Clear Imaging, Same-Day Insight
On-site pelvic ultrasound to evaluate bleeding, pain, fibroids, cysts, and IUD position—so you get answers sooner.
Pelvic ultrasound is a first-line, radiation-free way to visualize the uterus, ovaries, and surrounding structures. With on-site imaging, we can often review results together immediately and plan next steps without extra visits.
Fast Facts
No radiation; safe and well tolerated
Evaluates uterus, endometrium, ovaries, and adnexa
Often combines abdominal and transvaginal views for detail
Same-day results guide timely care
Common Reasons We Perform It
- Abnormal or heavy menstrual bleeding
- Pelvic pain, suspected cysts, or fibroids
- IUD placement or localization when strings are not visible
- Postmenopausal bleeding (endometrial thickness assessment)
- Fertility workups and baseline ovarian evaluation
What It Shows
Ultrasound can identify fibroids and polyps that distort the cavity, ovarian cysts and masses, fluid in the pelvis, and the thickness and pattern of the endometrium. Doppler can assess blood flow when needed, and saline infusion sonography may be recommended for a closer look inside the uterine cavity.
Transabdominal vs. Transvaginal
Transabdominal
- Probe on the lower abdomen over a full bladder
- Wider overview of pelvis
- Helpful for very large uteri or higher ovaries
- Less detailed view of the endometrium and ovaries
Transvaginal
- Slim probe placed a short distance into the vagina
- Closer, higher-resolution view of uterus and ovaries
- Better for endometrium, early cyst characterization, IUD position
- Empty bladder; brief pressure or mild cramping possible
What to Expect
You may be asked to arrive with a comfortably full bladder for the abdominal portion; you will empty it before the transvaginal portion. A protective cover and gel are used on the probe. Most exams take 15–30 minutes. We explain findings in plain language and outline any follow-up while you're here.
Before Your Visit
- ✓Wear a two-piece outfit for easier preparation
- ✓Drink water 30–60 minutes prior if asked to have a full bladder
- ✓Bring prior imaging reports if available
- ✓Tell us about IUDs, procedures, or pregnancies
- ✓Share any concerns about pelvic exams—we can adjust the plan
Frequently Asked Questions
1Is ultrasound safe?
Yes. Ultrasound uses sound waves, not radiation. It is considered safe across a wide range of gynecologic indications.
2Will it hurt?
Most patients feel only gentle pressure. Transvaginal imaging may cause brief pressure or mild cramping. Let us know and we'll proceed at a comfortable pace.
3When will I get results?
In most cases we review preliminary findings with you right away and coordinate any next steps the same day.
4What if the study is inconclusive?
We may recommend a saline infusion sonogram, repeat imaging at a different cycle phase, or additional tests to clarify the picture.
5Can you check my IUD?
Yes. Ultrasound can confirm IUD position and detect malposition or expulsion when strings are not visible.
