A pelvic scan evaluates the pelvic organs such as the uterus, ovaries (in women), prostate (in men), and bladder.
What is a Pelvic Scan?
A pelvic scan uses ultrasound to take a look at the organs in your pelvis, like your uterus, ovaries, bladder. It helps the doctor figure out if there’s anything wrong that could be causing issues down there.
How does it work?
For women, the ultrasound probe can be placed on your belly (transabdominal) or inserted vaginally (transvaginal) to get clear pictures.
Who needs a Pelvic Scan?
If you’re a woman experiencing pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding, irregular periods, or concerns about your reproductive health, a pelvic scan may provide answers. It’s a simple way for the doctor to check things out down below.
Pre-procedure:
To perform a transabdominal scan, you should have a full bladder. Wear loose, comfy clothes for easy access to the scan area.
During the Procedure:
You’ll lie back and relax on the table. The sonologist will glide a device over your pelvic area. It sends sound waves to make pictures of your organs on a screen. It’s painless – no shots or radiation is involved during the procedure. It takes around 5-10 minutes to perform the procedure comfortably.
After Procedure:
Once the procedure is completed, you are free to go right after! You can get back to your regular routine.
Results:
Hard copies of your report will be ready in 10-15 minutes once the scan is done.

A pelvic scan is used to examine the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, bladder (in women), and prostate (in men). It helps detect cysts, fibroids, infections, tumors, stones, or other abnormalities causing pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding, infertility, or urinary issues.
No, a pelvic scan is usually painless. A transabdominal scan only involves moving a probe over your lower abdomen. A transvaginal scan may cause mild discomfort, but it is generally well tolerated and quick.
The procedure typically takes about 5–10 minutes. In some cases, it may take slightly longer depending on the clinical condition.
For a transabdominal pelvic scan, you need to drink water and keep your bladder full before the scan. For a transvaginal scan, you may be asked to empty your bladder before the procedure.
A transabdominal scan is performed over the abdomen and requires a full bladder.
A transvaginal scan involves inserting a thin ultrasound probe into the vagina for clearer and more detailed images of the uterus and ovaries.
