Dr. Mohamed Otify, a Consultant Gynaecologist and Gynaecological Oncologist, provides advanced ultrasound imaging to assess the uterus, ovaries, and pelvic structures, helping to screen for conditions such as fibroids and gynaecological cancer.
Whether you’re experiencing symptoms like pelvic discomfort or irregular bleeding, or simply seeking reassurance, you will receive a clear diagnosis, a calm experience, and results you can trust.
Understanding Pelvic Ultrasound
A pelvic or gynaecological ultrasound utilizes high-frequency sound waves to create detailed images of your internal organs — particularly the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. This non-invasive procedure is one of the safest and most effective methods to evaluate causes of pain, bloating, or fertility issues, and it involves no radiation or recovery time.
Preparing for Your Scan
Before the scan, you will be asked to remove some clothing and lie comfortably on the examination couch. Depending on the reason for your scan, you may be asked to arrive with a moderately full bladder if the uterus is being examined, as this helps provide a clearer view of the pelvic organs. For transvaginal scans, a full bladder is not required. Occasionally, fasting may be requested for specific abdominal assessments.
Dr. Otify and the team will explain exactly what to expect beforehand, and you’ll be able to empty your bladder immediately after the scan.
How the Scan Is Performed
Most pelvic ultrasounds take about 5–10 minutes. A small probe, covered with gel, is placed either on the abdomen or gently within the vagina (for a transvaginal scan) to obtain detailed views. The procedure is usually painless, though you may feel slight pressure for a few moments. Your comfort is always the priority, and the team will talk you through each step.
Safety and Accuracy
Ultrasound imaging is completely safe — it employs sound waves, not radiation, and has no known side effects. It is the same technology used for pregnancy scans and can be repeated as often as necessary, even in the context of minimal access surgery such as laparoscopy or robotic surgery when further intervention is needed.
When You’ll Get Your Results
In many cases, Dr. Otify can discuss your findings with you immediately after the scan. If a more detailed review is required, a specialist radiologist will analyze the images and issue a comprehensive report, usually within a few days. This report can also be shared with your GP or referring clinician to assist in treatment decisions, including hysterectomies if necessary.
