Things to note before doing uterine B-ultrasound

In principle, B-ultrasound is ultrasonic transmission, which is just a kind of sound wave transmission, not ionizing radiation or electromagnetic radiation. This kind of sound wave does not cause any harm to human tissue. However, this does not mean that ultrasound examinations can be performed at will throughout the pregnancy without any restrictions on time and frequency.

1. When doing a uterine B-ultrasound, a certain amount of urine must be accumulated in the bladder in order to see clearly. Therefore, you must remember not to urinate before doing a uterine B-ultrasound.

2. Empty your bladder before undergoing a gynecological examination. If you want to do both a uterine B-ultrasound and a gynecological examination, it is best to do the uterine B-ultrasound first and then the gynecological examination.

Can I eat before doing B-ultrasound?

Whether you can eat before an ultrasound depends on the part that needs to be examined. If it is the abdomen, you cannot, and you also need to fast for 8 hours before the examination. Because eating can cause changes in organs such as the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas, which will affect the accuracy of the test results. Some organs may even change position. For example, the spleen will shift backward and upward after a full meal, thus affecting the imaging, so it is best to have an empty stomach.

Many diseases can be diagnosed through B-ultrasound examination. Although there are not many contraindications for this examination, you should also pay attention to the points mentioned above to avoid affecting the results of the examination. However, you do not need to be on an empty stomach when doing a cardiac B-ultrasound. You do not need to be on an empty stomach for examinations during pregnancy. You only need to hold your urine.
