What is a Transvaginal Scan?
A transvaginal ultrasound is an internal examination that gives detailed images of a woman's reproductive organs. Unlike an abdominal ultrasound, it uses a specially designed transducer placed inside the vagina to get closer to the pelvic organs.
That proximity allows higher-frequency sound waves and clearer, more detailed images of the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and cervix.
- More detailed images than abdominal ultrasound
- No radiation exposure
- Minimal discomfort during the procedure
- Quick — typically 15–30 minutes
- Immediate results and interpretation
What to Expect During Your Scan
A simple, well-tolerated procedure — here's exactly what happens.
Preparation
You'll empty your bladder and change into a gown. Our female staff ensure your privacy throughout.
Positioning
You'll lie on the table with feet in stirrups, similar to a pelvic exam, with a sheet for modesty.
The Scan
A small, sterile transducer (about the size of a tampon) with a protective sheath and gel is gently inserted.
Image Capture
The sonographer/doctor captures images from different angles. You may feel slight pressure but typically no pain.
Results
The scan takes about 15–30 minutes. Our doctor reviews the images and provides a full report.
Your comfort comes first. The procedure is generally well-tolerated with minimal discomfort, and our female staff ensure your privacy and dignity at every step.
