How Pelvic Well-Being Scans Work

Pelvic well-being scans use high-frequency sound waves to create detailed images of the pelvic organs. There are two primary methods:

Abdominal Ultrasound - A conductive gel is applied to the lower abdomen. A transducer is moved over the abdomen to capture images of the pelvic region.

Transvaginal Ultrasound - A slender, wand-shaped transducer is gently inserted into the vagina. This method provides a closer and clearer view of the uterus and ovaries.

Both methods are designed to provide comprehensive information about your pelvic health.
