Pelvic ultrasound

A pelvic ultrasound is an imaging test that examines the uterus, ovaries and surrounding pelvic structures. It can be performed abdominally, with a full bladder, or internally as a transvaginal scan, which usually gives more detail for fertility assessment. It is commonly used to look for fibroids, ovarian cysts, endometriomas, structural uterine abnormalities and to assess endometrial thickness, and forms a routine part of the initial fertility work-up in India as recommended by ICMR standard treatment workflows.
