Gynaecological Scans

This scan is performed by either an Ultrasonographer or Medical Consultant and is available to patients with, or without medical insurance. Baby Premier is affiliated with Consultant Obstetric and Gynaecological practices offering advice, follow up and referral when needed. Our clinics are accredited by BUPA, AXA PPP and other private medical insurers.

Initially you will be asked to give a brief outline of your problem, the day of your last period (if relevant) and whether you have had any significant gynaecological or other medical problems in the past.

Most scans are performed vaginally - in other words it is an internal examination. If a
vaginal scan is inappropriate or not possible then a scan can be carried out abdominally. An abdominal scan requires a full bladder and we generally advise that you drink 1 to 2 litres of fluid about 90 minutes before the scan. The images obtained by the abdominal scan are not as good as those from an internal scan, so we prefer to carry out an internal scan if possible. In many cases if other tests such as a cervical smear are required they can be performed as part of the same examination.

See Ultrasound description and prices page for full details of all our scans.
