How is the ultrasound scan performed?

Upper and lower abdominal area are scanned externally, with an ultrasound probe gently gliding over the abdomen.

Pelvic ultrasound can be performed transabdominally or performed internally- it is a trans-vaginal scan, where an ultrasound probe is gently inserted in order to provide most accurate diagnostics for organs including uterus, both ovaries and fallopian tubes.

This is an entirely painless and safe procedure, although it might not sound as a most comfortable one. Our staff are there to gently guide you and to ensure your comfort during the examination.

Please let us know if you are allergic to latexor have any concerns over trans-vaginal ultrasound.

What are the preparations for this ultrasound scan?

For the upper abdomen scan please be advised that 4 hour fasting is required – no food or drinks to be consumed but you can drink water as normal.
