At Femme Med and Spa, we understand how important it is to feel at ease during intimate health assessments. Our ultrasounds can help identify conditions like ovarian cysts, abnormal bleeding, and more. Let us guide you through the process in a supportive space where you can openly share your concerns.
Gain Valuable Insights to Guide Your Care
Ultrasounds are non-invasive imaging tests that use sound waves to create detailed pictures of your internal organs. At Femme Med and Spa, we use ultrasounds to evaluate the health of your reproductive system and identify conditions like ovarian cysts, fibroids, and abnormal bleeding. The process is gentle and quick and provides us with valuable insights to guide your care.
Ultrasounds Can Identify
- Ovarian cysts and abnormalities
- Uterine fibroids or growths
- Abnormalities in the pelvic organs
- Early signs of pregnancy
- Issues with the placenta or fetal development
- Problems with the uterus, such as endometrial thickening
- Signs of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
- Structural abnormalities in the reproductive system
How Do Ultrasounds Work?
During your ultrasound, you’ll be asked to lie on an exam table, and a gel will be applied to your skin. This gel helps the transducer move over your skin while sending sound waves through your body. The transducer is a small device that emits high-frequency sound waves to create images of your internal organs.
You might feel slight pressure as the transducer moves over your abdomen, but the process is painless. The procedure typically takes 15 to 30 minutes.
Advantages of Ultrasounds:
- Non-invasive and painless procedure
- No radiation exposure, making it safe for all women
- Quick and simple with minimal preparation
- Provides real-time, detailed images of internal organs
- Helps detect issues early, leading to better outcomes
- Can be used throughout pregnancy for monitoring
- Allows for clear visualization of reproductive health
- Completely safe for routine check-ups and diagnostic purposes
Who Needs Ultrasounds?
Ultrasounds can be helpful for women experiencing a range of reproductive health concerns. If you’re dealing with abnormal bleeding or pelvic pain or have a history of conditions like ovarian cysts or fibroids, an ultrasound can provide insight. During your consultation, our providers will listen to your unique concerns and perform a thorough examination to understand your health needs. Based on this, we’ll curate a personalized treatment plan to address your concerns.
Generally speaking, you may need an ultrasound if:
- You experience abnormal or irregular menstrual bleeding
- You have pelvic pain or discomfort

Do I Need to Prepare for an Ultrasound?
The preparation for your ultrasound depends on the type of ultrasound you’re having. For most abdominal ultrasounds, you may be asked to avoid eating or drinking for several hours before the procedure to ensure the clearest images. For pelvic ultrasounds, you may be asked to drink plenty of water beforehand so your bladder is full. Our team will provide specific instructions depending on your procedure so you’ll know exactly what to expect.
