What is a Gynecologic/Pelvic Ultrasound?
A pelvic ultrasound is a safe and painless test that uses sound waves (not radiation) to create pictures of the organs in your pelvic area, such as the uterus, ovaries, cervix, and bladder. IUD placement can also be evaluated.

​

How does it work?
A warm gel is placed on your lower belly, and a small handheld device called a transducer is moved across the skin to capture images. Sometimes, a thin probe may also be used inside the vagina for an even closer look—this is called a transvaginal ultrasound. Both methods are safe and provide important details about your reproductive health.

Why is it important?
Pelvic ultrasounds help providers check for causes of pain, irregular bleeding, infertility, or other concerns. They are also used to monitor conditions like ovarian cysts, fibroids, or early pregnancy. It’s a quick, non-invasive way to better understand your health and guide the right treatment or care.
