Superior image quality
Because the probe is placed close to the pelvic organs, transvaginal ultrasound produces high‑resolution images that reveal fine details – often missed with transabdominal approaches.
Transvaginal ultrasound is a specialised imaging technique that uses a small, high‑frequency probe inserted into the vagina to obtain exceptionally clear images of the pelvic organs – including the uterus, ovaries, endometrium, cervix, and early pregnancy structures. Because the probe is placed closer to the organs of interest, it provides higher resolution and more detailed views than a transabdominal approach.
This examination is commonly used for early pregnancy assessment (confirming viability, dating, and detecting ectopic pregnancy), fertility evaluation (follicular monitoring, endometrial thickness), and diagnosis of gynaecological conditions (fibroids, ovarian cysts, polyps, and pelvic pain). It is safe, well‑tolerated, and often performed in conjunction with a transabdominal ultrasound for a complete evaluation.
At Amytri, our transvaginal ultrasounds are performed by experienced consultant radiologists using state‑of‑the‑art equipment. We take time to explain the procedure, ensure your comfort and privacy, and provide a comprehensive report with clear, actionable findings. Our compassionate approach ensures you feel at ease throughout the examination.
Transvaginal ultrasound provides superior detail, enabling accurate diagnosis and timely management of gynaecological and early pregnancy conditions.
Because the probe is placed close to the pelvic organs, transvaginal ultrasound produces high‑resolution images that reveal fine details – often missed with transabdominal approaches.
Transvaginal ultrasound can detect a gestational sac as early as 4‑5 weeks and a fetal heartbeat by 5‑6 weeks – making it essential for early pregnancy assessment.
Transvaginal ultrasound is typically quick, comfortable, and does not require a full bladder – making it more convenient than transabdominal approaches in many cases.
Our transvaginal ultrasound provides a comprehensive assessment of the female pelvic organs with exceptional clarity.
We assess uterine size, position (anteverted, retroverted), shape, and contour. We measure endometrial thickness and evaluate for fibroids, polyps, adenomyosis, and other abnormalities.
We measure the endometrial thickness and assess its echogenicity and pattern. This is critical for evaluating fertility, abnormal bleeding, and endometrial pathology.
We evaluate ovarian size, volume, and morphology. We assess follicle development (antral follicle count), detect ovarian cysts, and identify features of PCOS.
We confirm the presence of a gestational sac, yolk sac, and fetal pole. We detect the fetal heartbeat and assess for ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage.
We evaluate cervical length, especially in pregnancy, and assess for nabothian cysts, polyps, and other cervical abnormalities.
We assess for free fluid in the pouch of Douglas and evaluate the adnexal regions for masses, cysts, or other abnormalities.
We ask you to empty your bladder before the scan. You will be asked to lie on your back with your knees bent and feet in stirrups or support – similar to a pelvic examination.
A small, sterile, lubricated probe is gently inserted into the vagina. The probe emits sound waves that create detailed images on the screen. The scan takes about 15‑20 minutes and is usually painless.
We review the images in real time, take measurements, and prepare a comprehensive report. We explain the findings to you in simple, understandable 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.
It is the preferred method for many gynaecological and early pregnancy conditions, especially when detailed imaging is required.
Transvaginal ultrasound is the gold standard for confirming early pregnancy, detecting the heartbeat, and ruling out ectopic pregnancy.
Transvaginal ultrasound is essential for follicular monitoring, endometrial assessment, and evaluating ovarian reserve in fertility treatment.
Detailed evaluation of the endometrium and uterine cavity helps identify polyps, fibroids, and endometrial pathology.
Transvaginal ultrasound can identify ovarian cysts, endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and other causes of pelvic pain.
Transvaginal ultrasound provides the best visualisation of ovarian cysts and masses, helping to distinguish between simple and complex lesions.
Detailed imaging of the uterus helps characterise fibroids, adenomyosis, and congenital uterine anomalies.
Dr. Abhishek has extensive experience in transvaginal ultrasound, including early pregnancy, fertility, and gynaecological imaging. He understands that this examination can be sensitive and ensures that every patient feels comfortable, respected, and well‑informed throughout the process.
Transvaginal ultrasound is often performed for fertility or early pregnancy – having your partner with you provides support and shared understanding.
We welcome partners to be present during the scan if you wish. We ensure your privacy and comfort at all times, and we explain what we are seeing so both of you can understand the findings. Your partner's presence can be especially reassuring during early pregnancy scans or fertility assessments.
A transvaginal ultrasound is an imaging test that uses a small, high‑frequency probe inserted into the vagina to produce detailed images of the pelvic organs, including the uterus, ovaries, and early pregnancy structures.
Most women find it slightly uncomfortable but not painful. The probe is small, lubricated, and inserted gently. We take care to ensure your comfort throughout the examination.
No – we actually ask you to empty your bladder before the scan, as a full bladder can push the uterus out of position and reduce image quality.
Yes, transvaginal ultrasound is completely safe in pregnancy. It is routinely used in early pregnancy to confirm viability, date the pregnancy, and detect complications like ectopic pregnancy.
For gynaecological assessment, days 5‑12 of the menstrual cycle are often best. For fertility monitoring, it depends on your cycle phase. For early pregnancy, it is performed from 5‑6 weeks onwards. Your doctor will advise the optimal timing for your indication.
No referral is required. You can book directly. However, if you are under the care of a gynaecologist or fertility specialist, we will share the report with them.
