Overview of the Pelvic Ultrasound

The Pelvic Ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging examination used to assess organs and structures within the female pelvis, particularly the uterus, ovaries and surrounding pelvic region.

Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves rather than ionising radiation.

A transabdominal pelvic scan is performed through the lower abdomen and normally requires a full bladder.

The bladder acts as an acoustic window that helps the sonographer visualise the pelvic organs more clearly.

Depending on the clinical question, a transvaginal ultrasound may sometimes provide more detailed views of the uterus, endometrium and ovaries.

If an internal scan is considered appropriate, the imaging professional will explain whether it is required or included and obtain consent before proceeding.

Pelvic ultrasound is commonly used to investigate pelvic pain, heavy or irregular bleeding, suspected fibroids, ovarian cysts and other gynaecological concerns.

It can also form part of fertility or reproductive assessment.

The scan can identify structural abnormalities but cannot determine the cause of every pelvic symptom.

This Pelvic Ultrasound is performed in clinic only.

What Does the Pelvic Ultrasound Assess?

Uterus

Uterine size and shape

Assesses the dimensions, position and general structure of the uterus.

Myometrium

Evaluates the muscular wall of the uterus for visible abnormalities such as fibroids.

Endometrium

Measures and assesses the appearance of the uterine lining where clinically appropriate.

Ovaries

Ovarian size and structure

Assesses each visible ovary and its internal appearance.

Ovarian cysts

Can identify and characterise many cystic ovarian findings.

Ovarian follicles

Follicular structures may be visible depending on cycle stage and scan type.

Pelvic Region

Pelvic fluid

Identifies abnormal or physiological free fluid where visible.

Selected pelvic masses

Ultrasound can identify some structural masses requiring further assessment.

Bladder

The bladder is visualised during the transabdominal examination and can provide additional structural information.

Who May Benefit From the Pelvic Ultrasound?

Women with persistent pelvic pain - Ultrasound can assess common structural gynaecological causes.

Women with heavy menstrual bleeding - Fibroids and other uterine abnormalities can be investigated.

Women with irregular bleeding - Imaging can provide information about the uterus and endometrium.

Women with suspected ovarian cysts - Ultrasound is commonly used to identify and monitor ovarian cysts.

Women with suspected fibroids - The scan can assess their number, size and position.

Women undergoing selected fertility investigations - Uterine and ovarian structure can be assessed.

Women with a previous abnormal pelvic scan - Repeat ultrasound can monitor known findings.

Women with a pelvic mass or fullness identified clinically - Imaging can help characterise the abnormality.

Symptoms and Reasons to Consider the Pelvic Ultrasound

Pelvic or lower abdominal pain - Structural gynaecological abnormalities can sometimes cause persistent discomfort.

Heavy periods - Fibroids, adenomyosis-related changes and other conditions may warrant imaging.

Bleeding between periods - Pelvic ultrasound can form part of the investigation.

Postmenopausal bleeding - Urgent clinical assessment is required and ultrasound can be part of that pathway.

Painful periods - Imaging can assess several structural causes, although not every cause is visible.

Pelvic pressure or bloating with a structural concern - Ovarian or uterine abnormalities can sometimes contribute.

Known ovarian cyst or fibroid requiring follow-up - Ultrasound can document change over time.

Severe sudden pelvic pain, heavy bleeding with fainting or weakness, or pelvic pain during possible pregnancy requires urgent medical assessment.

Postmenopausal bleeding should always be clinically investigated rather than assumed to be a benign hormonal change.

How to Prepare for the Pelvic Ultrasound

Fasting

Fasting is not normally required.

Hydration

Drink approximately 500 ml–1 litre of non-fizzy fluid before the appointment according to your booking instructions.

Full bladder

Arrive with a comfortably full bladder and avoid urinating before the initial transabdominal scan.

Medication

Continue prescribed medication unless advised otherwise.

Clothing

Wear comfortable clothing that provides easy access to the lower abdomen.

Menstruation

Pelvic ultrasound can generally be performed during menstruation, although the clinical question may affect ideal timing.

Pregnancy

Tell the imaging team if you are pregnant or could be pregnant so the examination can be tailored appropriately.

Previous imaging

Bring previous pelvic ultrasound, MRI or gynaecology reports where available.

A full bladder is important for the transabdominal part of the examination.

If a transvaginal scan is required, you will normally be asked to empty your bladder before the internal examination.

This service is performed in clinic only.

What Happens During the Pelvic Ultrasound?

Arrival

Attend the clinic with the requested bladder preparation completed.

Clinical history

The sonographer reviews your symptoms, menstrual history and relevant previous imaging.

Positioning

You lie on an examination couch with the lower abdomen accessible.

Transabdominal imaging

Gel is applied to the lower abdomen and the pelvic organs are assessed through the full bladder.

Additional imaging

If a transvaginal scan is clinically appropriate, this is explained separately and requires your consent.

Measurements

The uterus, ovaries and relevant findings are documented.

Completion

You can empty your bladder and normally resume daily activities immediately.

Is the Pelvic Ultrasound Safe?

Pelvic ultrasound uses sound waves and does not use ionising radiation.

A transabdominal scan is non-invasive.

A transvaginal scan, where clinically appropriate and consented to, uses a covered ultrasound probe placed gently into the vagina to obtain higher-resolution pelvic images.

You remain in control of the examination and can ask for an internal scan to stop at any time.

When Will I Receive My Results?

The current turnaround for the Pelvic Ultrasound is approximately 1 day after the scan.

The sonographer may discuss general observations during the appointment, but the authorised written report provides the formal findings.

Abnormal findings may require GP, gynaecology or additional imaging follow-up.

Understanding Your Pelvic Ultrasound Results

A normal scan may describe the uterus and ovaries as having no significant visible structural abnormalities.

The report can include uterine dimensions, endometrial thickness and ovarian measurements where relevant.

Abnormal findings may include fibroids, ovarian cysts, endometrial abnormalities, pelvic fluid or other structural changes.

Many ovarian cysts are benign and can vary with the menstrual cycle.

An ultrasound finding alone does not always establish a final diagnosis.

Clinical history, blood tests, repeat ultrasound, MRI or specialist gynaecological assessment may be required.

What Can the Pelvic Ultrasound Detect?

Uterine fibroids - Ultrasound can identify and measure many fibroids.

Ovarian cysts - Cysts can be identified and their ultrasound appearance described.

Endometrial thickening - The uterine lining can be measured where appropriate.

Selected ovarian abnormalities - Changes in ovarian size or structure may be visible.

Pelvic fluid - Free fluid can be detected and interpreted in context.

Selected pelvic masses - Ultrasound can identify some masses requiring further investigation.

Limitations of the Pelvic Ultrasound

Not every cause of pelvic pain is visible - Endometriosis and other conditions may require specialist assessment or MRI.

Transabdominal imaging provides less detail than transvaginal imaging for some structures - An internal scan may be advised.

Bowel gas can obscure anatomy - Image quality can occasionally be reduced.

An ovarian mass cannot always be fully characterised by ultrasound alone - Further imaging or specialist investigation may be needed.

A scan does not replace clinical assessment - Symptoms and examination remain important.
