What Is a Transvaginal/Pelvic Ultrasound Scan?

A transvaginal ultrasound scan is a safe and detailed examination that uses sound waves to create images of your reproductive organs. At Luna Fertility, we use this scan to assess the uterus, ovaries, endometrium, and developing follicles.

During the scan, a slim, covered ultrasound probe is gently inserted into the vagina, allowing us to obtain clear images of the pelvic area. It does not use radiation and is commonly used during fertility assessments and treatment monitoring.

Depending on your needs, we may also perform a pelvic ultrasound through the abdomen. Our team will explain the process and recommend the most suitable approach for your assessment.

Conditions and Fertility Concerns We Assess

A transvaginal or pelvic ultrasound may be recommended when investigating a range of reproductive and gynaecological concerns, including:

  • Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
  • Ovarian cysts
  • Fibroids
  • Endometrial polyps
  • Changes in the uterine lining
  • Irregular menstrual cycles
  • Pelvic pain
  • Heavy or unusual bleeding
  • Difficulties conceiving
  • Ovarian reserve assessment
  • Fertility treatment monitoring

An ultrasound cannot diagnose every fertility or gynaecological condition on its own.

Your clinician may recommend blood tests, a medical history review, or other investigations alongside your scan.

What We Assess During Your Ultrasound

During your pelvic ultrasound, the clinician may assess several important aspects of your reproductive health.

Uterus and Endometrium

We assess the size, shape and appearance of the uterus and examine the endometrium, or womb lining. The thickness and appearance of the lining can provide useful information during fertility assessment.

Ovaries and Follicles

The ovaries are examined for their appearance, size, and developing follicles. Depending on the purpose of your scan, an antral follicle count (AFC) may also be performed as part of an ovarian reserve assessment.

Pelvic Structures

The scan can also provide information about other visible pelvic structures and may help identify findings such as ovarian cysts, fibroids or other abnormalities that may need further assessment.

Our Transvaginal/Pelvic Ultrasound Scan Process in London

We aim to keep your appointment straightforward and comfortable.

Step 1. Discuss Your Reason for the Scan

Your appointment begins with an understanding of why the ultrasound has been recommended and any relevant symptoms, fertility concerns, or previous investigations.

Step 2. Perform the Ultrasound

For a transvaginal scan, a covered ultrasound probe is gently inserted into the vagina. The clinician moves the probe carefully to obtain clear images of the uterus and ovaries.

Step 3. Review the Findings

The ultrasound findings are assessed carefully, including the appearance of the uterus, endometrium and ovaries.

Step 4. Discuss the Next Steps

Your clinician can explain the findings and advise whether further fertility investigations, monitoring or treatment may be appropriate.

Transvaginal Ultrasound for Fertility Assessment

At our IVF clinic in London, a transvaginal ultrasound can be an important part of your fertility assessment.

It gives our clinical team a detailed view of the uterus, ovaries, and endometrium, helping us identify findings that may affect your fertility.

During the scan, we may assess:

  • Ovaries and developing follicles
  • Antral follicle count (AFC)
  • Uterine size and shape
  • Endometrial thickness and appearance
  • Ovarian cysts or other visible abnormalities

The scan can also be used to monitor follicle development during fertility treatment.

By combining your ultrasound findings with your medical history and other fertility tests, we can provide a clearer picture of your reproductive health and help guide your next steps.

How to Prepare for Your Pelvic Ultrasound

Preparing for your pelvic ultrasound at Luna Fertility is usually simple. Your preparation may vary depending on whether you are having a transvaginal or abdominal scan.

Before your appointment:

  • Follow any specific instructions provided by our clinical team.
  • For a transvaginal ultrasound, you may be asked to empty your bladder before the scan.
  • For an abdominal pelvic ultrasound, you may need a comfortably full bladder.
  • Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the examination area.
  • Let our team know if you have any questions or concerns before your appointment.

We will explain what to expect before your scan, so you can feel comfortable and prepared throughout your visit.

Benefits of Having a Specialised Pelvic Ultrasound Scan in London
