Do I need to fast before a gynecological examination with an ultrasound? What other precautions should I take?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, you don't need to fast. There's nothing particularly special to note. Just one thing, you need to hold your urine for the test. So if you don't want to wait too long, it's best to drink some water right before you go. You'll likely feel the urge to urinate in about half an hour, and then you can proceed directly to the check-up. Don't wait until you're at the hospital to drink water and hold your urine, as it will take longer. This can speed up the check-up process.
