Pelvic Scan – Post Menopause

This gynaecological scan is available to post menopausal women (i.e. 1 year after last period).

We will perform a detailed scan to look at the size, shape and condition of the:

• uterus
• lining of the womb
• both ovaries
• if required, imaging of the bladder and both kidneys

Common examples for having this ultrasound scan are:

• monitoring the effect of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) on the uterus
• detection or monitoring of fibroids
• checking for causes of irregular bleeding
• detection of endometrial polyps
• baseline screening for ovarian cancer

We will provide a Sonographer report at the time with a Medical Follow Up Recommendation if necessary.
