Pricing:

Why Choose This Scan?: If you suspect a hernia or have noticed a bulge or pain in your abdomen or groin, a Hernia Scan at UKSONO Healthcare is the best way to get clarity. Hernias are common conditions, and early detection is essential for preventing complications and deciding on the appropriate course of treatment. Our non-invasive ultrasound scan offers a clear and accurate assessment of the hernia’s size and location, giving you peace of mind and helping your healthcare provider make informed decisions.
What Does This Scan Assess?:
- Hernia Size and Location: The scan provides detailed images to assess the size, location, and type of the hernia, whether it’s in the inguinal (groin), umbilical (navel), or other regions of the abdomen.
- Identify Risk Factors: By examining the area closely, the scan can also highlight any other potential areas of concern, such as weakness in the abdominal wall, which could predispose you to further hernias.
What to Expect During the Scan?: The Hernia Scan is a quick, comfortable, and non-invasive procedure, typically lasting between 10-15 minutes. Here’s what you can expect:
- Gentle Ultrasound: The scan is performed using an ultrasound, where a small amount of gel is applied to the area. The ultrasound probe is then moved over the skin with gentle pressure applied to the abdominal wall to capture detailed images of the hernia.
- Painless and Comfortable: This procedure does not involve any needles, injections, or incisions, and it is completely painless. If you have a herniated area, the sonographer may apply gentle pressure to help visualize the hernia more clearly.
How to Prepare for the Scan:
- No Special Preparation Needed: No fasting or special instructions are required before your Hernia Scan. Just arrive at your appointment as you are.
