TVS Ultrasound — About the Test

A TVS Ultrasound (Transvaginal Scan) is a high-resolution pelvic imaging scan in which a slim, smooth ultrasound probe is gently inserted into the vagina — bringing the transducer much closer to the uterus and ovaries than a transabdominal scan allows. This proximity produces significantly sharper, more detailed images of the endometrium, uterine wall, and ovaries. TVS is the gold standard for gynaecological imaging — providing far clearer visualisation of the uterine lining, ovarian follicles, and small pelvic structures compared to a standard transabdominal pelvic scan. When is a TVS recommended over a standard pelvic scan? * Evaluation of early pregnancy (5–10 weeks) — more accurate heartbeat detection and measurement * Endometrial thickness assessment — for abnormal uterine bleeding, post-menopausal bleeding * Ovarian follicle monitoring — fertility treatment and IVF cycles * Small fibroid or polyp detection — particularly submucosal fibroids * Suspected ectopic pregnancy — critical for early detection * Better ovarian imaging — particularly in women with high BMI or deep ovaries No radiation. Performed with full patient consent. An empty bladder is required — please urinate before arriving for the scan.

What Happens During a TVS Ultrasound? (15–20 Minutes)

Key benefits of this package include:

Step 1 — Preparation: Urinate before the scan — an empty bladder is required for TVS, as a full bladder pushes organs further away and reduces image quality. No fasting required.
Step 2 — Consent and privacy: The sonologist will explain the procedure before beginning. The scan is performed only with your explicit consent. A female sonologist or a female chaperone will always be present.
Step 3 — Positioning: You will lie on the scanning table with your knees slightly bent and apart (lithotomy-like position). A sheet is placed over you for privacy and comfort.
Step 4 — The scan: The transvaginal probe — slim, smooth, and covered with a sterile disposable sheath with gel — is gently inserted into the vaginal canal. The sonologist rotates the probe to visualise the uterus from multiple angles, then each ovary. The procedure is painless for most women. If you experience any discomfort, inform the sonologist immediately.
Step 5 — Done: 15–20 minutes. Images and report ready within 4 hours.

What a TVS Ultrasound Can Detect

Uterus and Endometrium

Endometrial thickness — thin in menopause (should be <4 mm); thickened endometrium may indicate polyps, hyperplasia, or malignancy

Endometrial polyps — small mucosal growths causing irregular bleeding

Submucosal fibroids — fibroids within the uterine cavity (causing heavy periods)

Intramural and subserosal fibroids — fibroids within or on the uterine wall

Adenomyosis — endometrial tissue within the uterine muscle; "globular uterus" on TVS

Uterine anomalies — septate, bicornuate uterus (causes of recurrent miscarriage)

Retained products of conception — post-miscarriage or post-delivery remnants

Ovaries and Adnexa

Ovarian follicle monitoring — dominant follicle size for IVF and fertility treatment tracking

Polycystic ovaries (PCOS) — multiple small follicles in a "string of pearls" pattern

Ovarian cysts — simple, complex, endometrioma (chocolate cysts)

Ovarian tumours — solid or complex masses requiring further evaluation

Ovarian torsion — enlarged ovary with abnormal Doppler flow (emergency)

Ectopic pregnancy — gestational sac in fallopian tube (obstetric emergency)

Early Pregnancy Assessment

Intrauterine sac and heartbeat from 5–6 weeks — earlier than transabdominal

CRL measurement — precise gestational age dating

Ectopic pregnancy detection — fallopian tube sac, absent intrauterine pregnancy

FAQs

TVS provides high-resolution imaging of the uterus, endometrium, and ovaries. It is used for abnormal uterine bleeding, fibroids, ovarian cysts, PCOS, fertility monitoring, ectopic pregnancy detection, and early pregnancy assessment.

For most women, it is not painful — slightly uncomfortable at most. The probe is slim and gently inserted. If you have significant vaginal pain or a medical condition that makes internal examination difficult, inform your doctor before booking.

No — the opposite. An empty bladder is required for TVS. Please urinate before arriving for your scan. This is different from a standard transabdominal pelvic scan.

Yes. TVS is routinely and safely used in early pregnancy. The probe does not touch the uterus or baby — it rests in the vaginal canal. There is no risk of miscarriage from a TVS.

A pelvic ultrasound is performed with the probe on the skin surface (transabdominal). TVS uses an internal probe, bringing it much closer to pelvic organs — resulting in significantly sharper images of the endometrium, ovarian follicles, and small structures. TVS is the preferred scan for gynaecological evaluation.
