Combined Abdomen & Pelvic Ultrasound Scan

Benefits of a Combined Abdominal & Pelvic Ultrasound Scan

A combined scan assesses both the upper abdominal organs (such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas and kidneys) and the pelvic organs (such as the uterus, ovaries and bladder). This provides a more complete view of your internal health and can be especially helpful when symptoms could relate to multiple areas.

Why Might I Need This Scan?

A combined abdominal and pelvic scan may be recommended if you are experiencing:

• Lower abdominal or pelvic pain

• Bloating or abdominal fullness

• Changes in bowel or bladder habits

• Irregular or heavy periods

• Pain during intercourse

• Urinary frequency or discomfort

• Unexplained changes in body or hormone patterns

It may help detect or monitor conditions such as:

• Gallstones or liver inflammation

• Kidney stones or urinary issues

• Ovarian cysts or PCOS

• Uterine fibroids

• Endometrial lining changes

• Inflammation or structural changes within the pelvis

You may also choose this scan for general health reassurance.

What Happens During the Scan?

• You will be made comfortable in a private clinical room.

• A small amount of ultrasound gel is applied over the abdomen.

• A handheld ultrasound probe is gently moved across the skin to examine the abdominal organs.

• If a transvaginal pelvic scan is recommended (for clearer pelvic detail), this will be explained sensitively and performed only with your consent.

• The scan typically takes 15–20 minutes.

• Your sonographer will explain your results immediately.

• A written medical report will follow shortly after.

The scan is safe, non-invasive, and pain-free.

How to Prepare

For the Abdominal Portion:

• Avoid eating for at least 6 hours before your appointment.

• You may drink water or clear fluids.

• Take your regular medications as normal.

For the Pelvic Portion (Transabdominal):

• Please arrive with a comfortably full bladder.

• Drink around 0.5 litres of water 30 minutes before your scan.

• Try not to empty your bladder before the appointment.

For a Transvaginal Scan (if recommended or preferred):

• A full bladder is not required.

• You may be asked to empty your bladder before the scan.

Your sonographer will discuss the best approach with you on the day.
