Why an Internal Scan?
Some structures are simply too small, or too deep, to see clearly from outside the body. A transvaginal or transrectal probe sits much closer to the organ being examined, giving a sharper, more detailed image than a standard abdominal or pelvic ultrasound can provide.
Transvaginal Ultrasound
A small probe is gently inserted into the vagina to closely examine the uterus, ovaries and surrounding pelvic structures. It's commonly used to confirm early pregnancy, investigate ovarian cysts or fibroids, assess endometrial thickness, and evaluate unexplained pelvic pain or abnormal bleeding.
Transrectal Ultrasound
A probe is gently inserted into the rectum to closely assess the prostate gland — useful for investigating prostate enlargement, elevated PSA levels, or other prostate concerns.
What to Expect
Both procedures are conducted in a private, comfortable room, and our team will explain each step clearly before beginning. While the idea of an internal scan can feel daunting, the probe is slim and the scan itself is brief — most patients describe mild pressure rather than pain.

Frequently asked questions.
Most patients feel mild pressure rather than pain. Our team talks you through every step and will stop if you're uncomfortable.
Yes — because the probe sits closer to the uterus, a transvaginal scan can often detect a very early pregnancy before it would be visible abdominally.
A transrectal ultrasound gives a much more detailed view of the prostate gland than can be assessed externally, which helps with accurate diagnosis.
