This gynaecological scan is available to women of child bearing age.
We will perform a detailed scan to look at the size, shape and condition of the:
- uterus
- lining of the womb
- both ovaries
- pelvic area
Common examples for having this ultrasound scan are:
- evaluating the wellbeing of the uterus and ovaries before conception
- estimating the time of ovulation and measuring the endometrial thickness for assisted conception, measuring follicles and endometrial thickness prior to private IVF treatment in the UK or abroad
- detecting the presence and / or position of an intra uterine contraceptive device (IUCD or Coil)
We will provide a Sonographer report at the time with a Medical Follow Up Recommendation if necessary.
