Ultrasound Examinations in Gdańsk – Fast and Accurate Diagnostics at Mediss Medical Clinic

At Mediss Medical Clinic in Gdańsk, we offer comprehensive ultrasound examinations performed by experienced physicians using modern equipment. Thanks to our precise ultrasound diagnostics, patients receive quick and reliable information about their health—crucial for making the right diagnosis and initiating treatment.

We ensure complete patient comfort: we take the time to discuss the procedure, explain each step of the examination, and discuss the results in detail to ensure a sense of security.

Ultrasound is the only completely safe imaging examination that allows the physician to assess the structure of internal organs in real time. It uses high-frequency sound waves, which bounce off the organs and generate images on the screen. This method helps detect structural abnormalities, the presence of fluid, tumors, cysts, urinary stones, and can identify organ enlargement or other irregularities.

We use advanced devices: GE VOLUSON E10 BT21, Samsung HS60, and SAMSUNG V6 / 2024

Abdominal Ultrasound

Abdominal ultrasound is a non-invasive, painless imaging method used to evaluate the internal organs within the abdomen and pelvis. It helps assess the liver, gallbladder, bile ducts, pancreas, spleen, kidneys, bladder, and in men—the prostate gland, while in women—the uterus and ovaries (if examined through the abdominal wall).

This examination is also used to monitor treatment of various conditions (e.g. cancer) and to assess abdominal trauma.

When should you have an abdominal ultrasound?

It is recommended in case of symptoms such as:

• recurrent or chronic abdominal pain,
• sudden unexplained weight loss,
• feeling of fullness, bloating, digestive issues,
• suspected kidney or gallstones,
• jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes),
• urinary or bowel retention,
• suspected abdominal tumors,
• abnormal lab test results (e.g. liver enzymes).

Abdominal ultrasound can also be performed preventively, e.g. once a year, especially in patients at risk of liver, pancreas, or kidney disease.

Thyroid Ultrasound in Gdańsk

Thyroid ultrasound is a safe, non-invasive imaging test used to assess the gland’s size, shape, and structure, as well as detect focal lesions (e.g. nodules, cysts). During the exam, the doctor may also evaluate the cervical lymph nodes.

When should you perform a thyroid ultrasound?

It is recommended for:
– visible or palpable neck lumps,
– suspected thyroid disorders (hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, Hashimoto’s),
– planned pregnancy or fertility issues,
– follow-up of previously detected changes,
– monitoring after surgical or pharmacological treatment.

Testicular Ultrasound

Scrotal ultrasound is a quick, non-invasive and painless examination used to assess the male reproductive organs – testicles, epididymides, and scrotum. It allows early detection of conditions such as tumors, cysts, varicoceles, or inflammations.

At Mediss Medical, the test is performed in a comfortable environment, respecting patient privacy. The exam is conducted by an experienced urologist specializing in male reproductive health.

When should you have a testicular ultrasound?

It is recommended if you notice:

• palpable lumps or irregularities in the testicles,
• pain or discomfort in the scrotum,
• feeling of heaviness or swelling,
• testicular injury,
• suspected varicocele,
• infertility or hormonal issues,
• post-cancer monitoring.

It’s also worth doing the exam preventively, especially in men aged 20–40, when testicular cancer is most common.

Lymph Nodes and Salivary Glands Ultrasound

This ultrasound evaluates lymph nodes (cervical, axillary, inguinal, supraclavicular) and salivary glands (parotid, submandibular). It helps detect enlargement, inflammation, or tumor-related changes.

When should you perform this exam?

Indications include:
– palpable lymph node enlargement,
– pain or tenderness,
– chronic throat or tonsil infections,
– swollen salivary glands, dry mouth,
– suspected sialolithiasis or inflammation.

Soft Tissue Ultrasound

This non-invasive, safe imaging method evaluates superficial structures like muscles, tendons, ligaments, subcutaneous tissue, and skin changes. It helps detect traumatic lesions, cysts, lipomas, hematomas, abscesses, and other soft tissue disorders.

When is it useful?

• sports injuries (muscle tears or strains),
• pain or limited limb movement,
• suspected cysts, tumors, hernias,
• post-surgical monitoring,
• palpable subcutaneous lumps or nodules.

Especially valuable for physically active individuals, in post-injury diagnostics, and therapy monitoring.

Breast Ultrasound

This is a key imaging method in breast disease diagnostics, especially recommended for women under 40, during pregnancy, or as a supplement to mammography. It allows precise assessment of breast tissue and identification of benign (cysts, fibroadenomas) and malignant changes, as well as monitoring previously found abnormalities.

When should you have a breast ultrasound?

• palpable lumps or irregularities,
• breast pain or swelling,
• nipple discharge, skin changes, asymmetry,
• preventive screening for women aged 20–40 (every 12 months),
• pregnant or breastfeeding women (as a mammography alternative),
• monitoring benign or post-cancer changes.

Performed using modern equipment by experienced specialists, ensuring high diagnostic value and complete safety.

Gynecological (Transvaginal) Ultrasound

Transvaginal ultrasound is an important diagnostic tool that enables accurate evaluation of pelvic organs. It’s performed with a special vaginal probe, covered with a latex sheath and gel for hygiene and comfort.

This exam is effective in identifying various disorders, abnormalities, and changes in female reproductive organs, including:

• abnormal endometrial thickness,
• polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS),
• ovarian cysts,
• uterine fibroids,
• gynecological cancers,
• abnormal structure of uterus, pelvic bones, and tissues.

Although safe and non-invasive, results should always be interpreted by an experienced specialist, considering the patient’s clinical context and medical history.

When should you have a transvaginal ultrasound?

• abnormal vaginal bleeding,
• lower abdominal pain,
• menstrual irregularities,
• infertility diagnosis,
• pregnancy monitoring,
• evaluation of reproductive organs,
• preventive screening.

Each decision about performing a transvaginal ultrasound should be made individually by a physician based on medical history, symptoms, and diagnostic needs. Regular gynecological visits and necessary tests are key to women’s health.
