What to Expect During Your Female Reproductive Ultrasound Appointment
Understanding the process helps you feel prepared and at ease. Here is a step-by-step guide to your female reproductive ultrasound at our Chico location.
Scheduling Your Appointment
Call us or book online to schedule your pelvic ultrasound. We offer appointments within 48 hours and can accommodate urgent referrals from your OB-GYN or primary care provider.
Preparing for Your Scan
For a transabdominal pelvic ultrasound, you will be asked to drink 32 ounces of water approximately one hour before your appointment. A full bladder helps lift the uterus and provides a clearer acoustic window for imaging.
For a transvaginal ultrasound (TVS), an empty bladder is preferred. You may be asked to use the restroom just before the scan begins. No fasting or special dietary restrictions are needed.
During the Scan
For a transabdominal scan, warm gel is applied to your lower abdomen, and a transducer glides across the skin to capture images. For a transvaginal scan, a slim, lubricated probe is gently inserted. Both approaches are safe and most patients report only mild pressure or slight discomfort.
Receiving Your Results
Your ultrasound images are sent to a board-certified radiologist for interpretation. A detailed written report is delivered to your referring physician within 48 hours.
Follow-Up Care
Your OB-GYN or primary care provider will review the results with you and recommend any next steps — whether that means monitoring, additional testing, or treatment.

Who Benefits from Female Reproductive Ultrasound in Chico?
Female Reproductive Ultrasound serves a wide range of patients across Chico and the surrounding Butte County communities. Here are some common scenarios where this imaging is recommended:
- A woman experiencing heavy or irregular menstrual periods may benefit from a pelvic ultrasound to identify potential causes such as fibroids, polyps, or hormonal imbalances.
- Women with chronic pelvic pain or pressure may find answers through ultrasound imaging, which can reveal ovarian cysts, fibroids, or other structural causes.

Frequently Asked Questions About Female Reproductive Ultrasound in Chico
1. Can I have a pelvic ultrasound during my period?
Yes, a pelvic ultrasound can generally be performed during menstruation. In some cases, your provider may prefer to schedule the exam at a specific point in your cycle — for example, follicle monitoring is typically performed during certain cycle days. Your referring physician will advise you on optimal timing.
2. Is a transvaginal ultrasound painful?
Most patients describe the transvaginal ultrasound as mildly uncomfortable but not painful. The probe is slim, covered with a protective sheath, and lubricated for comfort. Our sonographers proceed gently and you can ask to pause or stop at any time.
3. How do I prepare for a transvaginal ultrasound?
For a transvaginal ultrasound, an empty bladder is preferred — so you may be asked to use the restroom before the scan. No fasting is required. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing for easy access. The entire procedure is brief and most patients report only mild pressure.
4. Can a pelvic ultrasound detect ovarian cancer?
A pelvic ultrasound can identify suspicious ovarian masses, cysts, or changes in blood flow patterns that may warrant further evaluation. While ultrasound alone cannot diagnose cancer, it is an important screening and diagnostic tool that your physician uses alongside lab work and clinical assessment.
5. How long does a female reproductive ultrasound take?
A typical pelvic ultrasound appointment takes 20 to 40 minutes. A combined transabdominal and transvaginal exam may take slightly longer. We schedule generous appointment windows so your sonographer can be thorough without feeling rushed.
6. What is the difference between transabdominal and transvaginal ultrasound?
A transabdominal ultrasound uses a probe on your lower abdomen with a full bladder for imaging. A transvaginal ultrasound uses a slim internal probe for higher-resolution close-up images. Your provider may order one or both depending on the clinical question being answered.
7. Do I need a doctor’s referral for a pelvic ultrasound?
Yes, a physician’s order is typically required for a diagnostic pelvic ultrasound. Your OB-GYN, primary care provider, or fertility specialist can provide a referral. If you do not currently have a provider, our team can assist with local recommendations in Chico.
