At UWH of The Carolinas, we understand that every ultrasound exam is a deeply personal part of your health journey. From tracking the early milestones of pregnancy to evaluating a gynecologic concern, our in-office ultrasound services deliver fast, accurate insights with a compassionate touch.
Your pregnancy journey is a series of remarkable moments, and our obstetric ultrasound services are here to celebrate each one with you. Our experienced team uses state-of-the-art imaging technology to monitor your baby’s growth, movement, heartbeat, and development. Your obstetrics team is here to support every milestone of your pregnancy, providing clear guidance, reassurance, and personalized care.
We use obstetrics ultrasounds to:
Confirm your due date
Monitor fetal growth and anatomy
Check placenta placement
Detect twins (or more)
Identify potential concerns early
Check the amount of amniotic fluid in your uterus
Assess your baby’s wellbeing, including Biophysical Profiles (BPPs)
Understanding your body is key to maintaining lifelong health. When something feels off, our dedicated team listens and takes a closer look. Our pelvic ultrasound services help us evaluate the uterus, ovaries, cervix, and surrounding areas to uncover conditions such as fibroids, cysts, or polyps that might be impacting your health.
We believe that clarity and compassion go hand in hand. That’s why we share your results in plain language and offer guidance every step of the way. With prompt results and a warm, supportive approach, you can count on us to provide the answers you need.
At UWH of The Carolinas, we strive to make your ultrasound experience as comfortable and informative as possible. Whether you’re here for an obstetric or a gynecologic ultrasound, here’s a quick overview:
Warm Welcome & Preparation
Our friendly staff will guide you through check-in and help you change into comfortable clothing or a gown, ensuring easy access to the exam area.
A Gentle, Non-Invasive Procedure
Depending on your needs, our skilled technologists perform either a transabdominal scan (often requiring a full bladder for clearer images) or a transvaginal scan (conducted with privacy and clear guidance). A water-based gel is applied to facilitate smooth movement of the transducer while capturing real-time images with minimal discomfort.
Results & Follow-Up
After the exam, the gel is removed, and you can resume normal activities immediately. Your provider will review the images with you either during your visit or at a follow-up appointment, explaining the results in clear, straightforward language and discussing any next steps in your care plan.
