A gynaecological ultrasound is an ultrasound assessment of the female pelvis, focussed mainly on the uterus and the ovaries, although other structures may be seen.

A gynaecological ultrasound can be performed for many different indications, such as:

• Period or pelvic pain
• Bleeding between periods
• Heavy periods
• Irregular periods
• Absence of periods
• Difficulty conceiving
• Possible fibroids
• Suspected ovarian cyst
• Suspected pelvic mass felt on clinical examination
• Postmenopausal bleeding
• Screening for ovarian cancer

VAGINAL ULTRASOUND 

Vaginal ultrasound provides much clearer views and more detail of the pelvic structures. A narrow, gel covered probe is gently introduced into the vagina. Most patients experience no pain or only very mild discomfort. The examination takes approximately 10-20 minutes.

ABDOMINAL ULTRASOUND 

In young girls, women who have not been sexually active or women who don't feel comfortable having a vaginal ultrasound, a transabdominal ultrasound, or an ultrasound through the abdominal wall can be performed. A very full bladder is needed.
