When you’re experiencing pain or discomfort in your abdomen, waiting weeks for answers can be stressful and even frightening. Unfortunately, long NHS waiting times often mean patients are left worrying without clarity. At Riz Ultrasound in Glasgow, we believe no one should have to wait unnecessarily for vital diagnostic care. That’s why we provide same-day abdominal ultrasound scans, giving you fast, accurate results and peace of mind.
Why You Might Need an Abdominal Ultrasound
Abdominal pain is one of the most common reasons people seek medical help. However, the causes can vary widely, ranging from minor digestive issues to more serious conditions. An abdominal ultrasound is a safe, non-invasive way to assess organs and tissues in the abdominal area, helping to pinpoint what’s happening inside your body.
Common reasons for an abdominal ultrasound include:
- Persistent or unexplained abdominal pain
- Suspected gallstones or kidney stones
- Liver disease or abnormal liver function tests
- Pancreatic conditions
- Suspected abdominal masses or cysts
- Bloating, unexplained weight loss, or digestive problems
- Monitoring known conditions, such as fatty liver disease
An ultrasound can give your doctor a clearer picture and help guide treatment, but more importantly, it can quickly rule out serious issues, reducing unnecessary anxiety.
The Problem with Waiting
For many patients in Scotland, the NHS wait for a non-urgent ultrasound scan can take weeks — sometimes even months. While waiting, you may continue experiencing pain, discomfort, and uncertainty about your health.
Delays can also:
- Prolong your symptoms without answers
- Cause unnecessary stress and worry
- Delay important treatment decisions
- Impact your work, family life, or daily routine
At Riz Ultrasound, we understand that when it comes to your health, time matters. That’s why we’ve built our services around accessibility and convenience.

- Easy booking process – Call or book online, and we’ll arrange your scan at a time that works for you.
- Quick appointments – Same-day or next-day availability for most abdominal scans.
- Expert care – Your scan is carried out by a highly trained sonographer using advanced ultrasound technology.

This means you could go from experiencing pain in the morning to having clear answers by the afternoon.
What Happens During the Scan?
An abdominal ultrasound is a simple and painless procedure. During the scan:
- You’ll lie comfortably on an examination bed.
- A gel is applied to your abdomen to help the ultrasound probe capture clear images.
- The sonographer gently moves the probe over your abdomen, viewing your internal organs in real-time.
The scan typically lasts around 20–30 minutes. Most patients find the process straightforward and reassuring, as they can often see the images live on the screen while the sonographer explains what is being observed.
