If you are undergoing IVF treatment in the UK or abroad, your fertility clinic may request that you have a pelvic scan.

The Pelvic scan is a scan that looks at following;

• Assessment of the size and shape of the uterus (womb)
• Assessment of the appearance of ovaries
• Assessment of the lining of the womb (endometrium)
• Assessment of the adnexal area (around the uterus/ovaries)
• Your fertility clinic will request any required information.

This scan is usually performed trans-vaginally for optimum results. A pelvic scan is always begun through the trans-abdominal route and then trans-vaginally. You can decline the vaginal scan but please note that depending upon other factors (body habitus, type of gynaecological pathology, etc.) the results will not be accurate.
