Gynaecology Ultrasound

Gynaecology (pelvic) ultrasound produces detailed images of the uterus, endometrium (womb lining), ovaries and surrounding pelvic structures. It may be performed through the abdomen, internally (transvaginally) for clearer images, or both, with your consent.

What it can help assess

• Pelvic pain or heavy or irregular periods
• Fibroids and ovarian cysts
• Suspected endometriosis or polycystic ovaries
• Checking the position of a coil (IUD)
• Postmenopausal bleeding

Women’s health imaging, with dignity and expertise.
