Ultrasound Assessment of Female Pelvic Organs – Key Points

A pelvic ultrasound is a noninvasive test that uses sound waves to produce images of the female pelvic organs. These images allow your doctor to assess your pelvic structures and organs including the uterus, cervix, vagina, fallopian tubes and ovaries.

Ultrasound uses a transducer that sends out ultrasound waves at a high, inaudible frequency. These sound waves bounce off the organs like an echo and return to the transducer. The transducer processes the reflected waves, which are then converted by a computer into an image of the organs or tissues being examined.

An ultrasound gel is placed on the transducer and the skin to allow for smooth movement of the transducer over the skin and to eliminate air between the skin and the transducer for the best sound conduction.

Types/Methods of Ultrasound:

Transabdominal (through the tummy) – the transducer is placed on the abdomen with the ultrasound gel.
Transvaginal – A long, thin transducer is covered with the conducting gel and a plastic/latex sheath and is inserted into the vagina

Risks of Pelvic Ultrasound

There are very few risks from pelvic ultrasound due to the lack of radiation used for imaging. You may, however, experience some discomfort during the insertion of the transducer into the vagina if you undergo a transvaginal ultrasound.

Certain factors may reduce the effectiveness of the test:

Obesity
Intestinal Gas
Inadequately filled bladder – a full bladder moves the uterus up and the bowel out of the way for more effective imaging.

Reasons why you might be referred for an Ultrasound

To determine problems with the shape, size or structure of your uterus.
To look for cancer in your pelvic organs (bladder, ovaries, uterus)
To identify non-cancerous tumours, polyps and fibriods.
To identify the cause of excessive bleeding or pelvic pain.
To locate an IUD

Pre-operative Instructions

Preparing for your procedure:

EAT/DRINK : Drink a minimum of 700ml of clear fluid, preferably water, at least one hour before your appointment. Do not urinate until after the ultrasound.
Generally, no fasting or sedation is required for a pelvic ultrasound, unless the ultrasound is part of another procedure that requires anaesthesia.
For a transvaginal ultrasound, you should empty your bladder right before the procedure.
Your doctor will explain the procedure to you and offer you the opportunity to ask any questions that you might have about the procedure.
Based on your medical condition, your doctor may request other specific preparation

Payment Options

At Midlands Women’s Health, we offer a variety of secure and convenient payment methods to make your experience as smooth as possible.

Payment Terms and Conditions

At Midlands Women’s Health, we aim to provide transparency and fairness in all aspects of your care, including payments. A £50 non-refundable deposit is required when booking your appointment. This deposit ensures your appointment is reserved and helps us manage our clinic availability efficiently. The final balance for your booked appointment will be issued and is payable 72 hours prior to your scheduled appointment date. We request payment prior to your appointment to effectively manage clinic utilisation effectively and optimisation of patient wait times.

Rescheduling

If you need to reschedule and inform us at least 72 hours in advance, your £50 deposit will be transferred to your new appointment.
For rescheduling requests within 72 hours of your appointment, the deposit will be retained as an administration fee, as short-notice changes limit our ability to offer the slot to other patients.

Cancellations

Cancellations made 48 hours or more before your appointment will receive a refund of your payment minus the £50 non-refundable deposit, where final balance has been made.
Cancellations made within 48 hours of your appointment will incur the full appointment fee, with no refund. This policy is in place because last-minute cancellations make it difficult to fill the appointment slot.

No-Shows

If you do not attend your appointment without notice, no refund will be provided.

Refunds

Refunds will be returned to your original payment method within 5-7 business days.

Additional Costs

Please note that additional costs may be incurred during your appointment, depending on the diagnosis and treatment options discussed with your Consultant. Any additional costs will be clearly explained and approved by you before proceeding, ensuring full transparency and consent.

We appreciate your understanding, as these policies allow us to provide reliable, high-quality care for all our patients. We look forward to welcoming you to Midlands Women’s Health.
