Abdominal Ultrasound Warsaw - Important Information Before the Examination

Bladder Filling Before the Examination

For an accurate ultrasound examination of the urinary system, proper bladder filling is necessary before the test.

It is recommended to drink approximately 1.5 liters of still water about 1-2 hours before the ultrasound and avoid urinating until the test is completed. The water should be consumed slowly, in small sips, to minimize air swallowing, which could affect image quality.

If the ultrasound focuses on the liver, pancreas, stomach, or intestines, consuming large amounts of fluids is not required. The key factor is fasting for at least 6 hours to obtain a precise image of the organs.

How Does the Examination Work?

The gel may feel cool and sticky, causing slight discomfort, but this sensation disappears immediately after the test when the skin is wiped.

During the ultrasound, the doctor may ask the patient to change positions to obtain a better visualization of specific organs and ensure greater accuracy of the results.
