Preparation for ultrasound
Some types of ultrasound examinations require special not very complicated preparation. For example, it is important to know that breast ultrasound is performed between the fifth and tenth day of the menstrual cycle. It is not recommended to use deodorant on the eve of the procedure.
Gynaecological or pelvic ultrasound should be performed on the 5-7th day of the menstrual cycle, necessarily after emptying the bowels. If the procedure is carried out through the anterior abdominal wall, it is necessary that the bladder is filled.
For men, transabdominal prostate ultrasound (through the anterior abdominal wall) is also done with a full bladder, transrectal ultrasound - after emptying the bowel.
Ultrasound of the bladder and kidneys: about a day it is important to start adhering to a strict diet, excluding from the diet of spicy, acidic, tinned, fried foods. You should also refrain from eating fresh vegetables, fruits that can cause increased gas formation. An hour before the procedure should drink a litre of water, because for the accuracy of data it is necessary to fill the bladder.
Perhaps the most difficult preparation for ultrasound of the abdominal cavity. Here you should also follow a strict diet, and refuse "harmful" foods should be three days before the appointed date for the procedure. Before going to bed you should take espumisan, to reduce the risk of bloating. If there is a tendency to constipation, it is better for 12 hours to take a laxative. Ultrasound of the peritoneal organs is carried out in the morning, on an empty stomach. Do not drink water, smoke, use chewing gum.
All these recommendations must be followed, as they are essential for a quality and accurate test result.
