Lower abdominal MRI for women – an accurate and painless examination for gynecological symptoms
Many women suffer from lower abdominal pain, menstrual disorders, or other gynecological symptoms, the cause of which often cannot be determined by conventional examinations. In such cases, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the lower abdomen (gynecological MRI) provides valuable additional information to support diagnosis and treatment.
What does an MRI scan of the lower abdomen examine?
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a radiation-free, painless, and accurate imaging method that provides a detailed anatomical view of the soft tissues in the pelvic area. The examination can be used to assess:
- uterine fibroids, or myomas
- ovarian cysts and tumors
- endometriosis lesions
- adenomyosis
- inflammation or scar tissue in the pelvic area
- structural abnormalities in the uterus and ovaries
Gynecological MRI often complements ultrasound and is particularly useful when symptoms persist without a clear cause or when a more accurate assessment than ultrasound is needed before surgery or other treatment.
Who is lower abdominal magnetic resonance imaging suitable for?
The study is particularly useful for women who experience:
- recurring or persistent lower abdominal pain
- irregular or painful menstruation
- fertility challenges
- suspected endometriosis
- symptoms that have not been identified by ultrasound examination
Gynecological magnetic resonance imaging is also suitable for supporting treatment decisions prior to planned surgery or hormone therapy.
