Has anyone been told by their Gynae Consultant they could not see your uterus or ovaries in a Transvaginal scan?

[Shelley31]

I am 45yrs old and I had 15months without a period then I had a period on 1st May then another 21st May then nothing since.

Was referred to gynae as my bloods showed my FSH as 20.9 so I am not menopausal... I'm inbetween so i guess I'm perimenopausal.

I have been experiencing lower abdominal pain and a pain in my hip and down into my left thigh.

I had a TV scan done 4 weeks ago and the Consultant said she couldnt see my uterus to measure my lining nor see my ovaries. She said she would re-do the scan in 4 weeks and I had to fast this time.

Was back today for my scam and still no luck. She said I am hard to scan! She said she can't see my uterus or ovaries so I am being booked in for a MRI.

Has anyone experienced this? Do you know why they wouldn't be fully visible on the TV?

Many thanks,

Shelley

Hi there,

Thank you for your message.

Usually uterus and ovaries are seen best on a transvaginal scan, but sometimes as everyone is different, the anatomy is better seen with a different imaging device ( like MRI for example).

It’s tricky to say at this point. If you'd like to speak to our gynae cancer nurse, please email [e-mail]

Best Wishes,

Good afternoon,

Thanks for your reply.

I had my MRI yesterday so I should hopefully get my results soon. I will wait and see how that goes.

Thanks again,

Shelley
