What is an Ultrasound Transabdominal Pelvis Female?
Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves — no radiation and no injections — to produce real-time images of soft tissues and organs.
An Ultrasound Transabdominal Pelvis Female allows your radiologist to examine:
- The uterus, including its lining (endometrium) and muscle wall (myometrium).
- The ovaries, assessing their size, shape, and appearance.
- The bladder, checking its capacity and wall thickness.
- The lower part of the abdomen, including the bowel loops in this region.
- Fluid or masses within the pelvic cavity.
Ultrasound is safe, painless, and radiation-free — making it a first-line investigation for many conditions of the transabdominal pelvis female.

What can an Ultrasound Transabdominal Pelvis Female detect?
Ultrasound is highly effective in detecting:
- The general appearance and position of the uterus.
- Changes to the uterine lining, such as thickening or irregularities.
- The presence and appearance of ovarian cysts or other changes.
- The capacity and appearance of the bladder wall.
- The presence of fluid within the pelvis.

- Possible fibroids or other uterine abnormalities.
Preparing for your Ultrasound Transabdominal Pelvis Female
On the day of your scan:
- You will be asked to drink water beforehand to ensure your bladder is full for the scan. Please arrive with a comfortably full bladder.
- Wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows easy access to your lower abdomen.
- Avoid eating for 4 hours before your appointment if your scan includes the abdomen (e.g., liver, gallbladder, pancreas, aorta, kidneys). This specific pelvic scan does not require fasting.
- Please allow approximately 30 minutes for your appointment.
Please notify the team if:
- Please let us know if you are pregnant or suspect you might be.
- Inform us if you have any broken skin, infection, or an open wound over the area to be scanned.
- If you have a known latex allergy, please mention this when booking.
- We will ask about your medical history to ensure the scan is appropriate for you.

Frequently asked questions
Is the ultrasound gel cold?
A warm, water-based gel is applied to your skin to help the ultrasound probe make good contact. While it might feel slightly cool initially, it's generally comfortable.
How long does the scan take?
The scan itself usually takes around 15-20 minutes, but please allow up to 30 minutes for your appointment to include check-in and preparation.
Will I get my results straight away?
Your images will be reviewed by a UK-certified Consultant Radiologist. You will receive access to your full report via a secure online portal within 3 working days. You can then download, view, and share these results, or forward them to your GP if you wish.
How quickly can I get a scan?
Most MRI, ultrasound, and X-ray scans at MyScanHub can be booked same-day or next-day. Walk-in slots are available for X-rays most weekdays.
Do I need a GP referral?
No — MyScanHub accepts self-referral for most scans. Our consultant radiologists review every case. Some scans (e.g. contrast studies) do need a referring clinician; we'll let you know at booking.

Written reports from a GMC-registered consultant radiologist are delivered within 3 working days of your scan, often sooner. You can access the report — and the imaging — through your patient account on portal.myscanhub.com.
