Patient's question:
I have never had an ultrasound examination in a hospital before. This time, my unit said it is necessary to have an ultrasound examination. How is an ultrasound examination done?Doctor's answer:
Ultrasound is very simple. It involves placing a probe directly on the abdomen to examine the uterus and its appendages, etc. The probe moves uniformly across the abdomen. There is no pain during an abdominal ultrasound. It is best to hold your urine before the examination to ensure clearer visibility of any abnormalities in the uterine cavity. Abdominal ultrasound is painless and does not cause any other discomfort. It is best not to be overly anxious and to relax.
