About The Test
What is a Pelvis Special Study Ultrasound Scan?
A Pelvis Special Study Ultrasound Scan is a high-resolution, radiation-free imaging test that uses sound waves to create live pictures of your pelvic organs. It helps doctors examine the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, prostate, bladder, and surrounding tissues in real time.
Types of Pelvis Special Study Ultrasound Scan
Transabdominal Pelvic Ultrasound
- A probe is moved across your lower abdomen.
- Requires a full bladder for clearer images.
Transvaginal/Transrectal Ultrasound
- A thin, lubricated probe is gently inserted into the vagina (women) or rectum (men).
- Offers closer, more detailed images—no full bladder needed.
Doppler-enhanced Pelvic Ultrasound
- Adds colour Doppler to assess blood flow to organs and masses.
- Helps distinguish cysts from solid tumours or check ovarian torsion.
List of Parameters
| Parameter | What We Look For |
|---|---|
| Uterine size, position and endometrium | Thickness, polyps, fibroids |
| Ovarian volume and follicle count | PCOS monitoring, fertility status |
| Bladder wall thickness & residue | Infection, obstruction, incomplete emptying |
| Prostate volume (males) | Benign enlargement or suspicious lesions |
| Adnexal and cul-de-sac assessment | Free fluid, masses, endometriotic deposits |
Why This Test
- Chronic pelvic pain evaluation
- Abnormal bleeding or discharge
- Infertility work-up
- Post-surgical follow-up
When to Take Test
You may need this scan if you experience:
- Chronic pelvic pain
- Irregular or heavy bleeding
- Fertility challenges
- Post-surgery follow-up
- Urinary issues or prostate concerns
Benefits
Benefits of Taking the Pelvis Special Study Ultrasound Scan
- Non-invasive and radiation-free
- Real-time imaging—see organs move, measure blood flow immediately
- Guides next steps—biopsy, medication, or surgery planning
Illnesses Diagnosed with the Scan
- Fibroids and uterine polyps
- Ovarian cysts or PCOS
- Endometriosis
- Ectopic pregnancy
- Prostatic enlargement or malignancy
Preparing for test
- Fasting vs. full bladder:
- Transabdominal: Drink 1 litre of water 1 hour before; keep bladder full.
- Transvaginal/rectal: Empty bladder just before the test; no fasting needed.
- Clothing: Wear loose, two-piece outfits for easy access.
- Medications & allergies: Bring a list; mention latex allergy for probe covers.
Pre-requisites
- Doctor referral or requisition form
- Previous imaging reports for comparison
- Menstrual cycle timing—Day 5–10 is ideal for fertility studies
Best Time to Take the Scan
- Day 5–10 of menstrual cycle for fertility imaging
- Any time for acute pain or bleeding
- Morning slots if fasting is required
Eligibility
- Pregnant and non-pregnant women
- Post-menopausal women
- Adolescents 12 years and older (with guardian consent)
- Male patients for prostate or rectal imaging
Procedure for Taking the Scan
- You’ll lie on an exam table with your abdomen or hips exposed.
- A warm gel is applied; the probe glides over skin or is gently inserted.
- Images appear on-screen; the sonographer captures multiple views.
- Duration: 15–30 minutes, depending on complexity.
Caution Before Taking the Test
- Disclose pregnancy status—impacts probe choice.
- Inform about latex allergy—non-latex covers are available.
- Remove genital piercings—to avoid artefacts.
Test Results
Results and Interpretations
| Finding / Observation | Description | General Interpretation / Significance |
|---|---|---|
| Normal uterus size & endometrial thicknes | 7-8 cm long, 5 mm lining in early cycle | No evidence of structural disease |
| Simple ovarian cyst <3 cm | Thin-walled, anechoic | Usually physiological, follow-up optional |
| Endometrial polyp | Focal thickening with vascular stalk | May need hysteroscopic removal |
| Free fluid in cul-de-sac | Small, anechoic collection | Normal in ovulation; large volumes may suggest ruptured cyst |
Risks & Limitations
- Risk level: None. Ultrasound uses harmless sound waves.
- Limitations: Deep-lying structures may be harder to see in patients with a high BMI or excessive bowel gas.
FAQs
Is the scan painful?
Discomfort is minimal; transvaginal probes are slender and well-lubricated.
Can I eat before the scan?
Yes, unless fasting is requested for an additional abdominal study.
How soon will I get my results?
Same day for routine scans; urgent cases within 1 hour.
Do I need a full bladder?
Only for transabdominal scans. You’ll be told when to empty it.
Is it safe during pregnancy?
Absolutely—ultrasound has no radiation.
What if an abnormality is found?
Our radiologist will discuss findings with your doctor and recommend next steps.
