Pelvis Ultrasound – Safe & Accurate Evaluation
At Akshar Imaging Centre, we offer advanced Pelvis Ultrasound in Ahmedabad to evaluate the reproductive and urinary organs safely and accurately. This non-invasive and radiation-free test uses high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images of the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, prostate, urinary bladder, and nearby structures.
It helps doctors detect causes of pelvic pain, menstrual irregularities, infertility, infections, or urinary problems with precision.
What Is a Pelvis Ultrasound?
A Pelvis Ultrasound (Pelvic Sonography) captures detailed images of pelvic organs using sound waves. In women, it visualizes the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix, and bladder. In men, it examines the prostate gland, seminal vesicles, and bladder.
Methods:
- Transabdominal Ultrasound: Probe over lower abdomen.
- Transvaginal Ultrasound (females): Small probe inserted into the vagina for clearer images.
Why It’s Performed / Common Indications

- Detection of ovarian cysts, uterine fibroids, or pelvic masses
- Evaluation of infertility or recurrent miscarriage
- Monitoring early pregnancy and fetal development
- Detection of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)
- Urinary bladder or prostate evaluation
- Post-menopausal bleeding or abnormal discharge
- Assessment after gynecological surgery or pelvic trauma
