Endometriosis Diagnosis Using Ultrasound

Endometriosis is a medical condition where tissue similar to the lining inside the uterus, called the endometrium, grows outside the uterus. This can lead to pain, inflammation, and the formation of scar tissue.
Around 10% of women have this condition, which is most common in women in their thirties or forties. But teenagers and young ladies can have it too.

Symptoms often include pelvic pain, painful periods, and fertility issues. Endometriosis can be managed through various treatments, including medication, surgery, or other interventions, depending on the severity and individual circumstances. Even though medications available that can alleviate your symptoms, it is a chronic illness that can significantly affect the quality of your life.

Our high-frequency ultrasound scans can assess the extent of any endometriosis inside your belly especially, deeply infiltrating endometriosis. To enhance visualisation, a transvaginal scan might be necessary. While this may be uncomfortable, it is generally not painful. Please feel free to communicate if you find any part of the procedure unpleasant and want us to stop.

Deeply infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) refers to a severe form of endometriosis where endometrial-like tissue grows beyond the lining of the uterus and invades nearby structures. It can affect various pelvic organs, such as the ovaries, bladder, and the bowel.

After we confirm your endometriosis diagnosis, please consult a reproductive Medicine specialist for a more personalised support.

In Case You Still Have Questions

Do I need a GP/health care provider referral?

No. However, we recommend scan results to be shared with your GP/health care providers.

What is the referral process like?

We recommend that every one of our clients let their doctor or other healthcare provider know that they plan to get scanned by us. When you first arrive to Ultrasound Digital, you will be asked to fill out a registration form with information about your physician or healthcare provider.

Can I eat and drink before my scan?

You are not prohibited from consuming any food or liquids before to your ultrasound.

Is it necessary to do an internal scan every time?

No, every scan depends on the inspection of each individual. But, before moving on with the internal examination and getting your permission, the sonographer will discuss with you the possibility of an internal investigation, which may give better imaging.

What do I need to wear for the scan?

We suggest dressing in breezy, flowy clothing. If not, you might have to put on a robe if needed.

What do I need to bring anything to my ultrasound scan?

Please bring along your hospital notes (if you have been given them) and reports to assist out Sonographers if a referral is required.

Will you advise me of any abnormalities?

Note that none of your NHS scans are replaced by our scans. Should a medical referral be necessary during your visit, we will address this with you and give you a comprehensive report to give to your physician.

Do I still need to visit the NHS if I had a scan with you?

Yes, our services are a complementary service, which works alongside the NHS.

Can I make a claim for my scans using my medical insurance?

After you pay Ultrasound Digital directly for your scan, we will send you an invoice. This is a private matter between you and your insurance provider, but it can be utilized to file a claim. Please verify this before your scan to avoid disappointment.
