A Specialized Approach to Pelvic Pain

Standard pelvic ultrasounds frequently return “normal” results even when endometriosis is present. At Athena Women’s Ultrasound, our sonographers are specially trained in advanced endometriosis mapping. We actively look for nodules, scar tissue, and tethered organs that indicate Deep Infiltrating Endometriosis (DIE) and adenomyosis (endometriosis within the uterine muscle).

What We Evaluate During the Scan:

  • The Uterus and Ovaries: Checking for adenomyosis and endometriomas (chocolate cysts).

  • The Anterior Compartment: Evaluating the bladder wall for endometriotic nodules.

  • The Posterior Compartment: Checking the bowel, rectum, and the pouch of Douglas.

  • The “Sliding Sign”: A dynamic ultrasound technique used to see if the uterus and bowel slide freely against each other, or if they are stuck together by adhesions.

How to Prepare:

Because we evaluate the bowel during this scan, you may be required to take a mild bowel preparation (laxative) prior to your appointment to ensure clear imaging. Our reception team will provide specific instructions upon booking.

A painterly medical illustration combining acrylic painting textures with detailed pencil and colored pencil drawings. The left side shows a recline female patient in a sage green shirt, receiving an ultrasound on her abdomen. The sonographer’s arm is visible. She looks toward a large monitor on the right. Center-stage, a cluster of purplish-purple petal shapes with integrated subtle woman profile outlines, inspired by image_3.png, flow from the transducer towards the monitor. The large monitor displays a clear, detailed schematic cross-section of female pelvic anatomy (uterus, ovaries, bowel). The screen shows multiple deep purplish nodules and adhesive bands clearly depicted on these structures. Below the main screen, there are two smaller inset illustrative screens. Inset 1 shows a detailed close-up of a uterine wall with internal purplish texture (adenomyosis). Inset 2 shows an ovary with a distinct purplish-filled structure (endometrioma). Background colors are sage green, terracotta, cream, and gold. The style is a textured combination of painting and fine-line drawing. There is no text.

Frequently Asked Questions

While we excel at detecting moderate to severe (DIE) endometriosis, superficial endometriosis may still only be definitively diagnosed via laparoscopic surgery.
