findings may be explained during or shortly after the examination.
The written report provides the formal imaging findings and can be shared with your GP, gynaecologist or other specialist.
Understanding Your Female Ultrasound Results
A normal report can describe a uterus and ovaries without significant visible structural abnormalities.
An abnormal scan may identify fibroids, ovarian cysts, endometrial changes, pelvic fluid or another structural finding.
Many findings are benign.
For example, simple ovarian cysts can occur as part of normal ovarian function.
Ultrasound cannot diagnose every gynaecological disorder.
Endometriosis, small endometrial lesions and other conditions may require specialist ultrasound, MRI, hysteroscopy or additional assessment.
What Can the Female Ultrasound Detect?
Uterine fibroids - Many fibroids can be identified, measured and located.
Ovarian cysts - Fluid-filled and more complex ovarian lesions can be described.
Endometrial changes - The uterine lining can be measured and assessed.
Ovarian enlargement or altered morphology - Structural ovarian changes may be visible.
Pelvic fluid - Free fluid can be detected.
Selected pelvic masses - Ultrasound can identify abnormalities that require further characterisation.
Limitations of the Female Ultrasound
Ultrasound cannot exclude every gynaecological condition - Some disorders can be present despite a normal scan.
Endometriosis can be missed - A normal routine scan does not exclude endometriosis.
Some uterine-cavity abnormalities need other investigations - Hysteroscopy or saline sonography can occasionally be more appropriate.
A suspicious mass cannot be definitively diagnosed as cancer by ultrasound alone - Further imaging or tissue diagnosis may be required.
Image quality can be affected by bowel gas or anatomy - An internal approach can sometimes improve visualisation.
