Patient's question:
I have some discomfort in my testicles and need to go to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor prescribed several ultrasounds for me, including a bilateral kidney ultrasound. Do I need to hold my urine for the bilateral kidney ultrasound?Doctor's answer:
How to need to hold urine depends on what items you need to check carefully. Color Doppler ultrasound does not require holding urine for kidney examinations. However, if you need to check the ureters or bilateral renal arteries, it is recommended to fast before the examination. For bladder examinations, holding urine is necessary. It is advised that you consult with your doctor treating you. Don’t delay your matter. Testicular conditions are prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. Moreover, for male patients, it is important to seek treatment at professional and regular hospitals, and treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, attention should be paid to restricting sexual activity and maintaining a good mood.
