Pelvic Pain Ultrasound Scan in Kingston Upon Thames

This scan will be able to help investigate and analyse your pelvic organs; during this transvaginal ultrasound, we can look at your urinary bladder, ovaries, uterus, and cervix.

This scan will use ultrasound to investigate and analyse the organs in the pelvis. It will look at your bladder, ovaries, uterus, cervix to diagnose the source of your pain.

What Are We Looking For?

If your doctor or consultant has recommended you a pelvic ultrasound, it can be for several reasons. You may have been recommended this test to look for the cause of pain or discomfort.

Our team at Ultrasound Plus see in the clinics, we use pelvic ultrasounds to look at the following;

• Cervix
• Ovaries
• Uterus
• Vagina
• Bladder

Whilst we look at these areas, we may need you to have a full bladder; this makes it easier for us to get a clear image that we can project onto the computer screen. Whether we are looking for reasons for heavy menstrual periods, to diagnose bladder tumours or pelvic masses, we are on hand to offer you ultrasound services that are second to none.

How Is A Pelvic Ultrasound Carried out?

If you need a pelvic ultrasound, it will be carried out using an ultrasound machine; high-frequency sound waves will be transferred through your body via a transabdominal ultrasound and a transvaginal ultrasound; these ultrasound waves are conducted through an ultrasound gel. The sound waves bounce off your blood vessels and internal organs. Once the ultrasound machine has been started, the ultrasound images are transformed onto a screen, giving our team clear pelvic ultrasounds.

Our team can do a pelvic ultrasound in one of three ways.

Your doctor can do this test in one of three ways:

• Transabdominal Ultrasound – This is carried out through your abdomen. We will have you lie on your back whilst on the examination table and use a small amount of gel; this will help the transducer move smoothly across your body and prevent air bubbles from showing up on the scan.
• Transvaginal Ultrasound – This is carried out through your vagina. The difference with this one is that to access your vagina with the pelvic ultrasound machine.
