Concierge gynaecological imaging · London
Private pelvic ultrasound in London, reported by a gynaecological radiologist.
A proper pelvic scan by a gynae-trained radiologist — with the option of advanced deep-endometriosis assessment when symptoms suggest it, and a chaperone as standard.
Why patients choose us
- 01
A gynae-trained radiologist
We route you to a consultant gynaecological radiologist — the person who scans you is the person who reports it.
- 02
Chaperone as standard
A chaperone is offered for every transvaginal scan, and a female sonographer can be requested at booking.
- 03
Independent, and free
We are paid by no clinic, so the recommendation is impartial and costs you nothing.
Indicative pricing
What a private pelvic ultrasound costs in London.
Indicative ranges across our partner clinics. Send the details and we quote firm figures across two or three options.
In short
A pelvic scan in our network: £250–£700, reported by a gynaecological radiologist.

Prices vary by clinic, the routes used (transabdominal, transvaginal or both), and whether an advanced endometriosis protocol or saline infusion is added. We come back with a firm quote within one working day.
The problem
A pelvic scan is only as good as the person doing it.
Gynaecological ultrasound is intensely operator-dependent — early endometriosis, small polyps and IOTA-classified ovarian lesions are missed on generic scans. We route you to a gynae-trained radiologist, not a general sonographer.
-
Not sure which route?
Tell us your symptoms and cycle timing, and we match the right route — transabdominal, transvaginal, or both.
-
Endometriosis suspected?
We add the 45–60 minute advanced deep-endometriosis protocol when the history warrants it.
-
Want a female sonographer?
Say so at booking — we arrange it in advance rather than switching you on the day.

- 01
Before
You tell us what is going on
A short, confidential form. Symptoms, cycle timing, last menstrual period, referral or insurer if you have them.
- 02
Before
We come back with a recommendation
Within one working day: which route (transabdominal, transvaginal or both), which clinic, and whether an advanced endometriosis scan is worth adding.
- 03
Before
We arrange the appointment
Often same or next day, including evenings and Saturdays. Chaperone and female sonographer requests handled in advance.
- 04
On the day
Arrival and preparation
For transabdominal you arrive with a full bladder; for transvaginal the bladder should be empty. We confirm the exact instructions when we book.
- 05
On the day
The scan itself
20–45 minutes depending on the route. A chaperone is offered for the internal scan, and you can pause or stop at any time.
- 06
On the day
Straight home
No recovery time. Drive, eat and work as normal.
- 07
After
Report and next steps
A written gynaecology-radiology report usually within 48 hours, routed to your GP, gynaecologist or fertility team.
Typical end-to-end: 3–7 days. Urgent cases: same day.
What it shows
Find the scan that matches the symptom.
Pelvic ultrasound answers most gynaecological questions quickly and safely. These are the ones we arrange most.
-
Fibroids
Size, number and position — the key drivers of heavy bleeding and pressure symptoms.
-
Ovarian pathology
Follicles, PCOS morphology, dermoids and other adnexal lesions, classified against IOTA rules.
-
Pelvic cyst
Simple vs complex, size and change over time — most simple cysts resolve on their own.
-
Endometriosis (deep)
Advanced protocol looks for pouch-of-Douglas obliteration, bowel and bladder nodules and adhesions.
-
Abnormal uterine bleeding
Endometrial thickness, polyps and submucosal fibroids — often followed by saline infusion.
-
Pelvic pain
Structured assessment of uterus, ovaries and pouch — with soft markers for endometriosis and adhesions.
-
Fertility work-up
Antral follicle count, uterine cavity, tubal patency prompts and follicle tracking through a cycle.
-
Red flag: severe pelvic pain + fever
Do not wait for an outpatient scan — this needs a same-day GP or urgent gynaecology assessment.
Pelvic scan types
Not all pelvic ultrasound scans are the same.
What each option on your referral is actually for.
-
Transabdominal
A probe on the lower abdomen with a full bladder — the standard overview of the uterus and ovaries.
-
Transvaginal
A slim internal probe with an empty bladder — the sharpest view of the endometrium and ovaries.
-
Combined
Trans-abdominal for context, trans-vaginal for detail — the fullest gynaecological assessment.
-
Deep-endometriosis ultrasound
A 45–60 minute protocol looking for pouch-of-Douglas obliteration, bowel and bladder nodules and adhesions.
-
Saline infusion sonohysterography
A small amount of saline outlines the uterine cavity — the best test for polyps and submucosal fibroids.
-
Follicle tracking
Serial scans across a cycle to monitor follicle growth and endometrial thickness for fertility care.
-
Post-menopausal bleeding pathway
Prompt endometrial thickness measurement, with a clear onward route if further investigation is needed.
-
Recurrent miscarriage work-up
Detailed uterine and cavity assessment as part of the recurrent-miscarriage pathway.
Our vetted London network
A small panel of clinics, we picked them.
Partners across central, north, west and south London. Not listed publicly — introductions are made privately, once we understand your case.
Selection criteria
How we choose every clinic in our network.
-
Consultant gynaecological radiologists — advanced-endometriosis training preferred
-
Chaperone standard for every transvaginal scan
-
Female sonographers available on request
-
Onward MDT pathway if further investigation is needed
Safety and eligibility
One of the safest tests in medicine — with a few things worth knowing.
Pelvic ultrasound is exceptionally safe. The practical points are bladder preparation, consent for the internal scan, and knowing when a normal scan does not close the question.
-
Bladder preparation
Transvaginal scans do not require an empty or full bladder — transabdominal does need a full bladder.
-
A chaperone is standard
A chaperone is offered for every transvaginal scan, and you can bring your own companion into the room.
-
You can stop at any time
Consent is ongoing — you can pause or stop the scan whenever you want, without explanation.
-
Female sonographer on request
A female sonographer or radiologist can be requested at the time of booking.
-
Post-menopausal bleeding
Post-menopausal bleeding is always investigated — never assume a scan alone rules it out.
-
Early endometriosis
A normal scan does not rule out early endometriosis; if symptoms continue, an MRI or laparoscopy may be needed.
-
Ovarian cysts
Most simple ovarian cysts resolve on their own — many are watched rather than removed.
-
Read with symptoms and hormones
Ultrasound findings are interpreted alongside your symptoms and hormone results, not in isolation.
-
Pregnancy
Pregnancy scans have their own pathway — tell us at booking so we route you correctly.
Reading your report
A pelvic ultrasound report can look intimidating. It isn’t.
Every gynaecology-radiology report keeps to the same four parts.
A quiet reminder
The report is written for your doctor, not for you — and that is normal.
If you would like us to talk you through it before your follow-up, just ask.
- 01 Header
Indication and last menstrual period
Your details, the reason for the scan and the date of your last menstrual period.
- 02 Technique
Routes used
Which routes were used — transabdominal, transvaginal, or both — and any additional Doppler.
- 03 Findings
Uterus, endometrium, ovaries, fluid
Structured description of the uterus, endometrium, both ovaries and any free pelvic fluid, with measurements.
- 04 Impression
Read this first
A concise summary — normal, fibroid, cyst, endometriosis — and the recommended next steps.
Recognised by major UK insurers
Cover depends on your policy and clinic; we confirm with your insurer before booking.
Frequently asked
Everything we get asked about pelvic ultrasound.
Quick answers on routes, bladder prep, chaperones, cost, referrals and results.
-
Transabdominal or transvaginal — what’s the difference?
Transabdominal scans across your lower abdomen with a full bladder and gives an overview. Transvaginal uses a slim internal probe with an empty bladder and gives a much sharper view of the uterus and ovaries. Many appointments use both.
-
Do I need a full or empty bladder?
A full bladder for a transabdominal pelvic scan (around a litre of water an hour beforehand), and an empty bladder for a transvaginal scan. If you are having both, you will empty the bladder between the two parts. We send exact instructions when we book.
-
Will I have a chaperone?
Yes — a chaperone is standard for every transvaginal scan. You can also bring your own companion into the room, and you can decline or stop the internal scan at any time.
-
Can I request a female sonographer?
Yes. Tell us at the time of booking and we will arrange it. If a female sonographer is not available on the day you need, we will offer another date rather than switch you.
-
How much does a private pelvic ultrasound cost in London?
A transabdominal pelvic scan is typically £250–£450, transvaginal £300–£550 and combined £400–£700. A dedicated advanced deep-endometriosis ultrasound is £500–£1,100. We confirm firm figures within one working day.
-
Do I need a referral?
Most pelvic ultrasound scans accept self-referral. Advanced endometriosis scans, saline infusion sonohysterography and follicle-tracking usually need a referral, which we can arrange via a fast-track private GP or gynaecologist.
-
I have post-menopausal bleeding — can I book online?
Please tell us before booking. Post-menopausal bleeding is always investigated and often needs a same-visit transvaginal scan and an onward gynaecology review, which we will arrange together.
-
Do I need this for fertility work-up?
A baseline pelvic ultrasound and antral follicle count is a standard part of a fertility work-up, and follicle tracking through a cycle is often added. We match you to a clinic with a fertility ultrasound service.
-
How quickly do I get the results?
Findings can usually be discussed at the end of the scan, with the written gynaecology-radiology report within 48 hours. Urgent findings are shared with your GP the same day.
-
When should I see a GP urgently instead of booking a scan?
Severe pelvic pain with fever, heavy bleeding with dizziness, or any bleeding in pregnancy needs a same-day GP or A&E — not an outpatient scan.
