Transvaginal ultrasound
Whether you’re experiencing new symptoms, planning a pregnancy, or seeking answers after menopause, a transvaginal ultrasound (sometimes called an internal ultrasound) can give you clarity and reassurance about your health.
This safe internal scan provides a detailed view of your reproductive system. It helps detect possible conditions early, so your care team can guide the next steps with confidence. At London Medical, we perform these ultrasounds in a calm, private setting where your comfort comes first.
What is a transvaginal ultrasound?
A transvaginal ultrasound is a type of pelvic scan that gives us a clear, close-up view of your internal organs. It’s used to examine your womb, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and cervix.
Unlike an abdominal ultrasound, which scans over your stomach, this scan is done internally. A slim, smooth ultrasound probe is gently inserted into your vagina to provide clearer images of your pelvic organs.
It’s a straightforward procedure that can help explain symptoms and provide peace of mind when something doesn’t feel right.
Ultrasound scans use high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images of your internal organs.
In a transvaginal scan, placing the probe inside the vagina means it sits closer to the area being examined. This gives much clearer images than an external scan.
There’s no radiation involved – just sound waves which generate live images to help us see what’s going on inside your body.
A transvaginal ultrasound offers a range of benefits, especially when a detailed look at your pelvic organs is needed.
Benefits of a transvaginal ultrasound include:
- clearer, more detailed images – especially useful for seeing smaller pelvic structures like the ovaries, or early pregnancy changes
- safe and non-invasive – there’s no use of radiation, and the procedure doesn’t involve surgery
- quick and convenient – most scans take under 30 minutes and have a very short recovery time
- helpful for early diagnosis – enables us to spot any issues sooner and recommend the right treatment plan
- guides further care – your results can help identify if additional tests, monitoring or treatment are needed
