True or False? Ultrasound can detect inflammation.

➤ TRUE – Ultrasound is a powerful tool for identifying signs of inflammation, including swelling, fluid build-up, and changes in blood flow.

It’s often used to investigate pain, tenderness, or unexplained swelling in areas like the abdomen, testicles, or joints. While it won’t provide a full diagnosis on its own, it can offer important clues and help guide next steps in your care.

Can Endometriosis Be Detected on Ultrasound?

Ultrasound scans can sometimes detect signs of endometriosis, particularly when it affects the ovaries or has caused larger areas of scarring or cysts. However, ultrasound cannot identify small, surface-level lesions, which are the most common type of endometriosis.

🔍 What an Ultrasound May Show:
✔️ Endometriomas (cysts formed by endometrial tissue), most often on the ovaries.
✔️ Deeply infiltrating endometriosis (DIE), where endometrial tissue has grown deeper into structures like the bladder or bowel.

⚠️ What Ultrasound Can’t Detect:
❌ Small, superficial endometriosis lesions on organ surfaces.
❌ Confirmation that any abnormal tissue seen is definitely endometriosis—only a laparoscopy (surgical procedure) can provide a definitive diagnosis.

📢 Important to Note:
An ultrasound can provide valuable information to your GP or specialist, helping to guide further investigations. If you suspect endometriosis, it's essential to speak with your GP, who can determine the best next steps. An initial scan with us may give the information needed for GP to initiate an appropriate onward specialist referral.

📅 If you've been advised to have an ultrasound, we offer flexible appointments, often with same-day or next-day availability. Our detailed reports will be sent to your GP for review.

Fasting before your upper abdominal scan isn’t just a tick-box exercise - it plays a vital role in how clearly your internal organs can be seen.

When you eat, gas and undigested food in the stomach and intestines can obscure the view of key structures like the liver, gallbladder, biliary tree, pancreas, and abdominal aorta. By fasting for 4–6 hours beforehand, we reduce this interference and allow the ultrasound to capture the clearest, most accurate images possible.

This scan is often used to investigate symptoms like:
✅ Persistent abdominal pain
✅ Bloating or fullness
✅ Changes in liver function tests
✅ Gallbladder or pancreatic concerns

You’ll be given full preparation instructions when you book your appointment, and a report will be provided on the day to share with your GP if needed.

Testicular pain doesn’t always mean there’s a lump - in fact, there are several possible causes, and not all of them are serious.

Pain or discomfort in the testicles might be due to inflammation (epididymitis), fluid build-up (hydrocele), infection, or even torsion (a twisting of the testicle that requires urgent treatment).

A testicular ultrasound is a safe, non-invasive way to assess what’s going on. It checks for blood flow, fluid, swelling, and soft tissue changes - giving valuable insight into what might be causing your symptoms.

If you’ve noticed a sharp pain, swelling, heaviness, or discomfort, don’t wait and wonder - booking a scan could help put your mind at ease.
📍 Reports are provided on the day and can be shared with your GP.

An endometrial thickness scan is a type of pelvic ultrasound that measures the lining of the womb (endometrium).

This scan can help explain symptoms such as:
• Irregular or heavy bleeding
• Postmenopausal bleeding
• Bleeding between periods

It’s also commonly used for monitoring during fertility treatment or hormone therapy (HRT).

The scan is quick, non-invasive, and provides valuable insight for you and your doctor.

This is one of the most common questions we get asked - and the good news is ultrasounds are completely painless!

Ultrasound scans use sound waves (not radiation!) to create images of your body. The most you might feel is a little pressure from the probe, especially if a full bladder is needed for the scan. For certain types, like internal (transvaginal) ultrasounds, you may experience mild discomfort, but they should never be painful.

✅ No needles, no radiation, no pain - just answers.

Still feeling unsure? Our team will guide you every step of the way, ensuring you feel comfortable and informed.
