Private pelvic duplex ultrasound scan in London
A pelvic duplex ultrasound combines standard gynaecological ultrasound with Doppler assessment of blood flow. It is designed for patients who need more than a routine pelvic scan, especially where vascular information may help explain pelvic pain, suspected pelvic congestion, fibroid or mass vascularity, or ovarian blood-flow concerns.
Why book this scan?
It adds Doppler blood-flow information to pelvic imaging, helping your clinician understand whether vascular changes may be relevant to your symptoms.
Who is it for?
Patients with chronic pelvic pain, suspected pelvic congestion, complex pelvic lesions, fibroids, cysts, or a specialist request for Doppler pelvic assessment.
What happens next?
Your report can support onward GP, gynaecology, vascular or interventional radiology referral if the findings require further assessment.
Benefits
Benefits of a pelvic duplex Doppler scan
A duplex scan can provide extra information when symptoms are not fully explained by structural imaging alone.
Blood-flow assessment
Colour and spectral Doppler can show the presence, pattern and direction of blood flow in pelvic vessels or within lesions.
Pelvic congestion pathway
Useful when pelvic venous congestion is suspected, particularly in patients with chronic pelvic heaviness or pain.
Lesion vascularity
Can help assess vascularity around fibroids, masses or complex cysts, supporting more informed onward referral.
Private, direct access
No GP referral is required, and female ultrasound clinicians are available on request.
Possible Findings
What pelvic duplex ultrasound may help assess
| Area assessed | What Doppler may add | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Pelvic veins | Venous dilatation or altered flow patterns | May support suspected pelvic congestion pathway. |
| Fibroids | Vascularity around or within fibroids | May help with mapping and specialist planning. |
| Ovaries | Ovarian blood-flow assessment where relevant | May add context in selected ovarian or pain presentations. |
| Pelvic masses or cysts | Vascular characteristics of a lesion | Can support risk assessment and referral decisions. |
| Uterus and endometrium | Blood-flow features when clinically appropriate | May add useful information alongside structural findings. |
Important safety note
Ultrasound can identify suspicious or abnormal features, but it cannot always provide a final diagnosis on its own. Severe pain, heavy bleeding, fainting, fever, suspected ectopic pregnancy or rapidly worsening symptoms need urgent medical assessment.

Common Questions
Frequently asked questions
What is a pelvic duplex ultrasound scan?
A pelvic duplex ultrasound combines standard pelvic ultrasound with colour and spectral Doppler. It assesses pelvic organs such as the uterus and ovaries while also evaluating blood flow in and around pelvic vessels, fibroids, cysts or other lesions.
What does the Doppler part add?
Doppler shows the direction and pattern of blood flow. This can help assess pelvic congestion, vascularity of fibroids or masses, ovarian blood flow and other vascular features that are not fully assessed on a standard pelvic ultrasound alone.
How much does a private pelvic duplex ultrasound cost?
A pelvic duplex ultrasound scan at London Private Ultrasound costs £249, including the scan and written diagnostic report.
When should I book a pelvic duplex ultrasound?
It may be useful for chronic pelvic pain, suspected pelvic congestion, pelvic heaviness, varicose-vein type symptoms, assessment of lesion vascularity, fibroids, complex cysts, or when your GP or specialist has requested Doppler pelvic imaging.
Can it help with pelvic congestion syndrome?
A pelvic duplex scan can look for Doppler features that may support suspected pelvic venous congestion. Ultrasound findings are interpreted together with your symptoms and may be followed by GP, gynaecology, vascular or interventional radiology referral where appropriate.
Is a transvaginal scan required?
Not always. Transabdominal imaging is performed, and transvaginal imaging is offered only with your consent when it is clinically appropriate and likely to improve diagnostic detail.
Do I need a full bladder?
A comfortably full bladder usually helps the transabdominal part of the scan. If a transvaginal scan is performed, an empty bladder is generally preferred.
Can I request a female sonographer?
Yes. A female ultrasound clinician is available on request at no extra cost. Please mention this when booking so the clinic can arrange the most suitable appointment.
Do I need a GP referral?
No. You can self-refer and book directly online or by phone. If you have previous scans, blood tests or specialist letters, bring them to your appointment.
When will I receive my results?
Your ultrasound specialist will usually explain the main findings on the day, and a written diagnostic report is provided for your GP, gynaecologist or specialist.
Is pelvic duplex ultrasound safe?
Yes. It uses ultrasound sound waves and Doppler technology rather than ionising radiation. It is a non-invasive diagnostic imaging test when performed by trained professionals.
