What Is a Transabdominal Ultrasound Scan?

A transabdominal ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of organs and structures inside the pelvis.

The ultrasound probe is moved over the lower abdomen rather than inserted into the vagina.

The scan can provide information about the uterus, ovaries, endometrial lining and surrounding pelvic structures. Depending on why you have been referred for the scan, different areas may be examined more closely.

Because ultrasound does not use ionising radiation, it is commonly used during fertility investigations and pregnancy monitoring when clinically appropriate.

Transabdominal Ultrasound Scan for Different Purposes

At The Luna Clinic, we use transabdominal ultrasound scans to support fertility care, pregnancy monitoring and the investigation of different gynaecological concerns.

The purpose of your scan will depend on your symptoms, medical history and individual needs.

Fertility Assessment

A transabdominal ultrasound can help us assess your uterus, ovaries, and pelvic anatomy as part of a fertility test.

This can provide useful information when planning your next steps.

Fertility Treatment Monitoring

If you are having fertility treatment, ultrasound can help us monitor changes in the ovaries and uterus.

This allows your clinical team to assess your response to treatment and plan your care.

Uterus and Womb Assessment

We examine the size, position, and appearance of the uterus.

We also look for visible changes that could be relevant to your fertility or gynaecological health.

Ovarian Assessment

We examine the size and appearance of the ovaries during the scan.

We also look for any visible abnormalities that need further assessment.

Pelvic Pain Investigation

If you have pelvic or lower abdominal pain, we examine the pelvic area for possible structural causes.

This can help guide further investigation when needed.

Irregular or Heavy Periods

We assess the uterus, ovaries, and endometrial lining when you have heavy or irregular periods.

The findings can help identify possible causes.

Ovarian Cysts

We can identify visible ovarian cysts and assess their size, position, and appearance.

Your clinician will explain the findings and any recommended follow-up.

Uterine Fibroids

We can look for uterine fibroids, which are non-cancerous growths that can develop in or around the womb.

The scan may help assess their size and location.

Endometrial Lining Assessment

The endometrial lining can be assessed for its appearance and thickness.

This can be particularly useful during certain infertility assessments and gynaecological investigations.

Early Pregnancy Monitoring

We use ultrasound to assess the developing pregnancy and surrounding structures.

The type of scan depends on your stage of pregnancy and individual needs.

Other Gynaecological Concerns

A transabdominal ultrasound can help investigate gynaecological symptoms and concerns.

We assess the uterus, ovaries, and pelvic area based on your individual needs.

Further Testing and Treatment Planning

The findings from your ultrasound can help us decide whether further tests, specialist assessment, or treatment may be appropriate.

We will explain your results and discuss the next steps with you.

At The Luna Clinic, we provide clear instructions before your appointment so you know exactly what to do.

Drink water: You may need a full bladder for a clearer view of the pelvic organs.
Follow your clinic instructions: Preparation can vary depending on the reason for your scan.
Wear comfortable clothing: Choose clothing that allows easy access to your lower abdomen.
Arrive on time: This gives you enough time to get comfortable and complete any necessary paperwork.

If you have any questions about preparing for your scan, our team is happy to guide you before your appointment.Your clinician will explain the findings and advise whether you need any further tests or treatment.

Transabdominal Ultrasound Scan Process at Our Clinic in London

At The Luna Clinic, we keep your transabdominal ultrasound scan simple, comfortable and easy to understand. The process follows four straightforward steps.

Step 1: Consultation

We first discuss why you need the scan and ask about your symptoms, medical history or fertility needs.

This helps us understand what needs to be assessed during your ultrasound.

Step 2: Preparation

You lie comfortably on the examination bed with your lower abdomen accessible. We apply a small amount of ultrasound gel to your skin.

You can relax while our clinician prepares the ultrasound equipment.

Step 3: Ultrasound Scan

We gently move the ultrasound probe across your abdomen to capture images of the uterus, ovaries and pelvic area.

The scan is external and is generally quick and well tolerated.

Step 4: Results and Next Steps

After the scan, we explain the findings and answer any questions you have.

If further testing, treatment, or follow-up is appropriate, we explain the recommended next steps clearly.

How Long Does a Transabdominal Ultrasound Take?

The scan itself is usually relatively quick.

The exact appointment length can vary depending on the reason for the ultrasound, the areas being assessed, and whether additional discussion is required.

Your clinic can provide more information about the expected appointment time when you book.

Is a Transabdominal Ultrasound Painful?

A transabdominal ultrasound is generally well tolerated because the probe is placed on the outside of your abdomen.

You may feel some pressure as the probe is moved across the lower abdomen.

If you have pelvic or abdominal tenderness, certain areas may feel slightly uncomfortable, but you can tell your clinician if you experience discomfort.

Your results are considered alongside your symptoms, medical history, and the reason for your scan.

Your results can help us:

Assess the uterus and ovaries
Identify visible cysts or fibroids
Review the endometrial lining
Investigate possible causes of symptoms
Plan further tests or treatment when needed

An ultrasound finding does not always indicate a serious problem. Your clinician will explain what the results mean for you and discuss the most appropriate next steps.
