Can a Pelvic Ultrasound Help Detect Uterine Fibroids?

A pelvic ultrasound can help detect uterine fibroids and provide useful information about their size, number and location. Fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the uterus. While some women have no noticeable symptoms, others may experience heavy or prolonged periods, pelvic pain or pressure, lower abdominal swelling, frequent urination, constipation or fertility-related concerns.

During a pelvic ultrasound, sound waves are used to create images of the uterus and surrounding pelvic organs. Depending on the clinical need, a doctor may recommend a transabdominal or transvaginal ultrasound for a clearer assessment.

Ultrasound can help determine whether fibroids are present and where they are located within the uterus. This information may help doctors understand whether fibroids could be contributing to a patient's symptoms and decide if further evaluation or treatment is necessary.

Aarna Diagnostic Centre provides pelvic ultrasound imaging for the assessment of fibroids and other gynaecological conditions when clinically recommended.
