Pelvic ultrasound

A pelvic ultrasound scan (or a transvaginal ultrasound scan) is a relatively painless fertility test to test for female infertility - it enables your doctor to examine the structure of your internal organs and detect possible obstacles to getting pregnant.

This scan is a very useful way of checking for the presence of abnormalities such as polycystic ovaries syndrome (PCOS) since it enables your doctor to observe the development of the ovarian follicles during the first part of your menstrual cycle (the follicular phase). He or she will also be able to assess the thickness of the endometrium (lining of the uterus). In addition, the pelvic ultrasound procedure will allow your doctor to check for fibroids (benign tumours) or other morphological defects. However, a pelvis ultrasound scan will not be able to detect endometriosis or blockage of the Fallopian tubes.
