AI Overview Answer
Private ovarian screening ultrasound in London
Ovarian screening ultrasound is a focused pelvic scan that assesses both ovaries for size, morphology, cysts, complex cyst features, solid components and other appearances that may need follow-up. At London Private Ultrasound, the scan costs £219, can be booked without a GP referral, and is available at Central London/Harley Street and St Albans.
Ultrasound is useful for identifying ovarian cysts and suspicious features, but it does not by itself confirm or exclude ovarian cancer. When findings are concerning, your written report can support GP, gynaecology or urgent specialist referral. A CA 125 blood test may be considered where clinically appropriate.
Symptoms & Reasons to Book
When should you consider an ovarian screening scan?
Patients commonly book ovarian screening for reassurance, cyst follow-up, family-history concerns or symptoms that may need pelvic assessment.
Pelvic pain or one-sided pain
The scan can assess ovarian size, cysts and adnexal appearances that may explain pain or require further clinical review.
Known ovarian cyst follow-up
Ultrasound can monitor whether a cyst has resolved, remained stable or developed features that need follow-up or referral.
Family history or anxiety
Patients with family-history concerns often book for reassurance. Ultrasound may be combined with clinical review and blood markers where appropriate.
Fertility or cycle concerns
The scan can describe ovarian morphology, follicle pattern and features that may support discussion with your GP, gynaecologist or fertility clinic.
Post-menopause symptoms
New bloating, pelvic pain or bleeding after menopause should be assessed medically. Ultrasound findings can guide the next referral pathway.
Benefits & Possible Detections
What ovarian screening ultrasound may detect
The scan provides real-time imaging of ovarian and pelvic structures, helping separate reassuring appearances from findings that may need follow-up.
Simple ovarian cysts
Fluid-filled cysts are common and often benign; the report records their size, side and appearance.
Complex cysts
Septations, internal echoes, solid components or irregular features can be described clearly for follow-up planning.
Solid or indeterminate masses
Suspicious or unclear findings can be highlighted so that timely GP or gynaecology referral is possible.
PCOS-type ovarian morphology
The scan can describe follicle pattern and ovarian volume, which may contribute to a wider PCOS assessment.
Adnexal or pelvic abnormalities
Where visible, surrounding pelvic structures are reviewed for masses, fluid or other abnormalities.
Reassurance and baseline imaging
A normal scan can provide reassurance and a useful baseline for future comparison if symptoms persist.

Common Questions
Frequently asked questions
Can ultrasound screen for ovarian cancer?
Ovarian ultrasound can identify features that may be concerning, such as complex cysts, solid areas, irregular masses or fluid in the pelvis, but it cannot diagnose ovarian cancer on its own. If suspicious findings are seen, your report can support urgent GP, gynaecology or specialist referral.
What does an ovarian screening ultrasound show?
It assesses the size, shape and appearance of both ovaries, looks for cysts or masses, checks whether cysts are simple or complex, and reviews the surrounding pelvic structures where visible.
Who should consider booking ovarian screening?
You may consider booking if you have persistent bloating, pelvic pain, pressure symptoms, a known ovarian cyst, family history of ovarian cancer, fertility concerns, PCOS-type symptoms, or you simply want reassurance.
Should I add a CA 125 blood test?
CA 125 may be useful alongside ultrasound in some patients, particularly where there are symptoms, family history or suspicious ultrasound features. It is not a standalone screening test and should be interpreted with clinical context.
Can the scan detect ovarian cysts?
Yes. Ultrasound is commonly used to identify ovarian cysts and describe whether they appear simple, haemorrhagic, dermoid-like, endometrioma-like, complex or indeterminate.
What is a complex ovarian cyst?
A complex ovarian cyst has features beyond a simple fluid-filled cyst, such as septations, solid components, irregular walls or internal echoes. These features may require follow-up, blood tests or referral depending on the overall picture.
Do I need a GP referral?
No. You can self-refer and book directly online or by phone. Bring any previous ultrasound reports, blood tests or specialist letters if you have them.
Do I need a full bladder?
A comfortably full bladder can help the transabdominal part of the scan. If a transvaginal scan is performed, an empty bladder is usually preferred.
Is a transvaginal scan required?
A transvaginal scan often provides the clearest view of the ovaries and pelvic structures, but it is only performed with your consent. Your preferences will always be respected.
Can I request a female sonographer?
Yes. Female ultrasound clinicians are available on request at no extra cost. Please mention this when booking so the clinic can arrange the most suitable appointment.
How much does ovarian screening cost?
An ovarian screening ultrasound scan at London Private Ultrasound is £219, including the scan and written diagnostic report.
When will I receive my results?
Your ultrasound specialist will usually explain the main findings on the day. A written diagnostic report is then provided for your GP, gynaecologist or specialist if follow-up is needed.
