What Is a Pelvic Ultrasound?
A pelvic ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging test that uses high-frequency sound waves to capture real-time images of the pelvic organs. It helps evaluate structures such as:
For Women
Uterus
Cervix
Ovaries
Fallopian tubes (in some conditions)
Endometrium
Bladder
Pelvic blood vessels
For Men
Prostate gland
Seminal vesicles
Bladder
Surrounding pelvic tissues
Pelvic ultrasound is radiation-free, painless, and safe for all age groups—including pregnant women.
Why Pelvic Ultrasound Is Important
Pelvic organs are deeply located and cannot be visualized through external examination alone. A pelvic ultrasound helps in:
Early detection of abnormalities
Accurate diagnosis and monitoring
Treatment planning
Guiding procedures such as biopsies or drainage
Ensuring safe pregnancy progression
At Sparsh Hospital, we follow standardized protocols to ensure every scan is clear, detailed, and clinically useful.
Types of Pelvic Ultrasound at Sparsh Hospital
1. Transabdominal Pelvic Ultrasound
This is performed externally by moving the probe over the lower abdomen.
Used for:
General pelvic evaluation
Pregnancy
Large masses or pathology
Bladder disorders
A full bladder is usually required for clearer visibility.
2. Transvaginal Ultrasound (TVS)
A probe is gently inserted into the vagina for detailed imaging.
Used for:
Infertility evaluation
Early pregnancy scans
PCOD/PCOS
Endometrial assessment
Ovarian cysts or tumors
Uterine fibroids
TVS provides high-resolution images because the probe is closer to reproductive organs.
3. Transrectal Ultrasound (TRUS)
This test is used primarily for men and sometimes women when detailed rectal and prostate imaging is needed.
Used for:
Prostate evaluation
Infertility in men
Tumor assessment
Seminal vesicle examination
4. Doppler Pelvic Ultrasound
Doppler technology assesses blood flow in pelvic organs.
Used for:
Ovarian torsion
Tumor vascularity
High-risk pregnancy assessment
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)
Varicocele in men
