Do I need to drink water for a gynecological ultrasound examination?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

During a gynecological examination, if an abdominal ultrasound is performed, it is necessary to hold urine in advance. If a transvaginal ultrasound is performed, there is no need to hold urine.
Suggestions:
1. Eat easily digestible foods the night before, and refrain from eating or drinking on the day of the examination.
2. For spleen ultrasound, liver and kidney ultrasound examinations: Generally, no special preparation is required, but it is best to be fasting.
