Do I need to hold my urine during vaginal ultrasound?

When doing a vaginal B-ultrasound, you should still hold your urine appropriately. This is very important. If you do not hold your urine, there will be some deviations in your examination results. Especially for some married female friends, they should pay more attention to some matters when doing this examination. Many people cannot perform this kind of examination, such as patients with cervical and vaginal diseases.

Vaginal B-ultrasound, also known as intracavitary B-ultrasound, is a method of examination in which a long probe is inserted into the vagina or anus to observe the pelvic organs. It is similar to abdominal B-ultrasound examination in that both are used to check the uterus and ovaries for tumors and other related diseases. However, the images are clearer and the person being examined does not need to hold their urine.

For married people, they can choose vaginal B-ultrasound, while unmarried people can choose abdominal B-ultrasound or examination through the anus.

It should be noted that it is not suitable for people with vaginal bleeding, vaginitis or sexually transmitted diseases. People with diseases of the cervix, vagina, or vulva should also use it with caution. In addition, it is not suitable for people who are in mid-to-late pregnancy, have bleeding during pregnancy, or have large pelvic masses.
