3D ultrasound plays an important role in fertility planning and investigating causes of infertility. It allows a detailed assessment of the uterus and ovaries, helping provide valuable information for your treating doctor.
Most fertility scans are performed vaginally to ensure the clearest and most accurate images. While this may feel slightly uncomfortable for some patients, it should not be painful.
During the scan, we assess the uterus, its lining, cavity shape, and the ovaries. This helps identify whether these structures are present, well-formed, and positioned as expected. It can also highlight variations in uterine shape or lining that may affect fertility or pregnancy outcomes.
A 3D ultrasound provides an added layer of detail compared to standard 2D imaging, helping detect uterine anomalies that may otherwise be missed.
We also perform a follicle count to help assess ovarian reserve, along with evaluating the position and appearance of the ovaries.
