How it Works

A transabdominal or transvaginal probe sends sound waves that create live images of pelvic structures.

How We Do It

Performed in-clinic by a trained technician or physician.

Side Effects

None — it’s non-invasive (except mild discomfort during a transvaginal exam).

Time to Full Effect

Results are typically available the same day or within 48 hours.

Is it painful?

No — though transvaginal ultrasound may feel mildly uncomfortable.

Do I need to come with a full bladder?

Yes, for abdominal scans. Not necessary for transvaginal scans.

What can this test detect?

Ovarian cysts, fibroids, endometriosis, uterine abnormalities, and more.

Is it safe during pregnancy?

Yes. It’s a standard tool in pregnancy care.

How do I prepare?

Drink water if advised and wear comfortable clothing.
