Preparation for ultrasound examination
Preparation for ultrasound examination
The preparation for ultrasound examination depends on what organs you plan to examine.
For ultrasound of abdominal cavity organs
You need to make appointment for the morning time and come fasting (on an empty stomach). If for any reason, you do not have free time in the morning, then you can make appointment for any time, suitable for you, but not eat and drink 4 hours before the examination. For more precise diagnostics, 1-2 days before the scheduled visit, it is also recommended taking enzymic preparations or absorbents, for example, the activated carbon as per the instruction.
For ultrasound of the mammary glands
You need to make appointment for ultrasound on the 5th-11th days of the monthly cycle, if the doctor does not schedule other time.
For ultrasound of the bladder, prostate, or gynecological abdominal ultrasound
For diagnosing these organs, it is very important to have a full bladder while undergoing the ultrasound examination. For that, it is enough not to urinate 2-3 hours or drink about one liter of water before the visit to a doctor (stop drinking water one hour before the scheduled time).
For other types of the ultrasound, there are no limitations, if they are not specified by your attending doctor.
