What is a pelvic MRI? 

A Pelvic MRI is an X-ray-free gynecological examination that explores the entire pelvic anatomy: ovaries, uterus, bladder and rectum. It is a second-line examination, generally performed after a pelvic ultrasound to clarify or confirm a diagnosis made during the ultrasound examination.

Pelvic MRI detects the following pathologies or abnormalities:

  • Endometriosis
  • Pelvic pain 
  • Uterine malformation 
  • Fertility assessment

  • Bladder pathology
  • Rectal Pathology
  • Ovarian cysts
  • PCOS = Polymicrocystic ovary syndrome

Is pelvic MRI really effective?

It is an excellent morphological examination that explores all the organs of the pelvis. Its contribution is irreplaceable in certain circumstances, such as endometriosis, for which the MRI is the only imaging test that provides a complete assessment.

What is pelvic pain?

It's pain felt in the pelvic region, i.e. the lower abdomen. Pelvic pain generally affects the uterus, bladder and rectum. The pain may be dull, intermittent or acute.

When does pelvic pain become chronic?

When it is spontaneous or provoked, cyclical or not, and has been occurring for more than six months. If the pain is severe, we recommend that you consult a doctor. In most cases, medical imaging such as thePelvic MRI is requested to identify the causes of pelvic pain.

What is endometriosis?

Endometriosis is characterized by the presence of endometrium outside the uterus. The endometrium is the inner layer of the uterus. There are three types of endometriosis:

  • Ovaries with endometrioma nodules on the ovaries
  • Peritoneal, where a multitude of endometriosis lesions can be found all over the peritoneum
  • Deep sub-peritoneal, which can be found mainly in the genital partitions

What are the symptoms of endometriosis?

Most of the time, endometriosis causes painful symptoms that need to be treated:

  • Pain during menstruation
  • Pain during intercourse
  • Fertility disorders
  • Digestive disorders (diarrhea, constipation, discomfort, bloating)
