What is a gynecological ultrasound
Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of internal organs. In gynecology, the method is used to assess the uterus, ovaries, cervix and fallopian tubes. The scan is non-invasive, painless and involves no ionizing radiation.
It is an important, informative examination for pregnancy planning, cycle monitoring and women’s health in general. Specialists recommend a preventive ultrasound at least once a year — especially for women of reproductive age and after menopause.
Types of gynecological ultrasound
The doctor chooses the scanning method depending on the purpose — both types are performed during one visit and require minimal preparation.
Transvaginal ultrasound
- How it works: the probe is inserted into the vagina
- What it gives: a more detailed image of the ovaries, uterus and cervix
- Preparation: the bladder should be empty before the scan
- Sensations: brief, mild discomfort is possible when the probe is inserted
Abdominal ultrasound
- How it works: the probe is placed on the lower abdomen
- What it gives: an overall assessment of the pelvic organs; the most common type
- Preparation: a full bladder — about 1 liter of water an hour before the visit
- Sensations: completely painless
There is also 3D/4D ultrasound — volumetric imaging used mostly in obstetrics, but also helpful for examining the pelvic organs. The right method for you will be determined by a gynecologist during a consultation.
When a gynecological ultrasound is needed
A pelvic ultrasound is performed both preventively and in response to symptoms — for example, lower abdominal pain or fertility problems.
- Assessing the structure of the reproductive organs
- Detecting cysts, tumors and fibroids at an early stage
- Monitoring the ovulatory cycle — during fertility treatment and hormone therapy
- Evaluating the endometrium — especially in case of abnormal bleeding
- Pregnancy monitoring
- Diagnosing the cause of pain in the lower abdomen
A preventive ultrasound is recommended at least once a year — especially for women of reproductive age and after menopause.
How to prepare for the scan
Preparation depends on the type of scan and takes minimal effort:
Drink about 1 liter of water an hour before the scan — it improves image quality.
Empty your bladder right before the scan.
Choose clothes that give easy access to the abdomen or pelvic area.
Observe your usual intimate hygiene before a transvaginal scan.
How the scan works
The scan takes just a few minutes and is usually completely painless — only mild, brief discomfort is possible.
Can be repeated without limits
“Ultrasound involves no ionizing radiation — the scan can be repeated, including during pregnancy.”
Ultrasound is completely safe for the patient and the fetus: it carries no radiation load and can be performed as many times as monitoring requires — for pregnancy planning, cycle control or follow-up of detected changes.
That is why ultrasound remains the cornerstone of gynecological diagnostics: it combines informativeness, speed and complete safety, while modern equipment ensures highly accurate imaging.
Bottom line: a gynecological ultrasound is a quick, painless and safe way to get a complete picture of your health. A preventive scan once a year helps detect changes at an early stage, when they respond best to treatment.
Private clinic or NFZ
At a private clinic, a gynecological ultrasound is performed without a doctor’s referral. The scan is carried out by experienced gynecologists on modern equipment, and the results are discussed right at the visit. Current prices are listed in the clinic’s price list.

At public facilities, the scan is covered by the National Health Fund (NFZ) — but this usually requires a doctor’s referral.
NFZ appointments usually involve waiting in a queue.
