We are pleased to provide transvaginal ultrasound in our clinics, carried out by one of our excellent team of doctors.
An ultrasound is a type of diagnostic imaging procedure in which a probe is used to collect a moving image of a part of the body. It is a way of identifying abnormalities and diagnosing various conditions.
With over 26 years of medical experience, our clinics also have female GPs available every day to assist female patients.
The probe is small device which emits high-frequency sound waves, which bounce off of the surfaces of the body, creating echoes which are collected by the probe and converted into images of the internal organs. This allows the doctor to get a visualisation of the body part being examined.
Some ultrasounds are external, and some are used for internal examination, such as of the uterus and ovaries. Transvaginal ultrasound simply means an ultrasound which is conducted through the vagina. It shows the doctor images of the vagina, cervix, uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. It is used as a diagnostic tool in the presence of unexplained vaginal bleeding, pelvic pain, infertility, ectopic pregnancy, possible cysts or fibroids, and to check for the placement of an IUCD.
It can also be uses to diagnose conditions such as cancer, miscarriage, placenta previa, or foetal birth defects, and it can also monitor the heartbeat of the foetus. During the procedure itself, you will lie on your back or side, with your knees drawn up or back, towards your chest. The doctor inserts an ultrasound probe (less than a fingers width) a few centimetres into the vagina, which then transmits images onto a monitor.
This process is usually not painful, and does not take long. There may be some discomfort, but no anaesthetic or painkillers are needed. Additionally:
Remember, a transvaginal ultrasound is a non-invasive, radiation-free, and completely safe procedure. It poses no known risks and can be performed safely during early pregnancy.
There is also no downtime after a transvaginal ultrasound. This means you can resume your normal activities immediately. Your doctor will review the results and discuss any next steps if needed.

Before the scan, you will need to empty your bladder. You may continue taking any prescribed medications as usual. It is also best to wear comfortable clothing that can be easily removed from the waist down. If you are on your period, the test can still be performed unless your healthcare provider advises otherwise.
The procedure is typically takes about 15 to 30 minutes. During the procedure, you will lie on an exam table in a position similar to a pelvic exam. A thin, wand-shaped transducer, covered with a sterile sheath and gel, is then gently inserted into the vagina. The transducer emits sound waves that create real-time images on a screen. You may feel mild pressure during the procedure, but it should not be painful.
We will inform you of your results after the procedure. If additional tests are needed, we will contact you as soon as we receive them. For transparency, all our test and service pricing is available on our website. This means you will be fully informed about what you need and the exact cost before booking your appointment with us.
