Pelvic ultrasound in Warsaw
A pelvic scan is the standard first look in gynecology. It shows the uterus, ovaries and endometrium in detail and picks up problems early.
What a pelvic ultrasound is
A pelvic ultrasound examines the internal reproductive organs with sound waves. It shows the uterus and ovaries, the fallopian tubes when something is wrong with them, and the thickness and structure of the endometrium.
It is entirely safe: there is no radiation and no contraindication. It can be done at any age, in pregnancy and while breastfeeding.
What is assessed
The uterus
- Size and position
- Shape, including developmental anomalies
- The structure of the muscle wall
- Fibroids
- Adenomyosis
- The position of an IUD
The ovaries
- Size and volume
- The antral follicle count
- The dominant follicle
- The corpus luteum
- Cysts, functional and endometriotic
- Tumours
The endometrium
The lining of the uterus is assessed separately, for both thickness and structure. It changes through the cycle: 3–6 mm just after a period, 8–12 mm before the next one. Departures from that can point to hyperplasia, polyps or atrophy.

Functional, endometriotic, dermoid
Fibroids

Endometrial polyps

When a pelvic scan is indicated
How the scan goes
1. Getting ready
You lie on the couch. For a transvaginal scan the bladder should be empty; for a transabdominal one it should be full.
2. The scan
The probe is used with gel. The transvaginal probe is placed in the vagina — painlessly — while the abdominal one moves over the belly.
3. Going through the organs
The uterus, the endometrium and both ovaries are examined in turn, and blood flow is checked. You can see the image on the screen.
4. The result
You hear what was found straight away and can ask about any of it. You leave with a written report and images.
How to prepare
Transvaginal scan
No preparation needed.
The bladder should be empty — just use the toilet beforehand. This gives the clearest view of the uterus and ovaries.
Transabdominal scan
Fill your bladder:
drink 0.5–1 litre of water an hour before and do not empty it until the scan is done. A full bladder acts as a window to see through.
When in the cycle
Best: days 5–7 of the cycle (right after your period ends).
The endometrium is thin then, anything inside the uterus stands out, and the ovaries can be assessed.
Exceptions: acute pain means any day; assessing ovulation means mid-cycle; suspected endometriosis is better seen in the second half.
