This guide is designed to help you understand the different types of ultrasound services we offer, whether you’re pregnant or simply seeking to monitor your reproductive health.
Ultrasounds for a Healthy Pregnancy
Ultrasounds are a cornerstone of prenatal care, offering a window into your baby’s world. They use sound waves to create images, and because they don’t use radiation, they are a safe and non-invasive way to track your baby’s growth and well-being.
- Early Pregnancy Ultrasound (1–10 weeks): This scan is performed in the first trimester to confirm your pregnancy, determine the number of fetuses, and confirm the baby’s heartbeat. It’s often one of the first exciting steps in your pregnancy journey.
- First-Trimester Ultrasound (11–13 weeks): This detailed scan helps to confirm the gestational age and is part of a comprehensive screening for certain chromosomal conditions.
- Detailed Ultrasound Scan (21–26 weeks): Also known as an anatomy scan, this is a crucial examination. During this appointment, our specialists perform a thorough review of your baby’s anatomy from head to toe, checking on the development of all major organs and body parts. This scan is vital for ensuring everything is progressing as it should.
- 4D Ultrasound (21–32 Weeks): For a more personal and interactive experience, our 4D ultrasound provides a live, three-dimensional video of your baby, allowing you to see their facial features and movements in real-time. This is often a memorable opportunity for parents to bond with their baby before birth.
Gynecological and Fertility Ultrasounds
Ultrasound technology is not limited to pregnancy; it’s also an essential diagnostic tool for various gynecological and fertility-related concerns.
- Abdominal Ultrasound (Non-Pregnancy): This type of ultrasound is used to examine your uterus, ovaries, and other pelvic organs. It helps in diagnosing conditions such as fibroids, cysts, or other abnormalities without the need for an internal exam.
- Internal Vaginal Ultrasound: This is a highly effective way to get a clear and detailed view of the pelvic organs. The probe is placed inside the vagina for closer imaging, which is particularly useful for diagnosing conditions that may not be as visible with an abdominal ultrasound.
- Ovulation Monitoring: If you’re trying to conceive, an ultrasound can be used to track the growth of ovarian follicles and pinpoint the exact time of ovulation. This service can significantly increase your chances of getting pregnant naturally or as part of a fertility treatment plan.
- Ultrasound without Consultation: We also offer ultrasounds on a standalone basis for those who have a referral from another doctor or simply need a specific scan without a full consultation.
