Pelvic Ultrasound.

Information.

A pelvic ultrasound is a medical test that uses sound waves to create images of the organs in the pelvic area, such as the uterus and ovaries in women, and the bladder and prostate in men. This procedure helps detect cysts, fibroids, tumors, kidney stones, and other abnormalities. Doctors recommend it to investigate symptoms like pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding, or fertility issues. The pelvic ultrasound is a safe, non-invasive tool that provides valuable information for diagnosing and treating various conditions.

Preparation.

To ensure optimal results for your pelvic ultrasound, please follow these recommendations before your appointment:

1. Adequate Hydration: Drink 4 to 8 glasses of water (approximately 1 to 2 liters) 1.5 to 2 hours before the exam, and avoid urinating. A full bladder enhances the visualization of pelvic organs.
2. Avoid Creams or Oils: Do not apply moisturizing products on your abdomen on the day of the exam, as they can interfere with image quality.
3. Comfortable Clothing: Wear two-piece outfits that allow easy access to the abdominal area, facilitating the procedure.
4. Medical Documentation: Bring previous related test results so the specialist can compare them and adequately assess your progress. \
5. Punctuality: Arrive on time for your appointment to avoid delays and ensure proper attention.
