If you’re scheduled for a pelvic ultrasound, you might be wondering whether you need to remove your pants. The answer is usually yes.
During a pelvic ultrasound, the technician will need to get a clear view of your uterus, ovaries, and other reproductive organs. This is typically done by placing a transducer wand inside your vagina, which allows the technician to see images of your pelvic area on a screen.
In order to get the best scan images, you will need to remove your underwear. Don’t worry though, the technician will give you a drape to cover yourself. While it might feel slightly uncomfortable, pelvic ultrasounds are a pretty straightforward and painless procedure.
