pelvic ultrasound
Internal organ scan
A pelvic ultrasound is a medical imaging procedure that uses sound waves to visualize organs in the pelvic region—the uterus, ovaries, bladder, and prostate.
The procedure may be performed externally through the abdomen or internally with a probe inserted into the vagina or rectum.
It's commonly used to monitor pregnancy, diagnose ovarian cysts, or evaluate unexplained pain.
