    Well Woman | Abdominal and Pelvic Wellbeing

    The abdominal section of this scan covers the liver, the gallbladder, the pancreas, the kidneys, the spleen and bile ducts. The sonographer will also complete an abdominal aortic aneurysm (‘triple A’ or AAA) scan to detect any issues with your aorta - the large blood vessel that runs through your abdomen. The pelvic wellbeing scan is performed to assess the shape, size and health of the uterus, ovaries, endometrial lining and the pelvic area. This will include both abdominal and internal (transvaginal) ultrasound scans.

    We recommend that you fast at least 4 hours (ideally 6) prior to this scan - it is possible that some organs are not visible due to overlying bowel gas, which fasting helps to prevent. If your dietary requirements or health prevent you from fasting, please let us know.

  • Follicle Tracking

    Follicle tracking is a method used to predict the time of ovulation through a series of both abdominal and internal (transvaginal) scans. The intention is to assess both the size and number of follicles and the thickness of the endometrium (the lining of the uterus).

    This service is very useful for those receiving fertility treatment abroad - usually the clinics will request follicle tracking scans to be done prior to travel. We will provide electronic reports for you to give to your fertility centre.
