Gynaecology Ultrasound Scans

Our state-of-the-art scanning equipment provides the latest in ultrasound technology. You may attend for a gynaecology ultrasound on its own or in conjunction with a consultation and examination. The majority of gynaecology scans are performed using a vaginal probe (a small device inserted gently into the vagina) to obtain the clearest views of the pelvis.

The most comprehensive scan is a full pelvic ultrasound scan. Most specifically we offer endometrium thickness scan and follicle tracking scan. In some circumstances pelvic scans may be performed through the tummy wall.

Full Pelvic Ultrasound Scan

This is performed for women with a variety of gynaecological complaints including infertility. In principal this is a transvaginal scan performed by one of our experienced sonographers or by Dr Golara. This is done with an empty bladder. The uterus, cervix and both ovaries are visualised and measured.. Any cysts or abnormalities are noted. Normal fallopian tubes cannot be seen on scan. Any pathology is clearly documented.The position of an intra uterine device in the uterus can be seen.

Endometrial Thickness Scan

This is undertaken for women following an IVF programme. It may need to be done more than once. It gives guidance about the timing of IVF.

Follicle Tracking Scan

This is done to help women in monitoring their ovulation for fertility purposes. There will usually be three scans in one cycle.
