A transvaginal ultrasound gives your doctor a close, clear view of your uterus, ovaries and cervix — providing detail that a routine abdominal scan simply cannot match. At Mithr Women's Health, every TVS is performed with full privacy and directly interpreted by Dr Raman Shobana, so you leave with a clear understanding of your results on the same day. Whether you are in early pregnancy, being investigated for pelvic pain, irregular bleeding, or monitoring a fertility treatment cycle, a transvaginal scan at our Electronics City clinic gives you accurate answers without the wait.
- Early pregnancy confirmation and viability assessment
- Pelvic pain, fibroid and ovarian cyst evaluation

- Endometrial assessment and cervical length measurement
What is a Transvaginal Ultrasound?
A transvaginal ultrasound uses a slender, smooth probe inserted gently into the vagina to produce high-resolution images of the pelvic organs. Because the probe is placed closer to the uterus and ovaries than an abdominal probe, it provides significantly clearer imaging — particularly useful for early pregnancy assessment, endometrial evaluation, and ovarian cyst diagnosis. The procedure is performed with a sterile, single-use probe cover and takes between 10 and 20 minutes. Most women describe the sensation as mild pressure, not pain — similar to a routine gynaecological examination.
TVS is commonly advised to confirm the location and heartbeat of an early pregnancy, evaluate the cause of irregular or heavy periods, detect fibroids and assess their size and position, monitor follicle growth during infertility treatment, and check cervical length during mid-pregnancy. It is one of the most informative scans in women's healthcare, and at Mithr, findings are explained to you in plain language before you leave.

Frequently Asked Questions — Transvaginal Ultrasound
Is transvaginal ultrasound painful?
Most women feel mild pressure or minimal discomfort during a TVS — not pain. The probe is narrow and the procedure is performed gently with full privacy. If you feel any discomfort at any point, you can ask Dr Shobana to pause or stop. Women who have had routine pelvic examinations generally find TVS very well tolerated.
How do I prepare for a transvaginal ultrasound?
Unlike an abdominal pelvic scan, TVS does not require a full bladder — your bladder should ideally be empty before the procedure. There is no dietary preparation required. Wear comfortable, easy-to-adjust clothing, and bring any relevant earlier reports, prescriptions, or scan printouts to your appointment.
When is a transvaginal ultrasound recommended?
TVS is commonly recommended to confirm the location and viability of an early pregnancy, evaluate pelvic pain or pressure, investigate irregular or heavy menstrual bleeding, assess the uterine lining, diagnose fibroids or ovarian cysts, monitor follicle growth during infertility treatment cycles, and check cervical length during pregnancy.
How long does a transvaginal ultrasound take?
The scan itself typically takes 10 to 20 minutes. If combined with a consultation, allow additional time for Dr Shobana to review findings and discuss your care plan. For first-time patients or complex presentations, the overall visit may take 30 to 45 minutes.
Is transvaginal ultrasound safe during pregnancy?
Yes. TVS is safe at all stages of pregnancy and is commonly used in the first trimester to confirm viability, detect fetal heartbeat, and evaluate early pregnancy concerns. Ultrasound uses sound waves, not radiation, and has no known harmful effects on pregnancy.
What conditions can a transvaginal ultrasound detect?
TVS can identify intrauterine and ectopic pregnancy, uterine fibroids and their location, ovarian cysts and their characteristics (including PCOS morphology), endometrial thickening or polyps, follicle development during fertility cycles, cervical changes during pregnancy, and structural abnormalities of the uterus or ovaries.
