Transvaginal scan as a virgin?

Hi all,

I've be referred for an ultrasound following prolonged bleeding and also bleeding between periods. I had the scan letter this week which has said they will do an abdominal ultrasound and then in many cases they also do a transvaginal ultrasound. In the leaflet it says they wouldn't perform this on someone who has not had sexual intercourse.

I am in that situation having never had sex - does this mean that I won't get all the details on the scan that is needed? Surely if the abdominal scan was enough they wouldn't do a transvaginal scan on people?! 

Does anyone have a similar situation/advice? Is it possible to have the scan still? Or is there an alternative I need?


Thank you!

  • Hey Sunflowergirl123 I’m in the same situation as you, going for my ultrasound scan tomorrow. Very scared, mine could be cervical or womb. Have had the blood test results for ovarian and all clear although doctor is phoning me in a few days to discuss those results. Just wanted to let you know you aren’t alone and show you some love from afar at this difficult time.
