Fertility Assessment Scan – £145
Why Choose This Scan?: The Fertility Assessment Scan at UKSONO Healthcare is designed for individuals or couples seeking to understand their reproductive health and fertility potential. Whether you’re considering starting a family or having trouble conceiving, this scan provides valuable insights into the health of your ovaries, uterine structure, and follicle count. It can help identify any underlying issues that might be affecting your fertility, enabling you to make informed decisions about your next steps.
What Does This Scan Evaluate?:
- Ovarian Health: The scan evaluates the ovaries to check for any cysts, fibroids, or other abnormalities that could impact ovulation or fertility.
- Follicle Count: By assessing the number of follicles present in each ovary, the scan provides an indication of your ovarian reserve (the number of eggs available for fertilization), which is an important factor in fertility.
- Uterine Structure: The scan looks at the shape and health of the uterus, checking for any structural issues like fibroids, polyps, or endometrial abnormalities that could interfere with implantation or pregnancy.
What to Expect During the Scan?: The Fertility Assessment Scan is a quick and non-invasive procedure that lasts around 10-15 minutes. Here’s what you can expect:
- Transabdominal Scan: A transabdominal ultrasound may be used if your bladder is full. A small amount of gel is applied to your abdomen, and the ultrasound probe is moved gently over the area to capture images of your ovaries and uterus.
- Transvaginal Scan: If needed, a transvaginal ultrasound will be used for a more detailed view. This involves gently inserting a small ultrasound probe into the vagina to get clearer images of the ovaries and uterine lining. Written consent will be obtained before performing this scan.
How to Prepare for the Scan:
- Full Bladder: For the transabdominal scan, a full bladder is required to help improve the clarity of the images. Be sure to drink plenty of water before your appointment.
- No Special Fasting Needed: There is no need to fast for this scan, so you can continue with your regular eating routine.
