Common Questions
What preparation is needed for an abdominal and pelvic ultrasound scan?
Fast for at least 4 hours before your appointment (water is fine). Also drink 1 litre of water about 1 hour before and try not to empty your bladder. A full bladder is needed for clear pelvic imaging.
How long does the scan take?
The combined abdominal and pelvic examination typically takes 30–45 minutes. Allow up to 60 minutes for your total appointment.
Is a transvaginal scan included?
This package covers the transabdominal examination. If a transvaginal scan is clinically indicated for better pelvic assessment, this can be discussed with the sonographer on the day.
Will I get results on the day?
Yes. The sonographer will discuss findings with you immediately after the scan. A detailed written report is emailed within 24 hours.
Do I need a GP referral?
No referral is required. You can book directly with us at any time.
