Abdomen, Pelvic, and Urinary Tract Scan – £300
What Is This Scan For?: The Abdomen, Pelvic, and Urinary Tract Scan at UKSONO Healthcare offers a detailed, all-in-one evaluation of your abdominal organs, pelvic region, and urinary tract. This scan is ideal for those seeking a thorough check-up for conditions like abdominal pain, urinary issues, or pelvic discomfort, helping to identify any underlying health concerns. It’s also a valuable screening tool for individuals who want to monitor their health and catch potential issues early.
What Does This Scan Check?:
- Abdominal Organs: The scan looks for abnormalities in your liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, and kidneys. This includes detecting conditions such as fatty liver, kidney stones, cysts, or tumors.
- Pelvic Region (Uterus & Ovaries): We assess the uterus for conditions like fibroids, polyps, or other abnormalities. The ovaries are also examined for cysts, tumors, or other potential issues.
- Urinary Tract: The scan checks the bladder and kidneys for signs of infection, stones, blockages, or any other structural issues. This part of the scan helps detect conditions like urinary retention or kidney disease.
What To Expect During the Scan: The Abdomen, Pelvic, and Urinary Tract Scan is a comprehensive and non-invasive procedure that typically lasts 20-30 minutes. Here’s what you can expect:
- Transabdominal Scan: To start, we will perform the transabdominal scan, where a small amount of gel will be applied to your abdomen, and the ultrasound probe will be gently moved over your skin to capture clear images of your internal organs.
- Transvaginal Scan (If Needed): If a more detailed pelvic assessment is needed, particularly for the uterus and ovaries, we may conduct a transvaginal scan. This involves gently inserting a small ultrasound probe into the vagina for a closer and more detailed view. Written consent will be requested beforehand to ensure your comfort and understanding.
Preparation Required: To ensure optimal imaging and the best possible results:
- Fasting: We recommend fasting for 6-8 hours prior to your scan, especially for the abdominal part of the scan, to improve the visibility of your organs.
- Full Bladder: For the transabdominal scan, you will need to arrive with a full bladder to help provide clearer images of the pelvic organs and bladder. You will be given specific instructions on how to prepare.
