Our gynaecology ultrasound scans provide detailed imaging of the uterus, ovaries and pelvic structures, offering vital diagnostic insights for women at all life stages. Performed by specialist sonographers, these scans help identify conditions like fibroids, endometriosis and ovarian cysts while evaluating contraceptive device placement.
If you experience symptoms like pelvic pain, irregular/heavy bleeding or post-menopausal bleeding.
If you have a diagnosed condition requiring monitoring (e.g., endometriosis, known fibroids).
Suitable for individuals aged over 18 years up to those who are post-menopausal (refer to post-menopausal scan).
During the scan, the sonographer will examine the uterus, ovaries, endometrium, and surrounding pelvic area. This is performed by transabdominal scanning (over the lower abdomen) and transvaginal scanning (inserting an ultrasound probe into the vagina). The scan is used to detect gynaecological issues such as fibroids, polyps, and ovarian cysts. It can also be used to assess the position of an intrauterine contraceptive device (coil).
Common reasons for a gynaecology scan include pelvic pain, metrorrhagia (irregular periods), amenorrhea (absence of periods), and menorrhagia (heavy menstrual bleeding).
Suitable for individuals whose periods have ceased for more than 12 months or those over the age of 50 who have had a hysterectomy.
During the scan, the sonographer will examine the uterus, ovaries, endometrium, and surrounding pelvic area.

The scan is used to detect gynaecological issues such as fibroids, polyps, and ovarian cysts. It can also be used to assess the position of an intrauterine contraceptive device (coil).
Common reasons for a post-menopausal gynaecology scan include post-menopausal bleeding, pelvic pain, bloating, and increased urgency to urinate.
Suitable for individuals over 18 years of age who are concerned about endometriosis or have confirmed endometriosis.
Recent advancements have demonstrated that ultrasound can detect moderate to severe endometriosis. This diagnosis can be made via transabdominal scanning, which involves scanning the lower abdomen, and transvaginal scanning, which entails inserting an ultrasound probe into the vagina. The sonographic techniques employed evaluate the pelvis for indications of adhesions, endometriomas (cysts), and deep infiltrating endometriosis by assessing the three compartments of the pelvis.
Our private ultrasound scan service in Stockton-on-Tees offers fast-access diagnostic imaging for patients who need answers quickly. Self-pay and insured patients are welcome, with no GP referral required.
If you have unexplained pain or swelling. Ultrasound can help identify the cause of abdominal, pelvic, or soft tissue symptoms.
If you need monitoring. Ultrasound is ideal for tracking known conditions, pregnancy progress, or post-treatment recovery.
If your GP has recommended imaging. We can provide faster access than NHS radiology departments.
Early detection through ultrasound can identify conditions before they become serious. Regular screening may be recommended if you have a family history of certain conditions, are being monitored for an existing health concern, or are experiencing new symptoms that need investigation. Catching issues early often leads to simpler, less invasive treatment options.
