Private Pelvic
Ultrasound For Women

A pelvic ultrasound can be executed using two distinct imaging methods:

1. Transabdominal (TA): The sonographer glides a high-resolution scanning probe across your external lower abdomen using a clear, water-based gel. This requires a full bladder to construct an acoustic layout.

2. Transvaginal (TV): A specialized, slender internal probe is carefully inserted into the vaginal canal. This internal method bypasses abdominal tissue barriers, positioning the lens inches from your uterus and ovaries to capture exceptional diagnostic precision. Your sonographer will discuss both paths and request your clear consent beforehand.

Preparation dependencies rely strictly on the type of scan performed:

• For a Transabdominal Scan, you must arrive with a completely straight, full bladder. We request consuming approximately 1.5 to 2 pints of water roughly one hour before your slot time. Do not empty your bladder prior to entering the scan room.

• For a Transvaginal Scan, an empty bladder is required. You will be requested to comfortably pass urine right before the imaging sequence initiates.

At Medical Diagnosis Victoria, we do not implement delayed processing timelines. A comprehensive, clinically certified diagnostic written summary report is generated, finalized, and handed to you directly before you exit the clinic doors. You can immediately share these files with your primary care provider.

Yes, a pelvic ultrasound can be executed safely at any milestone point across your menstrual cycle, including during your period. Active bleeding parameters do not compromise ultrasound imaging tracking loops. In fact, specific fertility investigations or lining evaluations are strategically scheduled during early menstrual phases. If you wear an internal tampon or menstrual cup, you will simply be requested to remove it prior to an internal transvaginal check.

A transvaginal ultrasound should not cause physical pain. The high-frequency clinical probe used is uniquely slender only slightly wider than an average tampon. Most patients describe a sensation of mild localized pressure as the sonographer moves the probe to view individual ovaries. Our clinical teams navigate this procedure with absolute precision and care, and you can instruct the handler to stop the session at any moment.
