How to hold urine quickly for B-ultrasound

For some gynecological examinations, B-ultrasound is required to detect problems. However, many friends often encounter a problem when undergoing B-ultrasound, which is holding urine. Many people will drink a lot of water when they learn that they need to undergo an ultrasound. However, when their turn is about to come, they still don't feel the urge to urinate. So, how can you hold your urine quickly while doing an ultrasound?

Why do you need to hold your urine to do a gynecological ultrasound?

This requires us to start with the physiological structure of the uterine appendages. The uterine appendages are located in the pelvic cavity, in a forward-flexed and forward-tilted position, between the bladder and the rectum, and are surrounded by intestinal tracts. Only when the bladder is full can the uterine appendages be pushed up and visualized under the B-ultrasound machine, and the doctor can make a diagnosis.

Many people just drink water blindly, but the urge to urinate does not seem to keep up with the speed of drinking water. How can the urine be filled quickly to meet the requirement?

1. Ensure adequate water intake

In fact, the amount of water each person drinks varies, and there is no uniform standard, but in general, the amount of water you drink should be at least 1000 ml.

2. What kind of water you drink makes a difference

If you drink plain water, it may be slower. Some people will say that they are so full that they can't stand it anymore, but they don't feel like urinating at all. In fact, if you choose tea or sweet drinks, urine will be formed faster because of hypertonic diuresis.

3. Drinking water at the right time is important

No matter what kind of water you consume, you need to give it time to metabolize. According to our experience, it takes at least 40 minutes, and for some people it may even take longer.

So as long as you drink enough water, just wait patiently, but avoid sweating all the time, otherwise the water you drink will be excreted as sweat.

Knowledge Development

Gynecological B-ultrasound and fasting B-ultrasound are two examinations with different limiting conditions. You must complete the fasting examination before drinking plenty of water. Be careful not to start drinking a lot of water before the fasting examination in order to complete two ultrasounds at the same time, as this will affect the examination results of the fasting examination.
