View Full Version : Pelvic and abdominal ultrasound
Hi
What can a pelvic and abdominal ultrasound show?
Can it show ovarian or uterine cancer?
I had one done as my periods have gone a bit weird and I feel like I need to wee all the time and nothing showed apart from gallstones.
Thank you

Not sure about uterine cancer, but the tests most often used for ovarian cancer are transvaginal ultrasound and the CA-125 blood test. Pretty sure a pelvic ultrasound would detect any growths or cysts though.
Hi
Thank you.
She did say my ovaries looked fine.
Is there much difference bewteen a pelvic one and a transvaginal scan?

I had both, when I complained of painful periods. I think the TVUS just offers a clearer view

Also, you have to do it with a full bladder. Maybe that's why they didn't do it
Hi
Ah, yes, that would explain it.
I had to drink so much water I thought I would explode!
