A gynecologic ultrasound is generally not painful, but some patients may experience mild discomfort depending on the type of ultrasound performed. A transabdominal ultrasound involves applying a small amount of pressure on the abdomen, which is usually well-tolerated. A transvaginal ultrasound may feel a bit more invasive, but it should not be painful. Our team takes great care to ensure you are as comfortable as possible throughout the procedure.
