Patient's question:
I want to have a transvaginal ultrasound today, but I ate in the morning and want to go tomorrow instead. Could you please tell me what I should pay attention to before having a transvaginal ultrasound?Doctor's answer:
If it is necessary to have a gynecological color Doppler ultrasound due to lesions in the uterine appendages, you can choose between an abdominal color Doppler ultrasound and a vaginal color Doppler ultrasound. When undergoing a gynecological color Doppler ultrasound, gas accumulation in the intestines can affect the results, so it is generally required to hold urine. Only after the bladder is full can the examination be performed clearly. If it is a vaginal ultrasound, there is no need to hold urine, and the bladder should be empty. Neither gynecological color Doppler ultrasound nor vaginal ultrasound requires fasting.
