Why book an Complete Female Ultrasound Scan?

Pelvic Pain, Discomfort or Swelling

The ultrasound can detect abnormalities in the pelvic and lower abdominal organs, such as tumours, cysts, fibroids, and stones in the bladder or kidneys. Other concerning symptoms could include, blood in urine or change in urinary patterns (change in frequency)

 

General Health Screening

Often included in general health screenings to ensure that all is well with the pelvic and lower abdominal organs, even in the absence of symptoms, especially in older adults or those with risk factors for certain diseases.

Monitoring and Follow-Up

For patients with known conditions, such as ovarian cysts or uterine fibroids, an ultrasound helps monitor their size and growth over time. After surgeries related to the pelvic or abdominal organs, ultrasounds are used to ensure healing is proceeding as expected and to check for any complications like infections or internal bleeding.

Reproductive Health

Evaluates the health of the uterus and ovaries, checking for conditions like PCOS, endometriosis, or other reproductive issues that could affect fertility and general health. This could be for fertility exploration or known issues. Patients who are experiencing irregular or painful menstrual cycles may also opt for this service for further investigation of symptoms.

Screening for Cancer

Regular ultrasounds can be part of a routine check-up to screen for early signs of cancer in organs like the ovaries or bladder, particularly in individuals at high risk due to family history or genetic predispositions.
