Transvaginal ultrasound for single woman
May 19, 2026

Question

Hi, I was hoping you might be able to advise me. My specialist recommended that I get a transvaginal ultrasound as part of evaluating possible endometriosis. As a religious single woman who is a virgin, I wanted to ask whether this would be permissible, and whether there are any particular considerations or alternatives I should discuss with the doctor beforehand. Thank you!

Answer

Thank you for reaching out.

There is no halachic issue with having a transvaginal ultrasound as an unmarried virgin, and it is fully permissible. 

Please feel free to get back to us with any further questions.

We wish you good health!
