Pelvic ultrasound is a noninvasive imaging study that uses sound waves to generate clear images of the pelvic organs and structures. In women, it assesses the uterus, ovaries, endometrium, and bladder; in men, it focuses primarily on the bladder and prostate. It is a fundamental tool for the diagnosis and monitoring of gynecological, urological, and reproductive diseases.

Conventional and specialized studies: abdominal, pelvic, obstetric, thyroid, breast, soft tissue, renal, hepatobiliary, transvaginal, testicular, musculoskeletal, and more.

What is a pelvic ultrasound and what is it used for?

Pelvic ultrasound is used to obtain real-time images of the pelvic organs. It helps identify structural abnormalities, inflammation, tumors, cysts, and conditions that affect fertility. It is also the study of choice in gynecological and urological emergencies due to its speed and safety.

Main uses:

  • Detection of ovarian cysts and tumors.

  • Evaluation of uterine fibroids.

  • Diagnosis of endometriosis.

  • Evaluation of endometrial thickening or irregularity.

  • Identification of ectopic pregnancies.

  • Study of the prostate and its volume in men.

  • Analysis of the urinary bladder and its emptying capacity.

Types of Pelvic Ultrasound

Depending on the clinical need, the study can be performed abdominally, transvaginally, or transrectally. Each modality offers specific advantages.

  • Transabdominal pelvic

    • Performed by placing the transducer on the lower abdomen, with a full bladder.

    • Useful for obtaining an overall view of the pelvis.

  • Transvaginal pelvic (women only)

    • A special probe is inserted into the vagina.

    • It allows high-resolution images of the uterus, endometrium and ovaries.

  • Pelvic transrectal (mainly men)

    • The transducer is inserted into the rectum.

    • Main method for evaluating the prostate and nearby structures.

When might a pelvic ultrasound be necessary?

  • Chronic or acute pelvic pain → Identify gynecological or urological origin.

  • Menstrual disorders → Evaluate endometrium, cysts or fibroids.

  • Fertility problems → Detection of conditions that affect ovulation or implantation.

  • Abnormal uterine bleeding → Rule out endometrial pathologies.

  • Recurrent urinary tract infections → Evaluate bladder and prostate.

  • Prostate enlargement (BPH) → In men, useful for monitoring prostate size.

  • Post-surgical follow-up → After pelvic or urological surgeries.

How to prepare for a pelvic ultrasound?

  • Preparation depends on the type of study:

  • Transabdominal: It is recommended to have a full bladder; drink 3 to 4 glasses of water one hour beforehand without urinating.

  • Transvaginal: no special preparation required.

  • Transrectal: An enema may be requested beforehand to empty the rectum.
