Accurate diagnosis of pelvic conditions
Pelvic ultrasound can detect fibroids, ovarian cysts, polyps, endometriosis, and other gynaecological conditions – often providing answers that lead to effective treatment.
Pelvic ultrasound is a safe, non‑invasive imaging technique that provides detailed visualization of the female pelvic organs – including the uterus, cervix, ovaries, and fallopian tubes. It is one of the most commonly performed ultrasound examinations and is essential for evaluating gynaecological conditions, assessing fertility, monitoring pregnancy, and investigating pelvic pain or abnormal bleeding.
Pelvic ultrasound can be performed using two approaches: transabdominal (through the abdomen with a full bladder) and transvaginal (using a small probe inserted into the vagina). Each approach has specific advantages, and often both are used together to obtain the most complete evaluation. The choice depends on the clinical indication and the structures that need to be visualised.
At Amytri, our pelvic ultrasounds are performed by experienced consultant radiologists using state‑of‑the‑art equipment. We take the time to explain the procedure, answer your questions, and provide a comprehensive report with clear, actionable findings. Whether you are planning a pregnancy, investigating a symptom, or monitoring a known condition, we ensure you receive accurate, compassionate care.
Pelvic ultrasound is the cornerstone of gynaecological imaging, providing essential information for diagnosis and treatment planning.

Pelvic ultrasound evaluates ovarian reserve, follicle development, endometrial thickness, and uterine anatomy – all critical factors in fertility assessment and treatment.
Pelvic ultrasound is used throughout pregnancy to monitor fetal development, and in gynaecology to follow up fibroids, cysts, or endometrial changes over time.
We systematically evaluate all pelvic organs using a combination of transabdominal and transvaginal approaches.
We assess the size, position (anteverted, retroverted), shape, and contour of the uterus. We measure the endometrial thickness and evaluate for fibroids, polyps, adenomyosis, and other uterine abnormalities.
We measure endometrial thickness and assess its echogenicity. This is particularly important in fertility assessment, abnormal uterine bleeding, and endometrial cancer screening.
We evaluate ovarian size, volume, and morphology. We assess follicle development (antral follicle count), detect ovarian cysts, and identify features of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
We assess the fallopian tubes for hydrosalpinx (fluid‑filled tubes) or other abnormalities, though tubal patency is typically assessed with hysterosalpingography (HSG) or hysterosalpingo‑contrast sonography (HyCoSy).
We evaluate the cervix for nabothian cysts, polyps, and cervical length (especially in pregnancy) – which is a predictor of preterm birth.
We assess for free fluid in the pelvis (which may indicate ovulation, rupture, or pathology) and evaluate the adnexal regions for masses or other abnormalities.
For the transabdominal scan, we ask you to come with a comfortably full bladder – this lifts the uterus and provides a clearer view. For the transvaginal scan, we ask you to empty your bladder beforehand.
We begin with the transabdominal scan to get an overview of the pelvis. Then, if needed, we perform the transvaginal scan for detailed evaluation of the uterus, ovaries, and endometrium. The total time is 15‑30 minutes.
We review the images and measurements, compare them to reference ranges, and prepare a comprehensive report. We explain the findings to you in simple language.
We discuss the results and their implications with you. If any abnormalities are found, we recommend appropriate next steps – which may include further imaging, specialist referral, or treatment.
Pelvic ultrasound is a versatile tool used for a wide range of gynaecological and obstetric indications.
Heavy, irregular, or post‑menopausal bleeding requires evaluation of the endometrium and uterine cavity.
Pelvic ultrasound can identify causes of pelvic pain – including ovarian cysts, fibroids, endometriosis, and pelvic inflammatory disease.
Pelvic ultrasound evaluates ovarian reserve, uterine anatomy, and endometrial receptivity – essential for fertility work‑up and treatment planning.
Pelvic ultrasound is the first‑line test for evaluating ovarian cysts, distinguishing between simple and complex cysts, and detecting ovarian masses.
Pelvic ultrasound can detect, locate, and characterize uterine fibroids – guiding decisions about treatment options.
Pelvic ultrasound is used in early pregnancy to confirm viability, date the pregnancy, and monitor fetal development.
Dr. Abhishek has extensive experience in gynaecological ultrasound, including transvaginal and transabdominal techniques. He is skilled in evaluating the full range of pelvic conditions – from routine gynaecological assessments to complex fertility and pregnancy imaging. He provides clear explanations and a supportive, patient‑centred approach.
Pelvic ultrasound is an important part of reproductive health – having your partner with you provides support and shared understanding, particularly when fertility is being assessed.
We welcome partners to attend the ultrasound, especially during fertility assessments or early pregnancy scans. We explain what we are seeing, answer questions, and create a comfortable, supportive environment for both of you.
A pelvic ultrasound is a non‑invasive imaging test that uses sound waves to produce images of the female pelvic organs – including the uterus, ovaries, cervix, and surrounding structures.
Transabdominal ultrasound is performed through the abdomen with a full bladder – it gives an overview of the pelvis. Transvaginal ultrasound uses a small probe inserted into the vagina – it provides more detailed images of the uterus, ovaries, and endometrium, especially in early pregnancy.
The transabdominal scan is painless. The transvaginal scan involves insertion of a small probe, which may be slightly uncomfortable but is not usually painful. We use a sterile, lubricated probe and ensure your comfort throughout.
For routine gynaecological assessment, days 5‑12 of the menstrual cycle are ideal. For fertility assessment, it is timed to specific phases of the cycle (follicular monitoring). For pregnancy, it is scheduled according to the trimester.
No referral is required for a pelvic ultrasound. You can book directly. However, if you are under the care of a gynaecologist or fertility specialist, we will share the report with them.
For the transabdominal scan, we ask you to drink water and come with a comfortably full bladder. For the transvaginal scan, we ask you to empty your bladder beforehand. We will give you specific instructions when you book.
