A high-resolution diagnostic exam of the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix, and bladder. Performed by ARDMS-certified sonographers and interpreted by board-certified radiologists — typically the same day.
A pelvic ultrasound is a fast, non-invasive, and highly accurate diagnostic exam that gives your physician (and you) a clear, real-time view of the reproductive and urinary organs in the pelvis. Doppler imaging is included when indicated to assess blood flow and detect vascular abnormalities.
Size, position, lining (endometrium), fibroids
Cysts, masses, follicle development
Obstructions, fluid, structural integrity
Length, structure, abnormalities
Wall thickness, retained urine, abnormalities
Vascular assessment of reproductive organs
A pelvic ultrasound can help identify or rule out:
Whether referred by your physician or scheduling on your own, these are the situations that most often lead to this exam.
Persistent or unexplained discomfort in the lower abdomen that warrants a clinical look at reproductive and urinary structures.
Heavy periods, bleeding between cycles, or postmenopausal bleeding that needs diagnostic evaluation.
Confirming intrauterine pregnancy, viability, gestational age, or assessing concerns in the first trimester.
Tracking known fibroids, ovarian cysts, or other findings over time to monitor changes in size or characteristics.
Health-conscious patients seeking baseline imaging or routine surveillance of reproductive organ health.
Symptoms such as urinary retention, recurrent infections, or suspected bladder wall abnormalities.
From check-in to walking out, here's what your appointment looks like at ProCare.
Arrive 15 minutes early. Streamlined intake — most patients are checked in within 5 minutes.
You'll be guided to a private exam room and positioned comfortably on a padded exam table.
Warm gel is applied. Your sonographer gently moves a handheld transducer across the lower abdomen. Painless throughout.
A board-certified radiologist reviews the images. Most reports are completed within 24–48 hours.
Preparation for a pelvic ultrasound is straightforward — but doing it right makes a meaningful difference in image quality. A full bladder is essential: it pushes the intestines out of the way, giving the sonographer a clearer view of your reproductive organs.
Follow these steps for the clearest possible images.
Sip slowly over 20–30 minutes. A full bladder is essential for image clarity.
Hold until after your exam — even if uncomfortable. Image clarity depends on it.
A two-piece outfit is ideal — easier to access the lower abdomen than a dress.
Do not skip any prescribed medications. Take with a small sip of water as usual.
Plus your physician's order if billing through insurance. Self-pay patients need only their ID.
No surprises, no hidden fees. Choose what works best for your situation.
We're in-network with most major insurance plans. Your out-of-pocket cost will depend on your plan's deductible, copay, and coverage.
